PI · 'IIIIIMI,.: Gfte y· t t0 R ·~ · Better ·H omes Ask for English, French Antique Harmonies The better homes are turning to English and French antiques ' rather than the Early American antiques, according to John Odh of Hubbard Woods who is a dealer in antiques. The Early American furniture is not as comfortable as the antiques of other countries. . The owners ol'"French and English style houses want their furniture to match their homes. To this end many o"f them buy the original antiques or copies. Many of them have furniture remodeled and reconditioned before attempting to use it. Again, one of an original pair of tables or one of a set of dining room chairs is purchased and copies are made to finish out the set. In furnishing the homes most of the buyers stick to one period and do not commit the error of badly mixing styles and periods of furniture. There is not as much faking in American antiques as there is in the French and Italian antiques, according to Mr. Odh. Much of the antique furniture sold to tourists is partly or wholely fake. A good part of it is fine reproduction, but in the copying of the design original ideas of the copyist creep into his work, an unsuccessful job of laying on the antique finish, or some other detail will show that it is not a real antique. The workmanship on furniture which is reproduced is usually not as fine as on the original antique. The carving will not be as clear cut, the lumber will not be seasoned properly, the construction will not be correct, and nails instead of wooden pegs will appear in some suppos~d "antiques."

The pillow is a definite note, or a whole scale of notes, in a room. Pillows are with us a&:ain. Strangely enough the moderni3tic room has pillows in it.

Taken in all they are. interesting but give the ne~dle worker no chance to display her ability. .In other circumstances, the pillow has become a floor decoration instead of a -comfortable bolster. The floor oi11ow is quite a gorgeou3 affair, usually in taffeta, with long .ends and hand made flowers decorating them.

Quilte_ d Pillow Is Vogue The quilted pillow is in vogue at' the present. The ordinary quilted pillow is made with a fine running stitch. The -Italian quilting is made hy running a cord between parallel line .-, of fine · stitches. This gives a slightly raised lin.~ bringing out the desig-n in relief. The tapestry pillow is a n1ore durable raffair which the man of the house will not be afraid to touch . Some beautiful designs are made in tapestry by the expert needlewoman . The design is not as difficult to " ·ork as the coloring, however. Hand Work Is Seen Crewel work ha·s· come in style again for the pillow as has the hand painting in the Japanese motif. Some of the taffeta pillows have applique designs on the!ll and pillows for the cottage are often made of patch work. For the porch, although it is at the end of the porch season, felt pillows are made of felt flowers sf'wn flat to the pillow, while some 01 them have b~en pasted flat with vegetable glue. Three kinds of backgrounds are used for the felt design, oil cloth, sateen, and a contrasting color of felt. The oil cloth i3 hard to work with, but is most attractive for a swing and open porch.
