Wooden Bedsteads Return to Favor.

Wooden bedsteads are coming into
fashion again, not only in this country,
metal bedsteads was imported. Aside
from the love Of change which has its
effect in causing many housekeepers to
revert to the wooden bed, the advance in
the price of brass is partially responsible
for this revival. Then many persons like
to have sets of furniture and can match
things up better with wooden bed than
with one of iron or brass.
Most people wha have welcomed the
simplicity and cleanliness of the metal
beds will be loath to give them up or to
believe that anyone will, but the fact re-
mains that dealers are selling five or six
times as many weoden beds as they did
