We have a large number of reproductions of old Franklin stoves, also a few original pieces.
Franklin stoves are desirable for their quaint appearance; because they give more heat, and because they have better draft than the usual open fire.
Catalogue of Franklin stoves, also separate catalogues of wood and marble mantels, andirons, screens and other fireplace furnishings, will be forwarded on application.

By ELIZABETH LOLINSBERY NATURAL stick rattan furniture,
that finds a timely application in the sun room, penthouse and the
Southern home, at this season, has taken on even more alluringly comfortable lines in the new de
signs made by the Mastercraft Reed Corp. for the retail shops and decorators.
As a popular medium, the heavy stick rattan is préémi
nent, not only because of its wearing qualities when expos
ed to the weather, but because of its smartness when banded witn alternating, colored en
ameled cane. YVith this, the cushions may be of waterproof glazed chintz in a colorful pat
tern or of heavy solid toned linen, piped in contrast. One model, an armchair with broad arms, shows a plain seat cush
ion and figured back cushion in blue and orange, a combination of upholstery that is growing in favor.
Other popular types are the wheeled chaise longue and the deep seated armchair with a
detachable foot rest. An attractive three piece set, compris
ing a settee and two chairs of Chippendale design, in stick reed, is painted entirely in red and there are those in rainbow cane, woven in a small star shaped pat
tern, in natural, green, black or red. For out-of-doors use, the single stick rattan armchairs with form fitting seat and back, intended to be used without cushions, are ex
ceptionally comfortable. For the Southern beach there are hooded chairs and the sand seats without legs, with folding backs. The rat
tan framed folding chairs with gay colored canvas backs, seats and canopies are equally desirable for
the penthouse terrace or lawn. INTERIOR decoration as inter
preted in period treatments favoring the French and English is
exemplified in the attractive studio of Valeria O’Connor, in a group of fine pieces - notably, an Empire chaise longue; a carved oak chest with massive brass bindings and lock, and two XVIIIth century English mahogany corner cabinets, filled with rare pieces of china.
In a recently completed apartment, Miss O’Connor has carried out a bedroom in cream, blue and mauve. Here, she has used powder blue and cream in the taffeta cur
tains, the covering of the dressing table and bed draperies and as a background for the single bed, that is placed parallel to the wall, a large decorative, painted flower panel in which these same pastel colorings
appear. The mauve note is repeated in the chair cov
erings and in a deeper toned carpet, completing a most intriguing and irresistibly feminine setting.
MODERN decorative ac
cessories such as unusual glass, some by Maurice Heaton; copper, aluminum and pewter bever
age sets and distinctive bookends, lamps and smok
ing articles are shown at the S.P.R. Galleries, many of them designed by the seven architects who represent these galleries.
There is also occasional furniture, notably, a private bar of American wal
Book and plant stand in mahogany or walnut, designed after XVIIIth century cutlery table. Courtesy Valeria O’Connor, 64 E. 55th St., N. Y. C.
