A quaint bamboo basket of deep, lustrous brown gives
so effective a touch to an artistic room that we feel these
articles of Oriental handicraft deserve to be better known.
Perhaps the chief triumph of Japanese basket weaving
is in the flower and fruit baskets, but there are also attrac-
tive models for ferneries, jardinieres, and for so many-
other things that for one of them a fitting place always
may be found.
Formerly to make a beautiful basket it was customary
to take old bamboo used in the construction of Japanese
houses, where age and smoke had turned it a peculiarly
rich brown. More recently, however, a dye has been
found which gives this rich and unchangeable tint, thus
making low prices possible. They range from 75 cents
for a waste basket to $7.50 for a large flower basket.
Ferneries $1.25 up. Fruit baskets $1.00 up.
CHINESE RATTAN CHAIRS
Canton rattan chairs cannot be ex¬
celled from an economical standpoint.
They are equally appropriate for the liv¬
ing room, bedroom or porch, and may be
obtained in numerous styles. The most
popular model is the hour-glass broad¬
arm chair, selling at $5.00, $6.00 and
$7.00. The settees sell at $12.50 and
up, reclining chairs at $13.50 and up.
Another unique Vantine product is
thatch roofing for small summer houses.
This sheds water and adds appreciably
to the charm and decorative value of
these small buildings. It is sold by the
piece in 4, 6, 8 and 10 ft. lengths at 25
cents a running foot. No- is—ss.oo
Other objects of Oriental art for decorative use include Japanese paper
lanterns as low as 5 cents and up to $5.00 for the enormous ones. Umbrel-
las, 30 inches to 16 feet—3 ft. size, 50 cents ; other sizes in proportion.
Jardinieresand umbrella stands in bronze and porcelain combine a practical
value with their artistic features.
While a personal visit is, of course, cordially urged for those customers
who cannot come to the store our mail-order department will fill orders care-
fully, or will gladly give you the benefit of its expert advice if you will write
us your particular requirements. . ,,

There are usually one or two rooms which can be most effectively lighted
indirectly from lamps behind the cornice; or a decorative frieze may be used
calling for special lighting. No one has been more successful, no one can re-

LIGHTING FROM CONCEALED LAMPS

The print department of the New
York Public Library has arranged one
more exhibition in the gallery of the old
Lenox Library building, one of “Paris in
Etching.” Paris has ever had a strong at-
traction for the etcher, and there was mate-
rial in plenty in the Library’s portfolios,
particularly in those of the Avery collec-
tion, from which to choose.
In this chorus “in praise of Paris,”
Meryon has a solo part, so to speak—occu-
pies the place of honor. The pictures
which this poor, mad genius drew of Paris,
before the leveling activity of Baron Hauss-
mann, stand by themselves apart from and
above all else in the show. His views of
streets and buildings are enveloped in a
mystery from which speak generations of
those who have lived and suffered and died
there. A different Paris, seen with a differ-
ent temperament, is presented by Felix
Buhot, an artist of a receptive eye and a
characteristically French verve and humor,
and a master of technique. Also an ex-
perimenter withmethods is Henri Guerard,
and yet another in this group of able French
etchers is Bracquemond, who found in the
Bois de Boulogne all he needed in the way
of a bleak winter background for his wolf
slinking through the snow. Those who,
like Buhot, note the combination of human
and local interest are Leopold Flameng,
Lepere (one of whose woodcuts in colors is
also shown here), T. Frantisek Simon (the
Bohemian living in Paris), whose etchings
are in color, Raffaelli and the American,
Lester G. Hornby. In their plates the
Parisian is shown at work and at play, on
the boulevards and in less pleasant quar-
ters. Rochebrune, Pequegnot, Delauney,
Brunet-Debaines, Toussaint, Jacquemart,
H. H. Osgood, E. L. Warner and the prolific
A. P. Martial bring us again to architectural
subjects, but treated usually with an eye to
architectural effect rather than to that
deeper significance that Meryon knew how
to extract. And in further contrast there is
a sixteenth-century view of the Pont Neuf
by Callot. Lalanne’s facile pencil found
much material in Paris, including the city’s
aspect during the siege of 1870-1871.
This war time period is pictured also by
Martial and Bracquemond, the latter
catching certain patriotic statues in snow
before they melted. Eugene Bejot, F.
Laing, F. Slocombe and others add their
notes of interest.
The whole exhibit amounts to a delight-
ful ramble through the highways and by-
ways of the great city, under the guidance
of those who best know its points of beauty
and interest.
