Said the porcelain dog to the china cat, As they sat ensconced on the crochet mat; . "It's great to be back from . the an tiquary." " Said the China cut to the don: "Oh very." New York, June 30. The answer to what next, my dears.,is whatnot. Now what do you think of that? Nothing more nor less than the old fashioned whatnot is what we may expect if the craze for Victorian modes extends from our clothes to our homes at the rate it is spreading. At the moment of goingto press we have with us in the midst of our smartest homes to day all the wherewithal to dock that atroicity of oldfashioned taste, the whatnot, so why not go the limit and drag it down from the garret, dust off its shelves and set it up in the chosen corner. Truly the procclain dog and the china cat, the glass flow ers and the framed sampler can never feel at home outside a whatnot en vironment. Indeed it isj only fitting that we should have a proper setting for our hoopskirts and scollops, our fichues and bell sleeves, our shoulder capes and poke bonnets; hence un doubtedly the irevival of the. smirking porcelain poodle door-stops, the green and yellow china parrots swaying in gilded hoops, the worsted embroidered firescreens and footrests that now in fest the truly modern and artistic hearth and home. The crocheted and braided rag rugs are on all our smartest floors, lying in wait for the voluminous silken skirts of the good old days to brail over them. But alas! no silken skirts can touch them now in these the days of highwater ballet effects. Daguerreotypes of Grandpa as a soldier and Grandma as a bride adorn the mantlepieee, sharing the honors with an urn-shaped potpourri jar of purple glass. Our smartest bil letdoux are penned with gny-hued quills that rest as in days of yore in little painted glass jars half filled with gleaming shot. On rush bot tomed chairs we rest(?) whose high straight backs are festive with paint ed garlands n their painted cross pieces. The castor and the urn-i shaped knife and fork cases reign on our antique Sheriton buffets. Majol ica fruit baskets, soup tureens and colored glass cake stands have broken in on our smartest tables and are be ing broken in our smartest kitchens. Above stairs we spurn elwtric lights and girope our divers ways to bed with bayberry candles in pewter can Hie sticks enuinned with quaint and ancient snuffers. Crawling under the rose of Sharon patchwork quilt we full to sleep to dream that we may yet be overtaken by a visitation of gilded pine cones, gilded irolling pins, gilded ginger beer jugs stuffed melon pin cushions, oastles-in-the-air and wax wreaths under glass for all the world like mushrooms"sous cloche" only not so gastronmically edifying. No doubt we's awake screaming and jump from bed only to stumble ovor the porcelain poodle and the china cat. "Chicken Joe" Campbell Sentenced .Toilet, 111., June 30.
