Buying the Dining Room Table.


The incident was an amusing one,
out the old lady's advice was good.
and it was accepted, says the st. Jo-
yeph Gazette She was not talking
without her book, as the old saying
nas it.
"Don't buy that square table for the
| lining room, young people" she OBJ
Terved pleasantly, addressing the cou-
Die who were evidently preparing for
he great event of their lives. The
Talesman of the furniture warehouse
looked on with just q flicker Of smile
covering about his lips. They call
hem square but they are usually
,blong, you know" she added, with
TaGaciOus nod.
'.Vhy not buy square table, ven

INTO the spirit of the thing
IN tell YOU" responded the old lady
decidedly. ''Of course, you are begin

ashamed of that! We commenced in

and we are in large way now. as

and two ends TO your square table

She paused almost in triumph. The
young people waited for her to answer
her own question.
You get two persons on each of the
two sides and you feel crowded Mt the
side, while those at the end have really
more room than they require. It's in
convenient Then, again, the corners
seem to divide you into groups, so to
say. Chimney corners may be social
enough, but tables corners are not. II
you are In a big place, with q big Ia
BILE, it is quite different, but in your
little house you will find 1t just ms

Therefore buy an oval table. There
are no corners and you all sit side by
side. You have more space and you
are not parted. You may think that
you lose space by rounding the cor
ners; so you do. but the space lost is IN
the middle Of the table, for the outer
edge, where people sit, is increased.
You have a little less space for placing
dishes. but you can easily have those
on a side table. You can't seat a guest
at n side table when you are only
small party.
"a round table would be better2 No.
Round tables are usually not so hrm

1t is a wise thing to throw out old
medicine. Keeping it is rash economy,
as many drugs lose their strength,
while others deterIorate and become
dangerous to take. Then the same
physical conditions do not often occur,
and it is always safer to get n new pre-
scription or ut least have the old one
freshly put up. Besides, IL old bottles
accumulate one is apt to forget what
