GARDEN FURNITURE

CUPID'S SUNDIAL

BY THOMAS SHIELDS CLARKE

LAMP METAL AND GLASS
La.mps suited to specialiy designed rooms often
prove a wise choice as the season's token to a
friend. The character of the room in which they
will be used should be well in mind in making the
seiection. Simple iamps htted to furnishings of like
styie may be selected for fiving-room or library, and
shaded candles or smalf lamp effects for the dining-
table are oSered, as well as those suited to the ex-
quisite formafity of the Louis XV decorations. The
prices asked, particularly for the simpler styles, are
by no means prohibitive even to the modest purse,


and the hne workmanship these show in metal and
glass, as well as the beauty of contrasting color, will
prove a lasting pleasure to the owner

For the friend who is interested in his garden or
patio, the beautiful stand would be particularly
suitable. The piece shown in the illustration is of
antique design.

The charm of design and workmanship evinced
in the exquisite bronze sundial, the work of Thomas
Shields Clarke, sculptor, is but faintly conveyed in
the illustration below. The composition is ex-
tremely interesting and unusual. The globe rests
lightly on the butterfly wings as Cupid in a pensive
rnood notes the flight of the hours.
