Rattan Furniture.

Many people imagine that rattan and
willow furniture are the same. Rattan,
however. is the Chinese importation.
brought direct from Singapore, and is
susceptible Of bending double without
even cracking. 1t possesses. besides,
great firmness and strength. Rattan is
therefore used for such articles as
baskets and lighter ornamental furni-
tnre. Each wood has it's use, the rat
tan being better adapted for working
up into intricate designs. SO eagerly

oface since Miss Larrnbee left, but
they do not seem to get the work done
with any system. She was not only
industrious but practical. Friday
mornings, when her work piled up, in
stead Of fussing around the Office and
chattering at the telephone, she would
dive into her desk and bring up her
regular list of adjectives. These she
would copy on three slips, carefully
dividing the list so that no one had a
duplicate, and in the afternoon each Of
the boys received slip with a list Of
parties, and with instructions to scat.
ter the adjectives she had given him
through the accounts of the parties
assigned to him-and the work was
soon done. There was no scratching
the head for synonyms for beautiful"
superb" or elegant" Miss Larrabee
had doled out to each of us the adjec-
tives necessary, and. given the ad-
jectives, society reporting is easy. The
editing Of the copy is easy also, for
one does not have to remember wheth-
er or not the refreshments were "de-
licious" at the Jones party when he
sees the word in connection with the
viands at the Smith party. No two
parties were ever elegant the same
week. No two events were "charming."
No two women were 'exquisitely"
gowned. The person who was assigned
the adjective delightful" by Miss Lar
rabee might stick it in front Of Q
luncheon, pin 1t on hostess. or use
1t for an evenings entertainment.
But he could use 1t only once. And
with a list Of those present and the
adjectives thereunto appertaining, even
boy could get up column In half
an hour. She had an artists pride in
the finished work, however much she
might dislike the thing in making, and
she used to sail down to the press-room
as soon as the paper was out, and,
picking upsthe paper from the folder.
she would stand reading her page, line
upon line, precept upon precept,
though every word and syllable was
familiar to her.
During her first year she Joined the
WoNan's State Press club, but she dis
covered that she was the only real
worker in the club and never attended
a second meeting. She told US that

sive ring ceremony" When she wrote:
THE distinguished company came
forward to offer congratulations to the
newly-wedded pair" she would say
as she sharpened her pencil-point:
There's nothing like wedding to
reveal what raft of common kin peo-
pie have" and we knew that 1t was
all over and that she was closing the
article with: "A dazzling array Of
costly and beautiful presents was ex-
htbited In the library, for then she
would pick up her copy, dog-ear the
sheets, and jab them on the hook as
she sighed: Another great American
pickle-dish exhibit ended.'
In the way she did two things Miss
Larrabee excited the wonder and ad-
miration Of the Office. One was the
way that she kept tab on brides.
We heard through her Of the brides
who could cook, and Of those who were
beginning life by accumulating a
bright little pile Of tin cans in the
alley. She knew the brides who could
do their own sewing and those who
could not. She had the single girls
sniff at the bride who wore her trous-
seau season after season, made over
and fixed up, and she gave the office
the benefit Of her opinion Of the hus-
band in the case, who had a new tailor
made suit every fall and spring. She
scented young married troubles from
afar, and we knew in the Office wheth-
er his folks we're edging upon her, or
her people were edging upon him. If
a young married man danced more
than twice in one evening with anyone
but his wife, Miss Larrabee made faces
at his back when he passed the office
window, and If she caught a young
married woman flirting. Miss Larrabee
regaled US by telling with whom tile
woman in question had opened q
"fresh bottle of emotions"
The other way in which, Miss LARA
bee displayed genius for her work was
in describing women's costumes Three
Of four times year, when there are
large social gatherings, we print de-
scriptions of the woman's gowns. Only
three women in our town, Mrs. Worth
ington, Mrs. Conklin, and the second
Mrs. Markley, have more than one new
party dress in q twelve-month, and

e Passed the Office

too many Of the. women wore, white
stockings and low shoes, read their
own unpublished short stories, and re.
garded her wide-shouldered shirtwaist
and melodramatic openwork hosiery
with suspicion and alarm.
AS the years passed, and wedding
after wedding sizzled under her pen,
she complained to us that she Yas be-
ginning to be called "auntie"; in too
many houses. and that the stock of
available young men who didn't wear
their handkerchiefs under their col
lars at the dances had dwindled down
to three. This reality faces every girl
who lives in country town. Then she
is left with two alternatives: to 60
visiting or to begin bringing them up
by hanc.
Miss Larrabee went visiting. At the
end of month she wrote: tits all
over with me. He is a nice fellow,
and has job doing Live Topics About
Town here on the Sun. Give my job
to the little Wheatly girl, and tell her
to quit writing poetry, and hike up her

most Of the women make party gown
last two or three years. Miss LARA
bee was familiar with every dress in
town. She knew it made over, and no
woman was cunning enough to conceal
the truth even with spangled yoke,
chiffon bertha, or a net overdress;
yet Miss Larrabee would describe the
gown, not merely twice, but half a
dozen times, so that the woman wear
ing 1t might send the description to
her relatives back East without arous-
ing their suspicion that she was wear
ing the same dress year after year.
Therefore, whenever Miss Larrabee
wrote up the dresses worn at a party,
we were sure to sell from fifty to a
hundred extra papers. She could so turn
breastpin and q homemade point
lace handkerchief tucked In the front
of a good old lady's best black satin
into 'point.lace and diamonds," that
they were always good for dozen
copies Of the paper, and she never
overlooked the dress of the wife Of
good advertiser, no matter how plain
1t might be.
She was worth her wages to the
Office merely as 9 compendium Of
shams. She knew whether the bridal
couple, who announced that they would
spend their honeymoon in the East,
were really going to Niagara Falls, or
whether they were going to spend q
week with his relatives III Decatur,
III. She knew every woman In town
who bought two prizes for her whist
party-on to give IL her friend should
win the prize, and another to give If
the woman she hated should win.
With the diabolical eye Of a fiend she
detected the woman who was wearing
the dry-cleaned cast-oft, clothing Of her
sister In the city. What she saw the
Office knew, though she kept her con-
clusions out Of the paper II they
would do any harm, or hurt anyone's
feelings. No pretender ever dreamed
that she was not fooling Miss Larrav
bee. She was willing to agree most
sympathetically with Mrs. Conklin who,
insisted that the. common people,
wouldn't be interested In the list ofi
names at her party; and the only place
where we ever saw Miss Larrabee's
claw In print was In the insistent mis-.
spelling Of the name OF q woman who
had made s3it = point 70 rldicuie the
