With the vuMt array of various styles In
furniture and the efforts of manufacturers,
artists and deslitners to produce beautiful
effects, the purchaser of this greatest ne
cessity in furnishing a house finds himself
In a dilemma as to a choice very soon
after entering any store making any pre
tensions of carrying an up-to-date stock.
And the further he Investigates the more
wonderful the problem becomes and, If he
wai not already aware of the fact, ha
make the discovery that more work is
required to pick out chairs, lounges, bet
steads and tha like than cloth for a suit of
clothes.
Furniture has become a science ant has
to be studied. The question is more than
merely one of the required body, with the
four legs attached underneath and the
"upperworks" above, whatever they may
be, but it is also a question of when and
by whom was this or that design or
trifling feature invented; whose mind con
ceived this peculiar formation of the legs,
or that difficult carved work on tha back.
Everything in the way of furniture, that
Is, of course, of tha better sort, is created
after the designs of olden periods, and in
the salesrooms the different sets are
labelled according to what period in the
blstory of the world their models were
born and used. The purchaser should
therefore know something of the chairs
and tables our forefathers and their fore
fathers sat upon and ate from, or ha will
lose some Interesting information. As the
collector loves his coins, so the man fur
nishing his house will And something in
the task beside the mere exchange if
money for pieces of wood or metal shaped
in the forms needed by man.
Problem Made Simpler.
The elimination of the grand parlor or
"spare room" for extra occasions renders
the work of selecting furniture much
more stnuile and allows one to work with
greater singleness of purpose. The parlor
having been merged Into the sitting room
for the family or guests, it Is only neces
sary to combine pleasant, home-like effect
with comfort and a show of style and the
room the main room of the whole house
is fitted. Thereafter, of coure, come the
dining room, hall, bed chanr.bers and other
rooms to be provided for, but they do not
present such vexing problems.
The main object of manufacturers Is to
copy from antique designs, to produce
something of striking uniqueness. Fur
than this the fashion in furniture has
changed little In years, though makers In
ject Individual peculiarities at times and
Introduce slight changes, perhaps a round
pillar where before It was square, or a
curs' where where a straight line pre
vailed, and call them the latest style.
But while there are new fashions with
every season, there is really no attempt
even in the smartest homes to keep up-to-date
In the small matters. It Is enough
at this date to furnish the home with
furniture of unique or ancient design.
Antique Mast Stand Alone.
Pieces actually a century or mora in
age themselves must, of course, be for tha
man with millions to spend, and the same
is to be said of the materials now al
most impossible to get. But whatever the
material or whatever the design, there
should always be aTi attempt to follow
the same idea in the separata rooms, not
mixing the modern styles with the antique
of the beauty of the latter Is lost and
their effect dissipated. Manufacturers pro
vide everything In "suites" for tha va
rious rooms, and with the possibilities of
furniture making today there are some
ideas worked out that are marvels in
The Flescher 1907 Model Motorcycle

Tho Flescher 1907 Model. Price, $210.00.
The new Improvements for 1907 are Flescher Patent Spring Fork and Double

