- 6EluG,
Does the task Of furnishing your
living room appropriately In these
days Of high prices seem difficult i?
1t really isn't even though your pock-
etbook Is not as heavy as 1t might
be. Even now, sufficient good look
ing furniture can be secured for $3.50.
With this expenditure, however, the
chairs are of willow.
Willow furniture is not TO be de-
spised because 1t is cheaper than
many other kinds. With pretty color
ed cushions and back pads, the chairs
are most attractive. Their lines are
usually good and they are seldom ov-
erdecorated. found willow furniture
light. easy to move in cleaning and
very substantial.
/ made the cushions and pads flor
my chairs from denim in a soft brown.
A pad and straight cushion can be
made for so cents. This includes the
cost OF the cotton used for stuffing
as well as the denim.
Another reason why l consider viii.
low furniture good investment is
that 1t can be moved to other rooms
of the house, to the sun parlor and
the porch when it is worn and you
have other furniture for the living
room. Wicker chairs look we'll in

CONTINUED EXTRAVAGANCE.

The number of government en-
ployes now at work in the depart
ments of Washington is 100000 The
reduction since the armistice has been
comparatively small. People who
visit the departments are impressed
with the air of idleness that prevails,
Yet red tape or favoritism keeps tho
superfluous helpers at work.
Most Of them are bodied men,
fit to take hold and make up the
shortage of production felt in all de-
partments of labor, They help ac-
count for the big deficit of $3.6600, 900
which still remains to be settled after
the Liberty loans are all paid in.
Money will have to be borrowed to
pay these needless costs, and the
people will still be paying interest for
years on the debt created by this
waste.
. Some may say that the above is
merely the impression of critics OF
the administration. Yet anyone SHOULD
see that the force needed now does
| not begin to be as large as that re
quired through the war. If a force
of given size could operate the gov
eminent through such a war whel
things had to be done in such tremen
dous haste, force of half the numbe
should do the word today.
This extravaganza comes back t
the same cause, that the officials ar
not as, rule business men, They ar
not much used to handling money
They have not had the experience a
the head of large business enterprise
where they had to figure costs closely
They are not good judges of efficiene
and have never had to systematic in
dustrial and other operations. The
bungle and binder when given con
ItroI over business, and great sum

In our family there is an old story
which has been handed down for
more than a hundred years, and sun
remains as wildly human as the year
it was new. One of my great-great-
grandmothers-a busting, energeuc
mother and housekeeper, who worked
from early till late, spinning, baking,
washing, cooking, cleaning for her Gag
family, one day fell violently and dan
gerously i'll with typhoid fever For
weeks her life hung in the balance,
and the scared and desperate family
gave up everything else to care for
her and to do the work she usually
did.
Finally the fever broke, the enact
ated white face on the pillow was still
in the first normal sleep, and the old
nurse, the tears of joy running down
her face, told the agitated family that
the crisis was over, that the patient
would in all probability recover. Re-
ioicing, and giving thanks, they all
flew back to their respective tasks
except an old, harmless, halfwitted
cousin who fingered on in the sick
room, beside the nurse. When the pa
Gent opened her eyes from the first
real sleep she had known in many

of us are about beat out with work.
