table linen and silver service, she said,
were all very fine. She said she was very
critical about that. OF Mrs. Ways ward

rich woman would have. Beautiful dresses.

"It struck me as a most DELIGHTFULLY."-
furnished country home" Mrs. McAlpin
said. 1T did not, of course, compare with
a city home, as there they have more APP
pointments, but they were handsome all
the way through. And the little room that
led out to the door was very nicely fur
nshed. The four rooms, though, were
all furnished in the same style. The front
room looked like antique oak; it impressed
me not as being an oak set, but a very
handsome set"
