Chippendale Furniture.

Does the name Of "Chippendale'
suggest to you merely mahogany
furniture?
It is not surprising if this is so,
since multitudinous types of mahag-
any furniture are often specifically
and frivolously classed as -Chippen-
dale" True it is that the almost
official title of Thomas Chippendale
is "the high priest of mahogany"
But such a classification, regarded as
complete, is worse than, or as bad
as, none at all.
Now, versatility is the outstanding
trait of Chippendale furniture and
one that does not facilitate your task
Of learning to recognize it The
genius of Chippendale lies in his
ability to get inspiration from
many styles-Dutch, French, Chinese,
Gothic. OF these the only exotic
touch is the Chinese. Otherwise the
famous English cabinctmaker is con-
sistently English. You will see the
oriental influence in an occasional
odd mingling of flowers, figures,
shells or curves.
However, Chippendale is best known
by his furniture, which is modelled
along Queen Anne and Dutch types,
all interpreted with the skill that
makes him rank as the best known
Of English cabinetmakers.
In spite of his confusing versatil-
ity, there are certain characteristics

Revolution or Religion.

Preaching good tidingS of teaee.-
Acts 10 80.
Some people say that a revolution
is coming in our own age and our
own country.
1t is possible.
There are signs of it.
There has been Il tremendous in
crease of luxury among the rich in
thc present generation.
There has been an increase of Suf-
fering among the poor in certain Sec
tionS of our country.
1t may be that we are on the eve
OF a great overturning.
DO not know. l am not a prophet
nor the son of ii prophet.
But I know that there is one thing
that can make Il revolution needless
ono thing that is infinitely better than
any revolution. and that is real
revival of rcligion-the religion that
has already founded the hospital and
the asylum and the free school: the
religion that has broken the fetters
of the slave and lifted womanhood
ont of bondage and degradation, and
put the arm of its protection around
the helpleSSneSS and innocence OF
childhood; the religion that proves its
faith ny it's works and links the
preaching of the fatherhood of God
to the practice of the brotherhood of
man
That religion is true Christianity.

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
BY MARY BLAKE
Pisces.

Not until evening do favorable as
poets take control, and the influences
which operate during the day create
nervousness and strong tendency to
irritability. Social functions and heart
affairs benefit considerably after S
pm.
A child born today will be strong
and robust and gifted with more than
average intelligence and have a low
able disposition.
II today is your birthday, you pos
sess remarkable characteristics, only
partially developed. You have good
IDEAS and conceive many brilliant
projects; but if your brain works,
your body idles. Work and persever-
ancc-always so necessary TO achieVe-
luent-;lre lacking in your makeup.
IF you will only cease to be a NAH
ana" disciple: if you will not persist
in putting off until tomorrow what
YOU ought to do today, your success
will be positive.
You have a wide vision; you are
honest with yourself and with others;
YOU have a keen sense OF justice; you,
however, are slothful.
Your disposition is aSreeanle' ana
vour personality is charming. You
attract friends very readily, and hold
them. Most of them wonder, however,
why YOU stand still and do not rise to
those heights that nature INTENDED
YOU to scale. =,
In sports you have never exceiled,
although you could do so II ambition
Spurred you ON. You are content win
mediocre rather than with brilliant
results.
You have a great love of reading.
but generally choose the book or
magazine that involves no continuous
study or deep concentration:
You are eminently fitted to be a
writer, but the labor involved pre-
vents you.
Unless joined to some one who
gives you the urge" you pass your
life doing the daily grind, forgetting
what might have been If energy ana
perseverance had been allied to your
natural gifts-far above the average.

If you should happen to burn

coat or tunic or bodice of this sort
must be made for you, and you alone.
1T is simple enough matter setting
snap fasteners in different positions
to make up for slight discrepancies
in proportion, but quite another mat
ter to move buttons and buttonholes.
Usually now, of course, the rows of
buttons on frocks are for purely deco
rative purposes. They have ceased to
work for a living since we usually
wear frockS that We tie or snap or
hang onto ourself with the least pos
sible trouble.
Perhaps this very fact will make
the mode of jacket or tunic that

more to be desired by the really dis

Face and Bath Powders.

Lately have received a great many
letters from readers asking for for
mulas for bath powders. Now, to be
of any value a bath powder should be
cooling, soothing and refreshing. If
it has any antiseptic properties it is
even more valuable, because it forms
a protection against the germs with
which we are in hourly contact. Here
is an excellent formula: Boric acid
powder, two ounces; starch, eight
ounces
This can be the ordinary cooking
starch or finely powdered starch
bought at drug store. 1t is particp--
larly good for neutralizing unpleasant
perspiration odors which sometimes
persist on an active skin even after
bath. If instead Of starch you sub

A slightly more elaborate formula
is: Boric acid powder, one ounce; tai
cum, four ounces.
have described, is an ideal base for
bath powders, for it has a silk fine
ness which Is very soothing to the
skin. 1t does not cling very we'll
ion powder. Generally I suggest that
my readers purchase face powder
ready made instead of trying to make
1t. However, if you wish to do so, ask
your druggist for rice starch. You
will probably be buying potato starch
but it doesn't matter. 1t is finer than
corn starch and clings better, and il
is the base of all good powders. Per-
fume this with sachet, or else put a
few drops of perfumed oil in the bot
, tom of your powder bowl and keep ii
covered. The perfume will permeate
all the powder in the bowl. Add d
little powdered rouge if you wish a

dark, light rouge if you are blonde.

AS was anticipated the Fourth was
very quiet in this city and the night
before was lacking in the usual
noise. Bells were runE at midnight
but even these seemed to lack en-
thusiasm and were silent after q
very short period. Special police
officers were on duty and their SER
vices were needed in the vicinity of
the park for a short while earlier in
the evening, but they soon quelled
the disturbance and made no arrests.
No fires resulted from celebrations.
and at a late hour last evening no

The proposal that the candidates

ernor Smiths manager. took the
platform and proposed that the con-

tions from the floor. developed that
Mr.. Roosevelt's proposal contained
no provision for an executive ses-
sion. and having visions of booing
galleries loaded with Smith rooters.
the McAdoo delegations voiced
against the proposal. Like the Cole
resolution, the Roosevelt resolution
required two thirds for passage.
There were 604 for it and 473
against 1t, so the Roosevelt motion
was lost.
The hectic session today saw the
withdrawal Of Ralston and Cox from
the race, failed as usual to make
