There is a type Of magazine article
that should be carefully withheld from
the hands OF the highly credulous. 1t
appears most often in the household
magazines and its writer never fails
to romance in this CHEEKY vein:
II find that I can make a lovely
bedroom easy chair out of an old bar
rel and three yards of pale blue
scrim.''
An ite.rized table follows showing
that the thing can't possibly cost more
than eighty-five cents. The anguish
and heartaches that have been kindled
by such fictions as these! We are
coming to one now.
Peggy. inspired by reading one of
the foregoing. is determined to refur-
nish her room. Were she content with
rearranging the furniture alone, or
hanging some new curtains, there
would be less woe to tell. But as she
f1utters the RACES Of the magazine her
eyes fall upon what, as it afterward
proves. only contributes further to her
grief.
It is a picture OF lady in an ad,
who, smiling pleasantly at the reader
as she kncels. applies with the greatest
possible ease a shining coat Of paint
to an old chair. 1t is clear at q glance
that painting furniture is q charming
diversion. And a second glance shows
that it can be managed without the
slightest untidiness or discomfort.
Thus encouraged, 1t is not surprising
that Peggy. sets to her task with a
song on her lips and a pleasant men
tai picture Of her room after she has
finished. The rest Of the folks are