beauty when the sets are followed In their
entirety.
Mission furniture and "arts and crafts"
are as popular as anything on tiie mar
ket, and then whole sets are adhered to
In furnishing rooms a refined beauty Is
obtained which cannot be Improved upon
by adherence to the modes of the most
fastidious monarch.
To dcscrlbo any piece of furniture in
mere words without the aid of photographs
Is a nurd malter, but Omaha stores are
well provided with displays. Grand Rap
Ids, Mich, still retains its position as the
place from which good furniture comes and
the offerings of its many factories are suf
ficient for the home of the wealthiest. One
of the line products of that city Is a Louis
XVI chamber suite, containing beds, chairs,
dressers, commides and stands of Circas
sian walnut, and which Is a thing of sur
passing beauty. It is a fulthful countei
part of the French monarch's day, when
material was as plentiful as human beings.
To uttempt to give an idea of the appear
ance of this suite would be useless, and it
is merely mentioned because It Is one of
the offerings In latter-day furniture and
shows the "trend of the times" in furni
ture fashions. The days of the most gor
geously appointed castle are come again
and the sets are named from the ruler on
tha throne at tha period when the style
was in vogue.
Our own colonial days provide tbe manu
facturer of today with more ideas, how
ever, than the styles of the old world. An
tique furniture gathering is a craze with
some people, who are continually on the
watch for auction sales, when the goods
which have gone down from generation to
generation in some old but now extinct
family ara to be placed on sale, and in
many instances they are able to secure
old, apparently worthless, pieces at next
to nothing, ta have them sprlag Immedi
ately into high value. Such salea are fre
quent in some of the older towns where
once dwelt people of grand homes and re
fined tastes.
olid Woods are Scarce.
But real antiques are expensive on the
market, even if they can be secured at all.
In lieu of the real thing, however, the fac
tories produce counterparts which require
an expert to detect from the really old. Of
course, one is Just as good as the other, so
tax as usefulness Is concerned, or rather,
It ahould be sold, the new wftl outlast the
old for wear, but the connections are gone
and In all too many cases the material is
not honest that is, a veneer Is used where
the old piece was solid. Reliable deulera
make no misrepresentations regarding the
wood used and frankly admit veneer where
It is used, but the ordinary man cannot tell
the difference.
Mahogany Is one of the woods which
have become so scarce as to be almost
prohibitive In price. In fact, some manu
facturers make no pretense of putting out
solid mahogany goods, finding ready mar
ket for the veneered article. But to make
up for the disappearance of the hard woods
which make the most desirable furniture,
endeavors are directed along lines of pro
ducing something with the material at hand
which does equally as well as what the old
time makers used, and of Inventing new
articles of furniture with devices and
features to add greatly to convenience,
comfort and ease, never forgetting style or
beauty In the finish.
Combination for Men.
Among the things which have been placed
on the market to sell mora for usefulness
than for claims to ancient connections, and
which may be found in at least some of
tha Omaha furniture stores, is a com
bination gentleman's chiffonier -and ward
robe, in which the need of every man is
anticipated, having certain places within
easy reach for every article a man wears,
all within tha box lika structure. It has
clothes hangers, disappearing mirror, hat
box, drawers for handkerchiefs, cuffs, col
lars, buttons, scarf pins, gloves, socks,
underwear, shirts, shoes, slippers, ties, also
place for comb and brush, whisk broom,
cane, umbrella, etc. It will hold ten suits
of clothes, all being at the owner's flnge
ends. The outside appearance of this most
useful piece of furniture makes It a hand
some addition to any bed room, and is made
in any finish or color desired, of oak or
mahogany.
Such an article Is also built for the office,
but not so wide, tho row of drawers up and
down being unnecessary. It would add 60
per cent to the appearance of any office
nnd do as much for convenience and com
fort. .
Wrinkle In Tables.
Another Improvement upon home furni
ture In these days of cramped quarters Is
the banquet table with top, being a round
table provided with leaves to be placed on
top, extending the circumference of the
table to accommodate almost any ordinary
gathering. The lenves removed, a table for
sitting room or library purposes appears,
ready at any time to Increase its capacity.
All furniture is made principally In oak,
mahogany, Imitation mahogany, or maple,
and bird's-eye maple Is also used, but not
to the extent it has been lnrecent years.
This material, though pretty for bed room
seta, and dainty In appearance, has lost
much of Its hold because of a fault It has
of darkening after several years time, a
fault which cannot be remedied.
Bolted mission furniture enjoya a pop
ularity which It well deserves. All kinds of
pieces are put out of this style, from bed
steads to grandfather clocks and nothing
is more durable, handsome or useful than
the offerings of the factories of these
lines.
Kitchen Cabinets Improve.
The housewife has by no means been
neglected In the leflectlons of the busy in
ventor. To the contrary, he hss apparently
put( in much time finding ways in which
to lessen her- labors and beautify her work
room at the same time. Kitchen cabinets
are not exactly new with this season, but
more elaborate and more extensive in lt
uses. The efforts have been directed toward
providing a place for everything needed In
cooking In a compact, yet easily reached
case, and the latest Improvement In this
line Is a thing of beauty end one which
would be sidly missed after once used If
not retained In the kitchen. It stands as
hlah as s cupboard, some operlng with the
Inside of the doors utilized and eome with
out doors to open, and a polished zinc table
for kneidlng douah, nnd with more drawers
nnd compartments underneath.
Refrigerators that look well enough to
stand In the best room are also (immii
the latest productions, and their useful.
ness and cold-retalnlns; nualltles for wHch
thev are Intended, have been Increased ma
terially. Fasv housekeeping Is the obteot
of the manufacturers and they are fast
approaching the goal.

one which can add a remarkable amount

the purse has sufficient length to go be

ers. Germany, England, Japan and Amer

visit to a display room where the best
goods are kept is one likely to arouse the
envy of the visitors for the favored few
whose means allow them to provide them
selves with full sets of some of the goods.
As between the products of the foreign
countries mentioned there Is not any great
choice for beauty, though the work done
on the Japanese ware Is certainly more
artistic than that of any other. The
daintiest of cups, saucers, plates, bowls
and other dishes are hand-painted with
the most delicate of colors, representing
flowers, birds or plain shadings. There
are also the odd and distinctively oriental

There is a tendency on the part of manu
facturers to go back to the old-time styles
in shapes for dinner sots, as the furniture
men do In their lines. "Antiquity" is the
word, and the makers are ever ready to
supply the public taste. Green and gold
are the prevailing colors being used to
the greater.t extent on most wares and
among others Indian tree designs and dec
orations aro given fsvor. Japanese made
goods sell more easily than do tha Ger.
man.
As with chinaware, so It Is with gluss,
colonial styles are the mode and the only
thing wanted by the buyers who have
money to spend. Candlesticks of (.-lass, to
be placed one at each plate at the table,
as In olden times, are among the popular
Ideas.
iiaiiiuiriou urass jiiruinieres, rem jura

the popKnr fancies which has merit for
pretty effect.
Is the "Coalport" English china, which
lias one of its greatest claims to beauty
in its plainness and simplicity. The body
of the pieces Is of clear white and a plain
band of gold traces around the edges,
rather a wide band, giving It a stunning
appearance. A complete set of dinner
dishes of this ware present a very smart
"front-"
An exceedingly popular line and one
which is selling almost as fast as the de
mand can be supplied even In the west is
decorated In old Dutch onion blue for
brenkfast dishes, also made In Kngland.
Many of the plates mentioned are priced to
retail from 115 to $20 per plate and more,
and their beauty can be better realized
when this fact Is considered In estimating
the amount of work which must have been
required on the pieces.
A line that Is not exceeded" in popularity
by any other is one called the "Royal
Doulton." A large assortment of bowls,
for fruit and such things, and pitchers of
various sizes and shapes for suspending
on the wall by a brass chain from the
picture molding. These have the finest
of decorations. The line is also extended
to dinner sets, but special attention Is
given by Its manufacturers to display and
decorating vessels. In the east the demand
for expensive plates for the walls Is
greater than can be supplied, the custom
being on the return, thounh more time Is
required In Omaha. The plate rack, how
ever, Is not resumed.
In Ilavlland chinas the offerings ara
varied and the demand Is as great as ever.
