because the chair gives

bratiEg with a well-de-
served card of introduction
TO the public, is not costly
beyond the reach of people
living on everyday in
comes.
II is not a scant handful
of treasures collected for
wealthy connoisseurs, of the
kind that it takes a special
education TO admire and a
wife with money in her own
right to buy.
There are hundreds of
these new, handsome, up
to-date dining-roon suits in
10 pieces, in various styles
and representing various
periods-Queen Anne, Will
liam and Mary, Sheraton,
Louis XIV, Louis XVI
and their prices start as low
as $3.50 and range TO $500.
There is beauty and
character in the less eX-
pensive suits, and still more
beauty and character as
you go higher in price.
The furniture is of two
kinds of woods - walnut
and mahogany = and its
beauty consists in the ex-
quisite quality and finish
of the woods used, the
grace and purity of outline.
and the tasteful, unusual
and infinitely varied d
touches of decoration.
These are hard to de-
scribe, but easy to admire
when seen.
The metal trim, Of brass
or silver finish, shows
quaint and artistic effects.

telling about hunting mountain
sheep. After days of proving around
he and his partners, by the use of
strong binoculars, saw bunch Of
sheep way up on top of mountain.
The leader of the sheep came to the
brink OF the precipice at the foot of
which was river, and after hesitat

came down the hunter shot him The
other sheep followed the leader and
met the same fate, until "every darn

he knew it was true, for he and his
