 NU some pieces of fine old furni-
 ture brought to this country ~ in colonial days or even since that time. There are examples of Chip pendale, Sheraton, Louis KY. and XVI. and other makes to be found in some of the old families to this day as well as much that has been imported since French furniture belonging to the diff ferent periods. also much clever imita- tion, may be bought at the present time and some of it is not so very expensive after all. There is q general idea that French furniture means tremendous expense, much gliding. elaborate deco ration, Aubusson tapestry and all that and therefore is not suitable for an un- pretentious house. But this is not al- together so. While fl Is true that the furniture of the royal palaces was all this, yet we must not take that kind as the only example of French furniture, but rather look tu the well furnished houses of the periods. There will he found large tables. comfortable arm chairs, everything suitable Co modern private life, simple. practical, unprcten- tious and beautiful. For a sitting room or boudoir an adaptation of Louis XVI furniture is suitable and charming. The room may have white paneled walls. n carved walnut spfa covered with an- tique brocade. marauetry tables and comfortable chairs.
 Perhaps the most practical of modern furniture owes its origin 10 that ad- mirable designer Hepplewhite. Tn. lightness and grace which express themselves in curves are derived from this particular style. which came as a change from the heavier and more clumsy style of Chipnsndalc. his pre,ie- cessor in popular favor. Hepplewhitc was especially happy in hls chairs He popularized the shield and oval chair back. He made a great number of Ctairs bearing the design of the Prince uf Wales feather. which was either ia- banned on the srlat or carved in ths opeuwork back.
 Contemporary with Hepplewhite was tine designer and maker Thomas Shera- ion. whose work. though not more c1arming, is perhaps better appreciated at the present day Though a practical cabinet maker. Sheraton abandoned the actual practice of furniture making and gave his time to designing ana the teaching of drawing He published book of designs. in which he demon strsted his theory that oTuameHtatiou should be subservient to utility. and in adhsring to this doctrine he gave a practical illustration of it's truth His

In loving remembrance of our little darl-
ing, Johnnie FUR, who departed this life
October 10, 1905, aged years. monthsa and
10 days. Gone, but not forgotten
Though this world is full Of trouble,
Full of sorrow and of pain,
Yet to us it would be Heaven
If you were only here again.
How sadly we grieve the loss of Johnnie.
And many sad tears we have shed.
Our home is so gloomy, which once was so
bright,
Since our dear little darling is dead.
Time may pass and years may fly,
And every hope decay and die,
And every peaceful dream may set.
But our dear Johnnie we cannot forget.
He is waiting by the river,
Just across the silver stream,
Where sweet flowers forever bloom
And the banks are ever green.
God of Love, send us some token
From the spirit world above
That our hearts. all crushed and broken.
May be healed by Heavenly love.
