A Chicago sign writer on his way to

ness in punctuation that gives an old

mas could be used with less freedom
and not impair style or form. 1t re-
quires no more labor or material to

The man to whom l was apprenticed
told me: When in doubt about a
period or comma leave it out Such a
sign bearing the words John Brown
on one line and Tailor on the line
below 1t should have neither comma
nor period, and when John Brown puts
his name only on his shingle a period
after Brown is ridiculous, though
your Honolulu painters will often ring
it in. Periods, except after abbrevia-

Tables in Bygone Days.
From the Taller.


The first dining table was probably just a
block of stone or a log Of wood. But even
primitive man must soon have discovered
that these devices did not provide for the
comfortable disposal of his legs and have
set about taxing all his ingenuity to Invent
something else. 1t Is probable that as the
result of his cogitations a rough-hewn piece
of board supported on two big stones came
into fashion among the elite in these far
prehistoric times.
The early trestle table which was used
in the beginning of the fifteenth century
consisted of parallelogram of wood fash
Toned into board. resting upon two or
more pedestal-like supports. And we have
a Renaissance of this movable kind of ia BILE
in the expression "a seat at the board" to-
day; while that of taking the chair is OBJ
viously a survival Of the time when a chair
was the place of honor reserved for the
master of the house or given by the grand
seigneur to the guest whom he wished to
honor, the other diners sitting upon rude
benches placed alongside the table.
One can imagine the inventor seated at
the head of his new dinner table, clad In
his best bearskin, and surrounded by Sc
lect and admtring company OF his init
mates, who ate roast flesh literally Off the
festive board and drank the first toast at
this first primeval dinner party in his
honor in cool water from a stream hard by.
From this stage to planks resting on rude
trestles would be easy transition, ana
civilization had of course made considerable
progress before the supports and the board
were Joined together as one piece of furnl-
ture.
