FOR a handsome liv-
ing room t h a t
needs just one more
luxurious piece Of fine
furniture to give it a
feeling of rich compile
ton, there is a beauti-
full Louis XIV settee, a
true representative Of
courtly grandeur. It is
oval in shape, of ivory
enamel with continuous
rounded back and arms,
with medallions Of dou-
bic cane. The top of the
frame is decorated with
the acanthus leaf, while
on the lower edge are
elaborate carvings Of
foliage entWined with
ribbon.
The elegance and clas-
sic art of the frame
work are we'll matched
by the luxuriousness of
the upholstered spring
seat and bed-of-down
boxed cushion, on whose
lap repose three pill
lows, filled with the fin
est 1eecy down, cover
ed in satin of a mellow
rose-color.
The size, shape, deco
ration and finish of this
settee make it useful as
a wall piece of furni-
ture, when it is not de-
sirable to place it dag
onally, or in the centre
of the room to reveal
its beauty in its entire
ty. Price $3.50.

that Hitchcock among others would
aid in a movement to get an embargo

PARIS, Dec. 10-Do the European
allies intend fully to carry out the
spirit of the fourteen points?
This Is the question most seriously
raised recently in American quar-
ters. both in Paris and London. as
the result OF statements by promt-
nent French and Britishers, support
ed to considerable extent by the
press-indicatinE a disposition to 90
far beyond the limitation OF some OF
President Wilson's principles while
ignoring others.
Making all due allowances for
pressure from certain elements OF
the population of both countries, this
disposition is especially accentuated
in Great Britain on account OF the
hottest general election campaign in
years.
Americans are generally bewil-
dered. Some are frankly astonished,
pledge to make peace on the basis
OF Wilson's January speech and
his subsequent addresses.
The United Press is in q position
to state that the president expects
the allies. as well as Germany. to
adhere to the principles laid down
in these speeches, with the exception
of clause two, upon which the allies
reserved freedom of action.
Nowhere in any of these addresses,
for instance, appears any recession
from the presidents pronouncement,
National ornaments must be re-
duced to the lowest point consistent
with domestic safety This obvious
ly included naval as well as land
ornaments.
Nor can there be found, even by
the most liberal Interpretation, any
justification of the recent authorita-
tive British statement that the Gen.
trail powers must pay the cost of the
war to the limit Of their capacity 1t
is admitted that the French conten-
ton for repayment Of the Prussian
extortion of billion dollars, with
interest, is reasonable, and may be
debated under Wilson's declaration
that the wrong Of 1871 should be
righted. But it is pointed out that

1t is highly probable that If
