TILT-TOP TABLES
In keeping with the general tendency to press into service grandmother’s cast-off furniture, tilt-top tables are becoming increasingly popu-
lar. Not to put tilings on—merely to stand ag>ainst tlie wall as a decoration. For that reason most of these oldworld pieces are beautifully painted by hand. This table has a “pie-crust” edge in black and gold. The rose design is a transfer, or decalcomania, >as it is often technically called.
Brickwork is coming once again into its kingdom, whence it was like to be of substitutes during recent years,* observes an English technical journal. The Royal Institute of British Architects, which is such a live body in these days, has received from its Science Standing Committee a report instituting comparisons between the building value of bricks, and other materials, and in no single instance, apparently, does the first-mentioned take second place. We are not, however, prepared to regard the question as altogether proved, and the probability is that there is room for the use of the various classes of materials with success, provided that both quality and workmanship are satisfactory.
