During the reign OF Louis Nv,
the furniture assumed the most
varied shapes and a variety OF ma
terials was used. Gilded wood was
used widely, as were also many
varnishes developed in imitation OF
Chinese laquer. The tapestries
used for upholsterinG these chairs
were ornate, showing vases, rocks
fountains, and various scenes.
The chair shown is Louis XIV,

OF A BRIDE
(CoDYrIsht, 1s2O.)

! Jim Comes Out Of his Dell
rtllm-so Deb Isn't Needed.
So Deborah Burns, the finest girl
/, have ever known, came and went
! in the. hospital as freely as Jim s
wife ought to have done. And Ann
LorImer was put to bed at home
and cared for by trained nurse.
Ann likes to be nursed. A small

Deborah looked like goddess
| Of remuneration, / thought, as l
took her over to the hospital. She
was Immaculate in white dtmity
and she wore nurses cap on her
smooth crown and her shining
cropped curls made lovely halo
above her calm brow.
The internes were quite fascin-
ated, wherefore some Of the pref
tier nurses became suddenly criu-
cal of Miss Burns. Inevitably their
gossip about Jim's deliTium. crept
outside the hospital walls. But II
didn't matter; if only Jimmy-boy
got well. nothing else mottered to
Deb.
Deb. always at hand TO be called
. to Jim's bedside, had never been so
beautiful. Her face was illumined
by some great determination, Per
haps Jeanne dare looked 80 when
she went to the stake.
Jim never recognized her at any
time. His lnhibitions prevailed
when she was with him, but he
smiled when she spoke, and went
to sleep only when she held his
hand. He certainly lived through
u peculiar kind Of a double life
while his fever lasted.
"Our patient is much better"
said the surgeon one evening. The
head nurse repeated the good news
when Deb and | were leaving the

- stumps of old ones. To every one of us the minutes seemed like ages and the same atmosphere prevailed everywhere around headquarters.
 At just 7:25 in the morning a messenger from the generals office appeared at the outer door of the trailer and handed up a typed mes sage to one of the boys with the words Shoot it. she's overw jump ed from my chair in time to grab the message and glance over it.
 Fellows" told them, "It's all off. You can all step back and watch the old man send telegram" and did. shot it on a through wire first to the First Army Corps and then jumped to another instrument, to the Third Army Corps. At the same time two of my men, Master Signal Electrician Moss and Sergeant Schneiderhaus whom I thought cs- pecially worthy of the honor, were sending the message to the Fifth Army Corps and to the Second Col onial French, respectively. And do you know that Schniderhaus, ono of the men who informed our troops that the Germans were beaten, was a mt uralized American of German birth!
 Later, the same e>message was sent to all outfits, first by radio and 'then by phone and then by motor cycle messenger.

The Seward gateway., 1920-12-20

The greatest holiday of the year drawing near, Rv. Duane Earl Carter, took for his theme Sunday evening "The Foregleam of Christmas" There may have been in the ages past thoughts and words and acts among widely diversified peoples that had in them the unrecognized prophecy of Christmas, but the first record of such q foregleam that has come down to IFS is found in the book of Genesis wIe God is represented as saying to he tempter of Adam and Eve: "Thou art cursed above all cattle and above every beast of the field; and will put enmity between thee and the woman, it shall bruise thy head, and thou shal. bruise his heel"
 This statement is taken to mean that sometime in the course of the ages there should be one born into the world who in himself would embody Inc enmity, the force that is opposed to evil. Little by little as the centur- ies passed belief in the coming of one who should oppose and overthrow the evil which was everywhere evident among men took form in the expecta- tion of messenger from God. The very atmosphere was tense with this expectation when the shepherds keep ing watch by night over their flocks heard a multitude of the heavenly host rraising God, and saying,
 "Glory to God in the highest,
 And on earth peace among men in whom he is we'll pleased"
 
 Long were the ages that came and went ere the full light indicated by the remote forgleam burst into full efful- gence in the perfect manhood of Jes- u' Christ Nalo should save his people from their sins. Ages yet will pass before the prophecy of that distant foregleam will come to full fruition in the hearts and lives of men, "Yet I-dolbt not thro'the ages one increas-, ing purpose runs, and the thoughts of men are widen'd with the process of the sums."
