WHAT CONSTITUTES A

had a deer old friend who had an
expression which means a deal, and
although he has passed into the world

slipped the rope and left behind him
the cares and responsibilities OF ev-
eryday life. But his fcmily knew
that it took C. great deal to get him
to the point where he could take the
step that meant so much to him. For
he was a man of tremendous working
capacity, and he worked himself to
the limit of endurance all the time,
so that really his power to "let go all
holts" saved his life for a long time
But at last, when his l.fe conditions
became such that he was unable to
take any rest had to remain with his
feet in the daily treadmill without
rest or change, he suddenly gave ur

If the home maker buys furniture with the idea of and suitability the scheme will not fail Few people afford to have Georgian William and Mary or Louis XVI rooms. The average Connec- ticut home is furnished simply. There is style appropriate than American English Colonial.
 Whether desires to buy not, visit to the Furniture Sale is something in the way of education. It is interesting to notice that good styles survive Poor limitations, and limsy constructions pass out of sight quickly.
