When the message came Mr.. Cooley

on the next train. 1t was the intention
of the son to occupy the place had he
returned from France.

We had orders to go over the top that
day and were on our way. While on
the way little before Il o'clock, a
car passed US with officers, and they
showed us the shell they were taking
to the front, saying it was the last
shell to be fired in this war / had
just got used to the roar of the can
mons so l could sleep while they
coughed
A few days later I was transferred
to the At tn NJ. G. Co., and made the
hike to Germany over 200 miles
with pack. Some days we went 26
miles. The train of this division was
so long we could seldom see both
ends of it. we always assembled at
s in the morning and tried to land near
a town in the evening to get a little
shelter for the night, but many times
we slept in our pup tents on the frosty
ground.
got few boils and one shoe boil
at the end of the hike. This was quite
sore, but the doctor marked me for
quarters for nearly 4 week. which was
a fine rest, as the pain wasn't so Sc

Ahave our regular quarters, and 1t is

nice to us and like to talk. The little
boys help us all they can.

 door, A little throne of wicker by a little chimney-place, Nor ali the kings of ages boasted more. A little place of longing where a fathers midday dreams, Will lead him from the sordid,

H AR M Q NY IN DESIGNS AT
 HOME

Women are so accustomed to an every year change of style in matters pertaining to dress that in house fur nishing they are apt to be unduIy influenced by what is set forth as the newest idea. But when it will be re- membered that the most hideous mistakes in the furnishing world have been perpetrated in the name of fashion; bulbous Victorian walnut and red plush, shiny oak, black leath- CT and cut glass; green leather and mission, only partly improved on by Craftsman and brown, these styles were in turn Practically put forth by the manufacturers in the vain h., g of giving the public somec-- f7ew and smart enough to put the blood old period designs under the sod for ever!
 And what happened? The period designs bobbed up again, stronger than ever, and filled our hearts with wild enthusiasm after we had been forced to gaze at these other new and ugly things, no matter which way we turned.
 But we have learned our lesson, for 1t is been proved past all doubt that there is a certain homelil1e, cosey living room that any one can have, a living room bought piece at a time. without the hint of "set' of any thing, an ageless, colorful, alluring living room, so beautiful that its con- tents can be willed to great grand children with the assurance that nothing better will ever be found.
 zf IrE- and ends with mahogany. and each piece Is bought as it individually can be afforded. If there is settled scheme well established in the mind less expensive substitutes for some of the pieces can be used for a while chairs of wicker. a kitchen dropleaf table painted a flat color and engaS- ingly decorated with posies; a cot bed nicely covered and banked with eff fective pillows until that sofa can be affordedl
 But the real piece to work toward are a desk, either the bureau variety shown in the group or a secretaire with a glass-doored space for books above; a gateleg table, an over stuffed or a Virginia sofa, an over stuffed wing armchair, shown in the group; an overstuffed chair without the wings, Windsor chairs, possibly a tall-boy, many mirrors, plain lamps with cretonne, plain silk or decorated vellum shades. built in shelves for books; plain light walls of a neutral tone. characterful cretonne curtains, some cretonne in the upholstery. some plain velour. and unobstrusive Wilton rug. All these things work to- gether for perfect harmony and are ,warrsltsd to Siye5ay.
