NEW YORK HOMES AND SHOPS SAID TO PREFER ENGHTEENTH CENTURY STYLES Numerous Displays of Bronzes in Conservative Studios Lead to Belief That Demand for Exceptionally Decorative Art Is Steadily Increasing Articles From Candlestick Pieces of Statuary Represented. gian style, has plain sage-green paneled walls. One side of the room has a balanced treatment of sofa and end tables, with arm chairs fac ing each other at either side. Bal anced bookshelves 'are set into the paneled walls, end an old mirror Is used for a middle decoration. Above the black marble mantle an old por trait is hung. A black lacquered screen furnishes a highly decorative note in a corner of the room. Chairs and sofa are covered with glased chintz of rose pattern. Rose damask is used for tho window hangings, and a pout is upholstered in the same material. Typically colonial is the living room illustrated today. The floor is painted deep taupe, the woodwork French gray, and the walls ecru. Particularly gracefuland satisfac tory is the Sheraton sofa, which is upholstered in Delft blue. The Windsor chair and Duncan Phyffe card table manifest the fineness of line which makes these types of fur niture desirable in the living room. Ha-nd-blocked linen, matching the draperies, upholsters the wing chair. The background is light ecru, and the figures are in old rose, old gold and peacock green. Over the mantel hangs a mirror in an old gilt frame. Distinctly colonial are the brass candlesticks, with their shades of frosted glass and prisms. A silk shade, which matches the rose color in the linen, finishes the old brass table lamp. There are not many shaped va lances In "vogue at present. This is especially true in Georgian interiors. Sheer, straight valances of delicate proportion have caught the artistic fancy. In many instances curtains are gathered on to rods with a French heading, and valances are omitted. In an interesting dining room which I saw a few days ago an ex tension drop-leaf table Is placed at one end of the room, in front of a set of six sunny windows which look out upon a gorgeous garden. There i a curtain of chintz in gay colors, at each of the end windows. A nar row, ruffled valance, on a separate r6d, runs the full length of the set, carrying the,-colors across from one curtain to the other. In order that the view of the garden be not ob structed, the other four windows are left uncurtained. At the other end Of the room there is an extremely wide stone fireplace. Filling the re maining; wall space a't each side 's n window, which has narrow, stratum hanging curtains and a vai-ini-' of chintz. Sand plaster Is used a? a wall finish, and the oodwjrU Is stained walnut. Cunning little chintz pads are fastened to tiie seats of the Windsor chairs. SMOKED FINNAN HADDIE ONE OF MOST SATISFACTORY FISH Portland Housewives Usually Care Nothing for Cured Product Because They Are Unfamiliar With Methods of Cookery. BY ANITA DE CAMP1. GLIMPSES into New Tork homes and shops reveal a preference fbr eighteenth century Styles. Numerous displays Of bronzes IS conservative studios lead us to as sume that the demand for this ex ceptionally decorative art medium is steadily Increasing. All sorts of articles, from the simplest candle slick to elaborate pieces of graceful statuary, art represented. In a living; room recently com pleted by one of our well-versed decorators touches of bronze add a note of distinction. The room Is fur nished in Italian renaissance style, with eaenstone walls. A davenport faces an open fireplace, the ex Qulsllely wrought accessories Of h:c!i are bronze. At each end of the long davenport table there is an antique bronze candelabrum. The hnsex of this pair are so shaped that thty may serve as book ends. In the center of the table there is a heavy bronze censer. Before a window, at One end of the room, a tripod, replete with the (harm of peculiar bronze objects. Supports a clear crystal goldfish bowl, which catches and radiates the sunlight. In the recess afforded by a triple window, opposite the door which leads Into the room, the fine outline of a statue Af young Diana, on a well-proportioned pedes tal, is silhouetted against the sky, Other touches of bronze are added by means of hinges and hardware of the double door.