long enough last Christmas to wear

Things were looking little shabby

that In selecting our little remem-

contne ourselves TO something which
would be mutually useful and attrac-

down TO $50 he acted as though he
were giving the thing away. thought
1t best to hold out little, so I merely
requested that he give me days op-

Meanwhile my wife had been saw

The first sight of the chair was enough
for her, and she offered to buy It on
