New York, Jan. C. Every Yiddish artists' and decor'itor in New York is kept busy these days turning out "genuine real old antique Chinese lacquer" tables, chairs, mirror frames, disks, cabinets, bedsteads, and what not (not whatnots, however). To be sure there are a great many tiue Chinese pieces also, for the astute j C hinamen, taking advantage of the forced stoppage of imports from bel I gerent countries, have simply swamped our market with the glories ol their arts, consequently Chinese 1; "quers and embroideries are to be i. el with at every turn for the better or turn to the right. But with such avidity have the American lovers of the beautiful gob 1 led uf the wares from China that the Clunks can fill only a few chinks of the popular demand. Hence the abundance of homegrown or Ilebrnic i lacquers that defy detection even when I laced alongside an original After al' they too are redolent of the cast even if it is only the Eust aide. The most popular lacquer is in the gold or black or red but gold on old Hue or a soft grey green is also very effective. Whole rooms are lovely dene in lacquer and especially bed rooms and diningrooms with Chinese rugs and Chinese em l.ioideries to carry out the Oriental a'mosphere. Lacquer floor lamps are beautiful with pagoda shaped shades of silk and the lacquer mirrors begg r inscription. Certainly anyone holding the mirror up to nature ought to be sure it is a lacquer one. Set a serene and wise eyed Buddha on the lacquer stand and back him up with a Chinese mirror on the wall and you have an artistic touch in your living room that is hard to beat this s'rle of the Chinese wall. There are lacquer candle sticks and l.-equer trays, after seeing which you wil' exclaim "the Deuce take all other iTys". There are lacquer screens to f.:reen fires and boudoir secrts and l.;s oiler picture frames fittingly benu ti." I to encase Him or ILr. When it conies to boxes this is "Aliere lacquer really shines, especial ly when it is built to enshine differ M.t sorts of shoe polish or my lady's jewels. For holding things that go up in smoke like coal, wood, cigaret tes, cigars or love letters lacquer I exes are aluring in all shapes and sizes. From the head to the foot of the box class, hat boxes and shoe bt xes of lacquer sell with alacrity. Work boxes, candy boxes and powd tr boxes are so lovely of lacquer that even Pandora herself would have beei so entranced with their external beau ties that she never would have yearned to sec what was inside. Even Vidro- li s are all dressed up in black and i . old or red and gold lacquer cases i.ntil they have become veritable Chi- rese music boxes with every thing ex-1 cpt, thank Heavens, the music, Chi nese. And right here it is only meet to announce that the lid is surely off when it comes to enndv boxes. It ' used to be that the humble box of , I'listebonrd was an adequate recen- ti.clc for sweets to the sweet but not in 1917. Next to the lacquer candy box in popularity is the ornate box of brocade, gold lace and French rib 1 on flowers or the Chinese silk cov ered box, gay with varicolored beads ni d Chnese tassels. Cretonne Ikixcs are effective and the hand painted wood boxes of the Russian peasants show vivid bits of color that enhance the beauty of nestling chocolate bon bons to perfection. Hand painted tin boxes, round nnd long, short and tall, fat and thick, oblong and octagon came in all color schemes nnd designs nnd hnve the farther advantage of keeping the cn I'oscd sweetmeats fresh and moist. Such a box will keep them from the vnvagfs of time if not from the rav ages of females unhampered by sub- La Grande Elks' Band V REX HALL i Wednesday Night Jan. 10 Dancing From 9 to 1 serviancc to "Eat and Grow Thin.'' These tin boxes and also the more elaborate brocade and galloon covered cnes are cake boxes as well. You may not be able to eat your cake and have it but now you can eat your cake rnd have the box. This is decidedly worth while for these boxes certain ly are the dearest things. Oh these are the days withen a box for candy or cake costs quite as much as a box tor opera or theater, my dears. The Philosophy of Revolutions Morcly has somewhere said that simplification is the keynote of the Revformation. It pierced behind the artificial and conventional to the nat ural man and naturel life. But this is surely true of every healthy revolu tion: its movement is from the comb licnted to the single, from the tech nical to the vital, from the merely traditional to tho original springs. Its tendency is from pulsied ago to the little child. Crises continually arise which com pel us to get rid of exhausting en cumbrances. We have become over burdened with the multiplication of harness. It Is not always the ordinary load of life which crushes us; it is the increasingly heavy and complicated means which we ha'e devised to draw it. Our yoke is more galling than our burden; the hardness is more harass ing than the load. The complications increase with the years. Society be comes a steel network of hard, arti ficial bonds, instead of remaining an elastic fellowship. And so there is imperative need of crises and revolutions which will com pel us to seek a simplicntion of life and tlnought and feeling, nnd which Will make us turn again and become ns a little child. And mny not this be one of the deep secrets of the time through which we are passing? May not this divine simplicntion be one of its glorious issues? Things were be comng fearfully stiff and conventional. Now we are going to become more natural, which will mean more fra ternal, more generally accessible to one another. Rev. J. 11.