- rucriminating New Torkers are manifesting also a great desire for wrought iron incidentals. It is really little wonder, for our Ameri can artisans in metal are rendering articles so exquisitely wrought that we canont fail to acknowledge and applaud their wonderful mastery. Consoles, lamps, mirror frames, and tables are among the pieces which find the greatest favor. A smalt iron console, with a thick, black glass top, graces the narrow wall space of the hallway in a luxuriously-furnished apartment Above this console hangs a mirror in a frame of Iron, with details decorated in polychrome. The advent of the better taste has demonstrated that the various rooms in homes are hot intended for mu seums or art galleries. A more careful and studied selection has re sulted from the awakening to the fact' that it is hot 6nly pictures nr paintings thermeives that must be taken into consideration, but also the surroundings In which they are to be placed. "Tes, it is a very beautiful p a i n t I n g." prospective buyers remonstrate with persistent salesmen, "but it would lack deco rative value, as far as my living room is concerned. It is very lovely, but it is not for me." Colonial f rniture, it seems, Is most popular. We base this asser tion upon our observation .of the re markable decorative schemes that have been offered lately by eastern firms. In conjunction with this style of 'furniture, wonderful old ship models are being shown along Fifth avenue. These are especially dignified when placed above a man tel, or when framed In a wide, short window, high in the wall. Picturesque, gayly-coiored hooked rugs, whose origin dates back to revolutionary days, come In for their proper share of admiration. The at mosphere ' of qualntness given by these and other fascinating acces sories of colonial interiors -are al most sure to determine any one's mind in favor of furnishing his home In l!th Century style. Scenic wall papers, so widely used by well-to-do colonists, are greatly in demand, in consequence of the popularity of colonial furniture. It ts true that decorative needs are minimized where walls are hung with an attractive scenic paper. Other interesting old-fashioned pa pers are those which show all-over foliage Or floral patterns; plain Stripes, or those which are combined with nosegays, spaced regularly ; and those which have a quaint little geometric pattern in white, on a light-colored ground. Color - toned effects are also in vogue. Block-printed mohair pile fabrics are among the best sellers this sea son. Chintzes and printed linens, too. have endeared themselves to al most every one. Quantities of these ari used in rooms with unfigured wall surfaces. A l'brary, furnished in the Geor- BT EVELENE SPENCER. i Fish Cookery Expert, United States Bureau of Fisheries and Author "Fish Cookery." THE curing of haddock by smok ing originated about the middle of the 18th century at Findon, Scotland, the cured product being known in the English markets as "Findon Haddie," which later was modified into "Finnan Haddie." Orig inally the fish Was salted and dried nnd aterWt'rd soaked and placed over a smouldering fire of dried peat, In th large, open fireplaces !n the homes of the curers, but the demand soon compelled the erection f special buildings for the purpose. Formerly they were sold by the dozen md consequently only the small tlsh were smoked, but at present ihe sales are made by weight aiid :addocks of all sizes are used. The season begins in October and lasts until the following April. ' Win n smoked and thoroughly cooled the fish are packed in boxes containing from 20 to 400 pounds each -and shipped to the-trade, usu ally by txpress. During the warm weatlK-r tney will keep only a few any?, but if the weather Is cool tnty will, under ordinary conditions, keep Horn ten days to two or even three weeks. If it is desirable to Keep ttem longer they must be smoked much harder. The choicest haddie are tender and the inside is ttt a light yellowish-brown, or straw colt-r. In some sections of the country, where it brings a comparatively hign price, the housewife should roinember that she is only paying f-.T cured fish which has lost the water it contained when fresh, and eo brings the price down consider i'tty. In Portland it is not so ex pensive, after all, at from 25 cents to 35 cents a pound, for every scrap of it Inay be turned to acooun, even the rkin and bones simmered in water may serve as a flavoring to otlier fish dishes. In making any of the following dishes from the left-over portions of the ttnr.an haddie, any white fish, preferably of the dry-meated vari ety, such as rockfish (locally called red Snapper), ling ccra halibut, etc., may be added to the proportion of half and half, and the dish will have the pleasant finnan hadie flavor and contain the same nourishment Left over steamed or boiled fish is the best tc add. I lenali the incident of a cafeteria niaiiagtr who attended a demon stration in Chicago where 1 was suggesting uses for left-over por tions of finnan haddie, combined with cheaper fish, half and half and then served a dish of the same which I had made that day. Later on, I learned that this man had adopted the suggestions and was dally serv ing creamed and escalloped dishes made from a combination of finnan haddie and frozen grouper, a fish which happened to be very plenti ful ther at that time. One of our party went to lunch there one day to taste the dish, only to find it was "out," navihg proved eo popular they were not able to supply the demand. Being mixed with a cheap fish, the management could sell it at a reasonable figure and the savory finnan haddie flavor was sufficient to permeate the whole dish. I have been astonished when