a newspaper report telling of the ap-
pearance before the Finance Committee

ing the confirmation of Mr.. Goldstein
Then Senator Harrison said:
II am wondering how long this prac-
tice of the Republican members Of the
Finance Committee holding secret ses-
sions behind closed doors, and thus de-
termining the policy of this Congress
will last. They did 1t with reference TO
bonus legislation. They are now doing
1t on the Nat Goldstein proposition"

gram signed by the presidents of the
Women's League of Voters of Missouri.
Including the president of the Republi-
can League of Women Voters. praising
his course in opposing the nomination of
Goldstein and denouncing the latter as
unfit for the post for which he has been
named by President Harding.
Senator McCumber. in replying. said ::
whenever I get little time / shall
call the committee together as COM
mittee to consider the Goldstein ap-
pointment. Every Senator on the COM
mittee will be notifed."f
He added that the Republican mem
bers are now meeting every morning to
consider the tariff measures. He said
Senator Spencer came before the COM
mittee yesterday to discuss the tariff
and took occasion to say something
about the Goldstein case.
Senator McCumber denied there hao
been any action taken on the Goldstein
case by the Republican members. say
ing when the nomination first was made
the committee did not take a poll and
agree to make favorable report. He
also explained that when the nomina-
ton of Goldstein first came to the COM
mittee the matter was turned over to
one of the members to consult with both
of the Senators from Missouri, Ito
ascertain if the nomination was salts
factory to both of them" That MEM
ber reported back to the committee he
has been unable to get an expression
concerning the nomination Of Goldstein
from Senator Reed. and for that reason
the matter is now held in abeyance.

THE HOME

Bv Harold Donaldson Eberlein
The Stuart Settle or Settee

Settles or benches with arms and
backs were in general use all during
the Stuart period and often stood be-
side the fireplace. Sometimes they were
perfectly plain, at others they were or
namcnted with carving and paneling. 1t
was not unusual for the part between
seat and floor to be inclosed with pam
cling, while the seat itself was hinged.
thus making the one piece Of furniture
do duty as seat and chest ut the
same time.
The example shown in the cut is an
early Long Island oak settee, made
about 1900, and is evidently the direct
ancestor Of the modern sofa. Tho back
of this settec is solid. consisting of one
long oak panel. The seat frame is
corded and is meant to have cushion
placed upon 1t. Most Of these settees,
however. had solid wooden seats. The
long wooden pieces connecting the legs,
Just above the floor, are called streach =
ers. They were usually ornamented with
little molding and were intended to
make the structure firm and strong.
This settee is n little more than six
feet long and is n thoroughly comfortable
and useful piece of furniture of simple
design. Such piece nowadays Is highly
desirable in n living room. library or
dining room.
