that will make her happy. Neither OF
us has quite got over the effects of the
last holiday season yet.
You see. we had been married Just
long enough last Christmas to wear
out our first installment of furniture
and most of our wedding gifts.
Things were looking a little shabby
around the house. so we both agreed
that in selecting our little remem-
brances for one another we ought to
contine ourselves to something which
would be mutually useful and attrac-
tive Both of us had been secretly
longing for morris chair. one of those
mission things with big leather cush-
ions that swallow you up in Il deirium
Of comfort. Mrs. z. wanted it for
the beauty of the library and her aft
ernoon siestas. and wanted it for
evening recreation.
Months before the Christmas sea-
son l began putting by little sum
weekly. with the morris chair in mind.
Two weeks before the 25th went
down to n dealers to look at chairs

before. but it was not until | came
upon this particular shop that l dis
covered what wanted. 1t was n
beauty in the darkest and finest of
weathered oak. with all attachments
and pair of fat. greeny brown leath-
err cushions that fairly felt like pipe
dreams. laced with leather strappings
and tied to the woodwork with thongs.
The minute | saw the chair knew it
was for me. but the price was rather
staggering. The dealer wanted $95 for
it at first, and when ! had got him
down to $50 he acted as though he
were giving the thing away. thought
it best to bold out little. SO | merely
requested that ne give me days op-
ton on the chair and paid small de-
post for the privilege.
Meanwhile my wife had been saw
ing every penny. cutting down on the
grocery bill and keeping me on cheap
meats with Christmas in view. 1t
seems that she. too. had morris chair
on the brain. On the afternoon of the
same day on which | discovered my
prize she strolled into the same shop.
The first sight of the chair was enough
| for her, and she offered to buy it on
the spot. The dealer was inconsolable.
