Some people think that If a thing is old

that when the best Georgian furniture
was made there were men who made fur

quality OF workmanship was so good that it
has been handed down TO the present day.

these and the skill gained by years of prac-

using maple and cherry when mahogany
could not be had.
These men were often engaged for months
at a time by the old Colonial families 10 make
furniture after these models. As 1t was

well seasoned, 1t is no wonder that much
OF the furniture still remains. and 1t de-

Odessa books Of marks are furnished
annually to the laundry proprietors. and
these marks and no others may be used.
By this system criminals and revolutionary
agitators are often traced
In Greece small safety pins, each bear
ing little plaque stamped " it'll num-
Der, are attached before, and rem owed
after washing. The owners mark Ia gem
orally written in red indelible ink.
Country laundries in Austria mark each
article in patent ink which defies soap and
water, but is removed by bleaching powder
before the goods are sent home.
Austrians of rank have their orests and
coronets worked on their undergarments.
A case was tried in the viennese courts
not long ago in which a swindling self
styled Count had his linen marked with
the initials and coronet OF the Austrian
Premier Count Golouchowsk.
In Finland the laundry mark ia made
with light brown ink. leading strangers to
believe that the mark has been scorched
in with heated stamp.
In Portugal each article washed bears
three signs, the owners name, his laun-
dry mark and the lAundry's own mono
gram, which appears most prominently.
The laundry mark is a certain definite
number of stitches which are left In after
washing. Towels are marked with stem
cilled figures. often an inch long.
Servians have carried linen marks into
the domain OF high politics. After the
murder OF King Alexander the Obreno-

A bright piece bought already can always
be rubbed down. If you insist, or if furniture
il ordered from the floor samples, it can
just as easily be made with dull finish.
In the houses OF to-day the built-in window
seats, hall settles and porch benches are
very sensible. They reduce the cost Of
furnishing and add much TO the decorative
qualities OF house.
Another thing TO remember when buying
furniture Is not TO choose queer eccentric
looking pieces that will seem out of style
in two years. Furniture has to last long
time, so it ia very important to get what ia
good in shape and finish, so that it will con-
tinue to be ornamental as we'll IA useful.
The household furniture Of the latter
half OF the eighteenth century has come to
be regarded as the best the world has yet
produced and pieces made by Chippendale,
Adams, Sheraton, &c. and some Of their
initators now cell for several times their
original prices, and are copied by furniture
makers Of every kind. In point Of style
and general usefulness nothing now made

Your aunt merely spent a summer Of prepa-

What she probably did. in fact what she
had TO do to secure winter blossoms, was
TO pot her geraniums early in summer
Whenever bud sppeare she clipped 1t
of close to the stem.
AN summer and away into the autumn
she repeated this process. Then when the
hardy and industrious plant had about

scissors were the only real thing, she per-
mitted them to bloom

There Is no real demand for them; they
are not nearly popular enough as a cut
flower 10 make the effort worth while.
Whenever you read that Miss So-and-so
wore a chaplet OF geraniums in her raven
hair and a corsage bouquet OF the same
humble flower. you may be sure she got
them from some private conservatory or
old-iashioned window garden. Profess
sional florists as a rule don't handle them
