There are many indi-
vidual pieces, chiefly
for living-rooms and
libraries, such as arm
chairs, easy c h a RS,
sofas, bookcases a n d
desks. Each a wonder
fully fine specimen OF
cabinet-making.
Enviable is the bride
or the family re-fur-
nisfting a new home,
who will secure a GER
tain stately suit in an
tique ivory e n a m e |,
Louis XVI p ri o d.
There are four pieces:
bed, bureau. d r e S S er
and chest of drawers.
The bureau is is inches loag,
and contains five roomy draw
ers, three small and two large
ones
As the purpose of bureau is
to hold things, even these
drawers are worth a moments
pause to notice their substan-
tial construction, characteristic
of all the cabinet-vork in this
Sale. In the first place, the
wood used in the suit is ma
hogany, whose grain shows up
beautifully in the polished in
terror of the drawers. Each
drawer is separated from the
other by its own partition, not
only making ii dust-proof, but
making the body of the bureau
firm and straight-running In
its comings-out and its goings-
in.
Highly tempere ste ]
springs at the back of each
drawer assist in this construc-
tiOn, which means no sitting on
the floor biting your lips for
patience as you wrestle with a
mulish drawer which sticks pro
vokingly on one side, while
showing an almost embarrass-
ing willingness to come forward
ON the other-and just as you're
off guard, pops gleefuily and
defiantly out in a manner which
says as plain as words can talk,

sharp corners on your unpro-

of contents to north, south, east

construction is complete. An

Gates anywhere). The grace
fully arched headboard is of
cane, divided into three panels
by rich beading. and framed
all round by beading, sur
mounted at the top by the same
floral carving which makes the
mirror so attractive.
The rounded footboard is
even prettier than the head
board 1t is made up in cane,
divided into two sections by

which is reproduction of the
capital of the columns in

The last touch OF distinction
is added TO this bed by the side

The March Sale of Furniture
Is March WindfaU of Fortune
To Prudent Purchasers
AT WANAMAKER'S

I'm THE clever novel
by Buckrose, "The
Gossip Shop" the
suggestion is made that
Owe must be very care
full not to scare from
our England the Spirit
of Home, as once we
drove away the fairies.
We, in practical, So
phisticated America,
where we neither found
nor brought any fairies,
must also be at pains to
keep the latchstring out
for the Spirit of Home.
If she absents herself, it
helps not what eminent
personages may enter,
t he hearthstone re-
mains cold.
We must set out our
very best and finest to
hold her favor, as IN old
times the saucer of milk
or dish of curds was set
out on the hearth for
Robin GoodfelloW and
the other fairies.
TINQUESTIONABLY, 7
~ the spirit of home is
not manufactured of
wood and upholstery,
any more than the
human beings who live
in it are made up all-in-
all of a Skin face" as
the little girl aptly
called it.
But that's the part
we see. The rest we
mostly feel.
And it was said on
this page yesterday, it
is astonishing how any
thing so intangible as
the atmosphere of a
home can depend so
largely on things so
substantial, so seeming
prosaic as furniture
and carpets.
But it does.
Marion Harland, a
woman wise in the lore
of Womankind, once
said, regarding the in
born home-making in
stinct of her sex:
Give a woman a
broom, a baby and a
packing-box and she'll
make a home out of
them.
Granted. But give
the same woman the
same broom, the same
baby, a G o o d : siz e d
apartment or house and
a vanload of such furni-
ture as we offer in this
March Sale-and the
difference in the kind of
home she will make
with 1t will be worth all
she would save" in a
lifetime of simple life in
the packing-box.
Ask the baby, when it
reaches talking age!
y
THERE is no getting
L away from furni-
ture. 1t must be had.
