If ever a father of a family
deserved anything-and he
usually does - he deserves
this chair, when he comes

be had at $3.50, in mahog-

can, of course, also be had
at higher prices up to $65,

~ dear old lady or the
tired business man who ap-

chair. A few hundred years
back young folks weren't al
lowed to sit on chairs in the
presence of their elders.
They sat on stools if they
were lucky enough to be let
to sit at all.
Nowadays Mary com e s
home stiff from sitting on a
high stool or at a typewriting

work, and she's as worth
thinking about as any one.

Father McRaith is certainly commend

city missionary but also the Catholics
of the city.
With this in view, we may expect
the Knights to render some very time
ly assistance. That it can be done
was evidenced by the support given
proposed projects taken up at this
Tuesday dinner.
A boy will usually give vent to his
pent-up energy along some method of
outlet-usually in an athletic way.
