 rocker, "what baby you are, to be sure. But you came here right from the factory, didn't you? Do you mean to say you have never looked in the window here? A room is a place in side of house, sometimes as small al this piazza, sometimes smaller or lar ger. surrounded by four walls, with windows and doors cut through. And it is always warm like summer in q room, with soft carpet on the floor something like the grass, and some times a fine cracking fire in the chim. ney corner"
 Like they make on the lawn with twigs and dead leaves?" asked the lit tie rocker. 70, how lovely! I'd give anything to live in a room"
 "Perhaps you will some day." said the old settee. ''rhe only trouble ia that you feel the cold so when you are out again. We'll, as I was saying, the doctors office is big room, with a little waiting room off of it. went right to the waiting room from the factory. and stayed there for long time. was used by all sorts of people, and sometimes one would lie down upon me and take nap"
 "Humph!" remarked the cane-seated chair. II shouldn't Think you would make a very comfort able bed"
 ''I was cushioned with green cordu- roy" said the settee, proudly, land I was considered very handsome in those days. Finally the doctor, who was then only about 26-it was IS years ago-moved me into his office, which is the room where he keeps all his medi- cine and instruments"
 "He set his instrument case on me one day last week." said the litCr rocker proudly; but it made me feel almost faint. l remember my rockers had to be cut off with an instrument called saw, after I was painted, for the man who made me made them tot long. It was dreadful!"