us ing finnan hadd'8. at demonstrations to learn how many persons never have used this cured fish. There are few, though, Who have British an cestry, who do not prize the finnan haddie as a positive treat The fish dealers in-Portland tell me thai so many housewives do not Know what to do' with the fish, and so never purchase it, often asking the dealer how to cook it. He, if he is a foreigner from some country where they never have it, knows nothing about it9 use and can only shrug his shoulders when asked. There is a limit to what a fiah deal er knows about fish cookery and unless he is British that limit is reached in the finnan haddie. The first meal will be of the fish served whole. When the best por ions are used. The second dish is made from the lees desirable parts, freed from skin and bones, mixed with white sauce and any other White fish when there is not enous!- of the finnan haddie. The skin and bones may be covered with cold water, simmered until much reduced and of strong taste, then strained and kept to assist in seasoiiiue: other fish soups. When Lthere :3 no bacon on hand, a half- cup hi this finnan Baaaie liquor win impart that pleasant, smoky flavor so desired in clam and other fish Chowders. In this way every scrap f1 1 of the finnan haddie has been util ized, even to its salty, smoked savor for seasoning other fish dishes. In the good old days when butter and cream tverer cheap enough to be used by all abundantly, the Brit ish housewife and her descendants in this couhtry used them plenti fully in cooking finnan haddie. The proper mode was to "smother" It In butter or cream. The following recipes are pre pared with the present prlcea of butter and cream strictly in mind. Where the cost is no consideration, they may be substituted in these recipes for oil and canned milk. .,: Quickly prepared finnan haddie served whole Two or three-pound finan haddie, canned milk. . First wash off the fish and out off the tall, then place it in a bak ing pan and almost cover it with boiling water, allowing it to stand On the back of the stove for 10 minutes. This further cleanses it, softens it and freshens it suffici ently. Pour off the hot water, oil a baking pan, place the haddie In it and cover it over with undiluted canned milk. Place in the oven long enough to heat- through, at least 10 minutes, then remove to a platter arid serve. It Is very palatable eaten without any further sauce. For those desiring it richer, melted butter or thin white sauce may be served. If only the best portions are Used, the inferior pieces may be utilized in any of the fol lowing dishes: , Creamed finnan- haddie-One cup of flaked finnan haddie, free from skin and bones; two cupa of milk or part milk diluted with fish stock; one-fourth cup of oil, butter or substitute; five tablespoons Flour, two teaspon lemons juice, Heat the liquid. In another sauce pan heat the oil or butter and stir in the flour, add the hot milk, whip ping it smooth with cook's whip. Add the finnan haddie and blend well together before seasoning with salt and pepper, as it may need further addition of salt. AuV the lemon juice and serve on toast or In individual ramekins. One cup of some other cooked white fish may be added and the recipe doubled. - - Finnan hadie chops Two cups of chopped fish, may be half eome other kind than .haddie; one-half cup of flour, one-third cup of oil, two cups liquid milk and fish stock, lemon juije, Wor cestershire sauce or onion Juice for sea soning, as preferred. Heat the liquid. In another sauce pan, heat-the oil, sift the flour, add the boiling; liquid, wisking until very smooth. Mix the chopped fisli with the thick white sauce and se- son, adding salt only after tasting mixture. Add any other seasonings nd put away in a cool place until it is stiff enough to mould into shapes like little loin lamb chops, using sifted bread crumbs to keep it from sticking. Place in oiled baking pan, side by side fthd brush over with oil. Bake for ten minutes or until browned. Garnish with sprigs of parsley and Serve with sauce tartare. m m A Portland woman, present at a demonstration where this dish was prepared, afterward told me of an experience which she had when serving the dish in her hohie. It seems that the man of the house recently .bAd all his teeth extracted, consequently his diet was limited to soft food. When he sat down to the table and a platter of these fish chops was set before him, he glanced at them, obviously an noyed the woman had taken great pains to shape them perfectly and testily exclaimed: "Lamb chops! Have I not told -you 1 cannot eat meat without teeth?" "Just taste them, they are net meat but fish. . I prepared them especially for you, with the fish well chopped, so they are nice and soft.'V She went on to say that he ate them and was well pleased With her efforts, complimenting her on her excellent camouflage of a loin lamb chop. This same mixture may be egged and crumbed and cooked as croquettes in a bath of deep fat.
