So when buying your dining-room suit, why not
select table whose finish won't take marks?
You can do it,
Two of the most beautiful of the suits of dining
furniture have here include tables whose tops
have been especially treated to withstand the attacks
of the hot dish.
One is suit of dark brown walnut, built on lines
of the William and Mary period Among its charming
and unusual features is the ornamentation through
studdng, done with tiny brass nails and in graceful
designs that give the effect of panellng, of all doors
of china closet, buffet and serving table, and of the
skirt of the dinng-table.
Other distinctive features are the pretiIy curved
arms and crosssIatted backs of the chairs whose seats
upholstered in tapestry and the shape of the china
closet which is low and unusually broad, with heavily
figured drawers.
The brassinished pulls on these drawers are as
graceful as flowers

"HIS beautiful and un-
usual furniture for
the d ini n g : room,
whose arrival we are cele-
brating with a well-de-
served card of introduction
to the public, is not costly
beyond the reach of people
living on everyday in
comes.
1t 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-room 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
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.

fet the rich paneling of
light burr-walnut on a door

fective medallion which re-

Passage OF Suffrage
amendment by Senate
PLeoses Chairman Hoys
N,,o~,1T

CpeCtut correspondence
INDIANAPOLIS, June 5.-Will Fl.
Hays, Republican national chairman,
said to-day he was highly pleased with
the action of the Senate in passing the
woman's suffrage amendment In out
lining the policy to be followed by the
party he said:
81 have always insisted that there is
only one possible rule for political
party, and that is that the rights of the
individual membership to participate in
the management of the party's affairs
must be and remain equally sacred and
sacrediy equal. The Republican women
of this country are a part of the party
memb bershp.
Their activity is not supplementary,
auxiliary or secondary at all-they are
units in the party membership, and
where the suffrage for them is new they
come III just as men have come in when
they have reached the legal voting
age. They are not to be separated at
all, but assimilated and ANA lgamated
with just that full consideration due
every working member of the party
in the rights of their full citizenship
There is to be no separate women's S
organization created within the party
except and only in those cases where
such an arrangement may be needed d
temporarily to be an efficient instru-
ment in the aid of the complete ANAL
gamation which is our objective.

stead rights and is understood to have
been generously provided for in sep
arate agreement.
Dorothy Pintard Stevens and Rich
ard Stevens, jr, receive special be-
quests of S28,000 each, which amounts
had been left to the other two children,
Caroline and Elsie Stevens, by their
grandmother. The residuary estate
will be divided into four parts and held

Ratification by States
Predicted by Mrs. Gait

Women of all the states will be en-
titled to vote for President in 1920
if special sessions of state legislatures S
are called to ratify the Federal amend
ment, according to Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, president of the National
American Woman Suffrage ssociation,
last night. Twenty eight states already
have some form of woman suffrage, and
in others there already is suffrage
sentiment to give the women conf
dence that those state legislatures will
ratify. Mrs. Gait said yesterday:
"There is no question at all about the
speedy ratification of the amendment if
special sessions are called 1t is not
the state legislatures that are respon-
sible for delaying justice to American
women. The one thing that has been
in the way has been a small and COM
pact minority of both major parties
that set itself against progress. Now
enough of that minority has seen the
light. The amendment has been passed
Had it been passed before the close of
the 1919 sessions, as it should have
been and would have been save for the
obdurate minority, there is no question
that the necessary thirty-six state leg
islatures would have ratified before
March of this year. AS it is, special
sessions afford the only redress for the
women and the only way in which the
political parties can secure uniform
electorate of women to whom to make
their apDcal"

Lifting of Ban on Wine
and Beer Wilson's Duty

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Since de-
mobilization Of combatant troops will
be completed by June -, it was the
duty of the President. Representative
Fitzgerald former Mayor of Boston,
asserted before the House Judiciary
Committee to-day, to cancel the re-
strictiOns of the ar-timc prohibition
of wine and beer. Mr.. Fitzgerald ar
gucd it should not be permitted to be-
come effective until constitutional pro-
hibitlon goes into effect on January /,
1920.
representative Fitzgerald told the
committee that, although he personally
was prohibtionist, he had attempted
to see President Wilson to argue
against putting wartime prohibition
into effect after hostilities had come
to an end.
Il was told at the White House that
the Presidents mind was in Europe
and that no human being could get a
chance to see him about that law"
he said. "1his law was passed as a
war measure. The people of the coun-
try should not be made to believe a
thing that is a lie
Thousands of foreigners in the laro.e
cities who have been used to light
wines and beers will be compelled to
give them up after July l under the
law, Representative Fitzgerald as
serted
"They are going to asy why are
these things being taken away from
u.s." he continued. "The answer will
be the war. Isn't the war over? Yes,
you will reply, but the prohibitionists
have the vote.
"Why, this law will be a Joke.
"To quote q remark of former Presi-
dent Taft, it will require policeman
for every home. Take the great city
of New York, with 100000 people,
coming from every civilized country
in the world. Do you think you can
enforce this against them overnight,
the way you can in Kansas or Iowa."
Delegates attending the annual con-
vention Of the Anti-Saloon League here
were promised to-day by Senator Shep-
pard, of Texas, that sale Of any bever-
age containing even a trace of alcohol
would be prohibited by laws now being
framed for enforcement of nationwide
prohibition.

The policeman finally reached the
man and grasped him by the collar,
ordering his assailants to let 90. They
refused and some one in the mob hit
Grom on the back of the head, sending
his cap flying and almost bringing him
to his knees.
No one is quite sure what happened
next, but witnesses saw Krom with his
gun in his hand, heard two reports
and saw two children drop Then
