Period Pieces . . By Marie Marot
IU» ^Tu^sx I
KNOWLEDGE of period furniture and its
development is an invaluable aid to the
amateur decorator. The housewife who
does not re!y on professional aid for the furnish
ing of her home must study the characteristics
that distinguish c-ne period from another. She
must know what types to combine with modern
furniture, what two period* she can plnce side
by side to achieve harmony of effect.
Sketched here are several attractive examples
illustrative of various periods of furniture de
sign. Study the lines of these pieces and you will
soon realize their adaptation value.
A settee inspired by the Empire period, is
first. Its lines are far from simple, and it can
be used admirably with a few “Xancy chairs.”
Note the rush bottom seat.
Number two is a graceful, upholstered sofa,
characteristic of the period that succeeded the
Empire and Grecian eras in design. Its curved
lines and ornate details make it a fit companion
piece for Trench furniture.
Designed by that great craftsman, Hepplc
whitc, are the chairs marked “3” and “4.” Their
t race end symmetry of line speak for them
selves.
Number five is a typicai Chippendale chair,
perfect fo: the formal dining room. Its lines
ere sturdier than those of the Hepplewhite
period, and it can be used more freely in modern
decoration.
The framed oils Rre in flower designs so
popular in Empire decoration. Number six is
done on a blsck background while number seven
uses a white ground.

THE traveling costume of mid- (

The conventional traveling
suit of tweed or wool is. of course,
always appropriate, but at this time
of the year one finds it too warm.
Why not wear a silk ensemble?
Here is one. while not decidedly a
traveling costume, which would be
attractive and comfortable for that
purpose. It is simple and smart.
The bordered print is exceedingly ef
