which ! fully expected. H. did not re-
spect me enough thereafter to continue

William and Mary Settecs
By Hqrold Donaldson Eberlein

Hollandcrs have always thoroughly
understood the art Of physical comfort.
Wacn Dutch furniture styles became
dominant in England under William OF
Orange there was, therefore, an in
crease Of comfort in the chairs and
scttces There had been a few uphOl-
,tc~cl settecs early in the Stuart period,
nnd after the Restoration there were
more numerous upholstered settees with
high backs, but in the latter part of
the seventeenth century during the reign
Of William and Mary lower backed set :
tees more comfortably upholstered came
into lAOrr general use.
The settec shown in the illustration
is representative Of this newer type.
The back IL in two divisions, each
marked by the arched shaping of the
top which was Characteristic Of the
ncriod. Longer settees had third
archel top in the back and the seat was
usually divided into as many cushions
as there We're arches to the back The
arms wrr" rolled over and upholstered.
These settccS were covered with bro =
cadeg, yelrcts, noedlepOint or with the
large figured heavy linens, printed from
hand blocks with brilliant colOrs. The
seat in front had shaped apron, "
usually covered with the upholstery ma :

Edith PLAYS the Vamp

carefully avoided mentioning 1t. That
made me feel, and not unnaturally, that

something about it when we were alone.
OF course Edith said nothing about
it either. but her friendship with Nor

Norman took to coming home on an

not been for Herbert would hnve been
