Little ornamentation but novel new shapes distinguished most of the tableâ€" ware. Lines were flowing rather than geometric, but the tendency seemed to be more toward thicker more bluntly shaped knives and forks. Combinations of silver with other materials suggestâ€" ed a new means of decorative design in this mediumâ€"silver with thin gold borâ€" ders and inlays, silver with handles of wood, silver with handles of ivory, silver with lapis lazuli. The Directoire modern â€" again preâ€" sented a contemporary version of Naâ€" poleonic decoration, which because of its rather severe military line adapts itself interestingly to modernization. However here again there was nothing startlingly different from ‘ the . type of thing that has been done in this country. The functional modernâ€"which in the Paris Exposition found fresh impetus mainly in combinations of new materiâ€" als rather than in anything so much more exciting or new than we have had in this field from American deâ€" signers. something very smart indeed, but for the most part it will be for people who can indulge in decorative whims. Graâ€" dually, however, we may expect adaptaâ€" tions of this impulse to be seen in inâ€" cidental pieces of furniture, in accessorâ€" ies and in the timbre of certain rooms, much as the Victorian note is recreated today, not in detail so much as in mood. In furiture,â€" the trends crystalized themselves into four main categories, all more or less modern interpretations of designs that we have inherited from the near or distant past. These four categories are: t Decorative Whims The baroque modern, based on the ornate scroll forms that were often executed in plaster. A simplification of these lines applied to furniture achieves hasn‘t subsided yet. Whether this year‘s exposition will be such a tempest in our teacups remains to be seen, but in the meantime, it‘s a good idea to know what‘s been shown there so we‘ll know what it‘s all about when we hear the chatter it‘s bound to cause. We don‘t deny that we like to read what the Duchess of Windsor has been buying in Paris. Mainly because her choice will no doubt influence what the rest of use will be wearing later on. For the same reason the homeâ€"makâ€" ing world is interested in what the Paris Exposition has brought out this season in plates and forks, furniture and fabrics. These will have definite effect on fashions in decoration, just as did the innovations introduced at the previous Paris Exposition in 1925 when most of what we row called modâ€" ern in home furnishings was presented to an amazed world. In short, the furore created there tweive years ago hasn‘t subsided yet. Whether this year‘s exposition will be siuth a temnact Trends Exhibited in the Paris International Exposition Often Have Significant Inâ€" fluence on Home Furnishings in Americaâ€"The High Points Observed in the Displays on Furniture, China, Silver, Fabrics and Rugs.. Here is one of the table settings exhibited at the Paris Exposition, the place where fashions in home furnishâ€" ings are introduced. The plates with their blue and gold designs have interesting gold forks and spoons to go with them, and the tablecloth in blue and gold on white has been made to repeat the motif of the plates.

Colours emphasized in the new glass were pale blue. a new blueâ€"green sienna and burgundy. Noted also were the square based stemware. There still is very little design in modern glass but much interest in â€"classic‘simplicity of shape. Mostly clear, but sometimes in bubble, smoked and veined textures and sometimes in a molten effect which is new unusual and hl~.elv to made its imprint on glass fashions. primitive motifs, bronzeâ€"green colourâ€" ings in pcrcelains. Summed up, we fird that the importance of gold and white is leading, that mottled textures are going to be seen a lot, that dull toned neutrals will have their day.

To quote Pinance Minister C. A. Dunning. ‘"For the last two years the department has been enâ€" deavoring to stimulate the construcâ€" tion of lowâ€"cost houses to encourage improvements in the quality and soundness of construction of stuch houses and to secure economies which would reduce the cost to the lowest practicable minimum."

A low rate of interest is essential. The cost of construction could be reduced by a method of mass production as compared with individual building, but it is doubtful whether this would be accepta‘ble to the Federal Government, which has invited archiâ€" tects to submit designs for low cost houses. Not less than five and not There are several methods by which schemes for low cost houses may be financed.

And its waters sing of the northland As they tumble towards the sea, A silver song in notes of foam Of the lone land, vast and free. With its unshorn miles of pine land, Its mineral treasures rare; Of prosperous homes and axeman‘s might To shear its valley bare.
