Chairs.
In the early period, the chairs were
massive objects of carved oak made
comfortable by down and feather cush-
ions gaily covered. The cushions were
very numerous in the rooms and an
almost innumerable variety of them
is noted in the inventories, covered
with leather, Turkey work, silk, serge,
brocade, tapestry and many other ma
terials; in many cases they were adorn
ed with needlework.
There eOseveral varities of chairs,
the commonest being the leather cane
and Turkey-work chairs. The low
leather" chairs were the ordinary square
model of to-day, about half of the
back being covered with leather, as
well as the seat. A square straining
rail connects the legs close to the floor,
and sometimes there is a wood bar
below the seat in front that is pierced
and carved in various patterns. The
leather is put on with large brass nails.
This style of chair is known as the
Cromwell" This chair is also made
larger for an arm chair, in which case
the side posts, ornamented with cary
ing, rise a little above the back, and
the arms and feet also terminate in
carved work. Other forms of chairs
have the side-posts turned and other
wise ornamented, and between them
Is inserted a back panel, the frame of
which is often richly carved and filled
in with cane, or otherwise upholstered.
The top-bar at the back and the bar
below the seat in front is also heavily
carved. there is also an easy chair of
this form made by the addition Of
arms and cushions. These are the
two characteristic chairs of the period.
The chair with the cane seat and
panelled back stands very much high

From above brief description il WIN
be noticed that the chief characters
tics of Jacobean ornament are the
scroll used in a variety of ways but
chiefly as a frame for the cane panell-
ing of the chair or settee; the panel
cut like a jewel in many facets? the
enormous use of theb evelled molding
and the black applied ornaments in
the shape of square nail heads, eggs,
and spindles. Turning to the leg of

ing point to study styles it is found
that the tables have massive acorns

umns, While the spindle Cor straining
rails) frequently supports the tables
and cases of drawers. The spiral leg
and the turned leg also appear for
the frame work of the table AS for the
chair, excepting the squat 'low leather
chair" it very nearly always has
high narrow back, containing a cane
panel framed in scroll work. It's legs
have projecting knees and scroll feet,
or the feet maybe nodded into the en-
bryonic claw known as the Spanish
foot" The top rail is often pierced
and carved, corresponding with the
foot rail. The backs and rears are
either of cane or rush, or are covered
with leather, velvet, Turkey work,
needlework tapestry or serge. In the
square Cromwell chair, already men
toned, the leather needlework or Tur-
key covering is fastened with enor-
nous brass headed nails (square OF

without festoOn or loops.

or in imitation of it Casually pear wood
stained black in the form of eggs and
spindles. These raised black orna-
ments on the light colored wood are
characteristic of the late Jacobean
period, and many examples are to be
found in New England.
The Chest.
An article of furniture that was
necessity, and, therefore, to be found
in the poorest household, was the chest
This may be found in all sizes, and in
the simplest form is an oblong wooden
box. Sometimes it stands on stout
square legs, grooved or carved, and
sometimes on carved feet or flattened
bulbs. 1t usually has a till for hold

times drawer with a. we'll above.
When very large, the drawers are fire.

The Room.
The walls of the richer houses were
panelled with oak and adorned with
tapestries. 1t would be difficult to
repeat this elegant fashion in simple
homes; but the walls might properly
be hung with a material of a solid
color, or painted. Pictures in ebony

DIR. Hopkins protested against al
lowing babies to be kissed and against
the common practice of kissing among
women. In no way can disease germs
be more readily communicated, he
said. In one case within his knowi-
edge a mother had her baby out in its
carriage one afternoon and met sew

which was directly traceable to one
of those kisses. A large proper ton of

the doctor, should be made more stlin-

The idea of giving up her freedom"
and being dependent on man for her
weekly or monthly supply of money
naturally does commend itself to the
young woman who for a year or two
has been experiencing the immense
satisfaction of earning a fair, income
and disposing of it as she sees fit. Per-
haps this is one of the reasons why
business and professional women grow
increasingly indisposed to matrimony.
1t sometimes happens that such wo-
mans affection overcomes this disincli-
nation and she marries a man whose
income is not sufficient for such free
qualification of personal wants as was
possible before marriage. In that case
husband and wife are lucky if they
escape regret for the days when a dol
lar was of less importance.
Should the business or professional
woman, however, marry a man of
means there is way by which she can
solve the problem with satisfaction to
herself and husband, and the Brooklyn
Eagle tells of a case in point. A young
woman of undoubted ability in her
special line of professional work was
confronted with this problem about
year ago, and she settled it in a way
that affords complete satisfaction. For
tunately. the man she married has a
gocd income and so she was able to
follow out her original plan. Before
giving up her professional work she
stipulated that her husband should give
her for her personal use a monthly
sum equal to the salary that she was
then receiving, and as she was in line
for promotion she also stipulated that
the added sum that in all probability
she would receive each year should be
given her by her husband. The agree
ment was made and each month a
check for a tidy little sum finds it's
way into her purse to dispense as she
chooses and she is at liberty to en-

Talk Rife of the Re-estab-
lishment of This Import
ant Branch of the District
Military Service.
Many Members Of the Local
Organization Eligible to
Membership - Cavalry
Corps Has Its Supporters,

The attention OF the District Of Col
umbia National Guardsmen mas again
been called TO the organization OF "a
battery OF light artillery. Gen. George
II. Harries, and almost all of the
Guardsmon believe the battery could be-
organized within q short time and with
out any trouble. Previous 10 the war
with Spain in 1898. the light artillery
OF the District was one OF its strongest
examinations
The re-establishment Of this braucn
or the service has been talked over en-
several occasions. and now 1T is be-
heved the time is ripe for action. The
men in the ranks as we'll as the officers
have entered into the matter with en-
thusiasm. and if their present earnest
hard work is continued fl will only be
a short while before the battery is
organized
There is probably nc other National
Guard in any OF the States which has
so many eligible artillerymen to choose
q battery from. Many members Of the
local militia served in the artillery in
the war with Spain, and like the duty
better than Infantry service.
There are also a number Of enlisted
men in the National Guard as well who
have served one. two. and three en-
listments in the regular army. aud who
are familiar with the workings Of a
light artillery battery. 1t has been as
certained that there are sufficient men
in the Guard to man a battery. There
are also a few officers who have ex-
perience in handling small-sized field
guns.
Since the close OF the Spanish-Ameri-
can war in 1898 there has been no bat
terry OF artillery connected with the
local militia, and those who belonged
to It before It disbanded, have been
working hard and faithfully for its re-
organization.
Efforts have been made each faII and
spring TO reorganize Il but for lack of
interest the plan has fallen through
each time. The number OF promoters
OF the project has increased within the
past year or so. and now that the plan
has sufficient backing it is expected the
enlistments viii start Immediately.
The organization of the proposed cav
airy regiment is also talked Of Al
though It is said that the cavalry has
more supporters than the artillery. IL is
believed by those who are not concerned
in either that the artillery will be the
first to be equipped. Just at present
rife practice demands the Guardsmen's
attention. but next summer. when in
terest in outdoor affairs is revived, II is
thought the cavalry command will be
added to the Guard ana go into camp
with the other organizations.
