■TfeNew:Art6fFflrnishtag- : The art of furnishing n home with tasteful simplicity is one with which the com. : munity as a whole has only lately become acquainted, and it is- wonderful how •r quickly knowledge of thnt art is spreadTime, was, and not' very long apto, when people of moans cheerfully invested in din- . ingroom suites covered with horsehair, and drawingi-ocm furniture gaudy with plush and gilt. . Now all that has changed, and, though relics of those days still survive, ' -for that sort of furniture is solid and dies hard, we should have to look far to find ' a home where such ugliness was a matter / of choice. - ': The prevalence of artistic furniture docs ; not imply extravagant or even increased .*. expenditure. It if quite as cheap to mako simple, beautiful lines as to make orn'ato and massive curves,- and, now that New ' Aciifand manufacturers are able to. turn out such.excellent work :i.s is seen in their shops, tho cost of freight and duty is deducted, and the buyers have the added advantage of being able to have their furniture made to suit themselves. Perhaps few people yet realise what excellent work is done in our factories, or how well it compares with expensive imported productions. We have in our showroom now furniture m;ide in our own "Wellington factory that equals in beauty and durability articles in a similar style that wo\havo imported, and our's is very much lower in price. Here, for instance, ' is a quartcrcil-cak'Sideboard of English manufacture, a handsome niece of furni- • tiirc, and plain to the point of severity. ; The cost of this is . . -£54 10s. : '..Near.by is a Sideboard maiic at our own factory, plain in outline and liandsomo, '■ with bevelled mirror, and. simple but suitable ornamentation, as fine a piece of ■ diningrooin furniture as ono could wish We can turn this tut at £42 10s. , '< BEDROOM FURNITURE. ■ In Bedroom Furniture, the most fashion- i able style at present is figured oak br Sheraton in rosewood, inlaid with tulip '■ wood. . ■.. . . . !
