HOME NOTES
By JENNY WREN.

One Of the most fascinating charac
teristics Of Spanish furniture is that
peculiar quality of individuality which
seems to find expression in each piece.
The vanguenos or cabinets. often
used as desks, are among the most
elaborate Of the old Spanish pieces.
In it's simplest form the vangueno Is
merely chest with a dropfront lid
fitted with small drawers and com
partments. Sometimes it is mounted
on a stand, as here; sometimes on a
table and sometimes on another chest

by Ceaser Dunn, which had a long,
continued run in New York.
The story of the play involves a
young shoe clerk who has struggled
along on $25 a week, until a million
aiNe uncle ONE from the West and
tells the boy that he is going to
make him his sole heir to his for
tune.
The uncle become very i'll, and the
merchants of the town extend eX-
travagant credit to Andy on the
strength of his prospective fortune.
A comely little bookkeeper in the
shoe store encourages Andy to go
the limit with his credit, and he,
therefore, buys an automobile, eve
mig clothes, a high silk hat, a hand
Some diamond and an expensive rope
of pearls.
"A certain young heiress in the
town invites Andy's attentions, and
he takes her to many select parties
where he has been most generously
invited. Just at the peak of his star
dom, however, his uncle suddenly
gets well and announces that he can
nnot leave his fortunes in the hands
so reckless an individual as his
nephew has proved to be. He subse-
quently disinherits poor Andy, and
all his coveted purchases are sudden
1y taken back, even the handsome
pearl necklace resting serenely upon
the lovely throat of hiA fance. and
the exquisite diamond on her finger
are ruthlessly demanded.
Andy, shame-faced and downcast,
must return to the store where his
rival, who is the son Of his employer,
uses his opportunity to taunt him
and infiict unpleasant experiences
upon him.
His first dash is at the rival. He
buys out the store. Then he finds
that the little bookkeeper, who
stayed by him in the zero hour, was
really the girl of his choice, and he
marries her while his former fiancee
looks on longingly.

laughs, a touch Of melodrama, and
Is altogether a happy choice for sum
