There is a very real reason why
chairs for Summer use should be diff
ferent from those most desirable for
cold weather. This does not mean that
a house should have different chairs
to use in each of these seasons, but
that the chairs most enjoyed at one
time are those least likely to be COM
Portable in the other. Therefore, when
furnishing a residence to be used for
cold weather only (where families go
away during the Summer), chairs of
one style should be selected. If the
house to be furnished is one used in
the Summer only, the second style
should be picked out It is where
houses are used equally for Summer
and Winter dwellings, that the two
types of chairs should be combined.
First of all, what is the outstand-
ing difference between the two kinds?
We find it consists in what we may
.term--in lieu Of a better one-the
shielding qualities of the chairs. In
cold weather the chair should in a
measure act as a shield from draughts.
In early days when central heating
was not used, and rooms were
draughty, this idea was catered to.
Backs Of easy chairs and of ordinary
settles were high and arms were fire.
Quently solid either of the wood itself
or with the frame completely covered
with upholstery. Today the latter is
the approved method. But in chairs
of yesterday and today we find lux
ury in Winter styles stress this pro-
tecting quality.
Why Willow Is Good.
In chairs for hot weather what is
sought is a lack of this very element.
An opportunity for air to circulate as
freely as possible about a persons
body is desirable. There is comfort
in GOODNESS.

Sammy asked himself. IF it were
one of our own people Of the Green
Forest I shouldn't think Of such a
thing. But it isn't. It's stranger,
and everybody in the Green Forest is

hunters"
So Sammy Jay opened his mouth
and began to scream at the top Of his
lungs:
Thief. Thief! Thief
Now, of all those hunters who were
tramping through that forest Farmer
Browns Boy was the only one to heed
the voice of Sammy Jay. The instant
he heard Sammys voice he stopped to
listen.
do you hear that?" said he to
Farmer Brown.
Eyes, I hear it," said Farmer Brown
also stopping TO listen.
do you know what 1t means?'
asked Farmer Browns Boy.

Farmer Brown.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.
Reducing Bust and Back,

Dear Miss Leeds.-My greatest wor-
ry is overweight. The surplus fat is
carried principally around my bust,
waist and abdomen. I am feet 2
inches tall, rs years old and weigh 1870
pounds. I teach school and also at
tend night school. I stand much of
the time while teaching and walk a
mile to school every morning.
LAURA S.
Answer.-You are only about 9
pounds over the average for your age
and height, but l would advise you to
try to check this tendency toward
overweight before it gets the better of
you. Diet and exercise, systematically
followed, should rid you of the excess
fat in months time. Cut your break
fast down to one orange, a dish of
cereal and, if you desire. cup of clear
tea or coffee. For luncheon have a
vegetable salad, a cheese sandwich
and some fruit. For dinner you may
include cup of clear soup, medium
sized potato, one helping of lean meat,
two kinds of succulent vegetables like
spinach, squash, tomatoes. carrots.
beets or cabbage, and for dessert have
fruit gelatine. fresh berries or a sim
pie pudding. Spend at least 10 min
utes both night and morning doing
trunk-twisting and leg-raising eXer-
cises. Please send stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope for my leaflets on
How to Lose Weight" and Beauty
Exercises" The latter gives exercises
for the bust. 1t is not always possible
to reduce the bust, but if you lose
weight all over, this part of your body
will share in the reduction to some ex-
tent. You should walk four miles a
day and take up some sort of outdoor
sport if You wish to have a supple,
youthful figure. LOIS LEEDS.

An Unsymmetrical Figure.

Dear Miss Leeds.-In preparing for
the coming Summer season I wish to
ask a few questions. "a My thighs
measure 10 inches and 20 inches, re-
spectiyely. Which one is nearest the
correct figure and how can improve
the other one? am 10 years old, 5
feet 6 inches tall and I weight 12O
mounds. (2) My bust measures Bly,
inches How can I develop it? 81
How far above the knee would a girls
bathing suit come to be proper?
MADELINE.
Answer.-(1) You are about 10
mounds underweight, my dear, for
your age and height. The 20-inch
thigh is the normal one. 1t is not I'M
usual to have one side of the BODY
smaller than the other. You should
build up your weight by eating more
nourishing food and take special eX-
ercjses for the smaller side so that by
vacation time your body will be In bet
for proportion. Your problem is to
stimulate the growth of flesh on the
thin leg by gentle exercises. High
kicking and leg raising to front and
side will help you. (2) The breast and
hack strokes in swimming will help
develop your bust provided you also
give your body enough nourishing
food and rest. Please send stamped
self-addressed envelope for my leaflets
on GLOW to Gain Weight" and Beau
tv Exercises" Try to develop a "a
inch bust. (3) The length of bath
ing suit depends somewhat on where
YOU are going. Some bathing resorts
are more conservative than others.
think that four inches above the knee
is short enough in jersey suit for a
girl of your height; the dressy silk
suits are usually longer.

Taxes are to be discussed with new

This is a sway conducive to misap-

Envy and jealousy will be strongly

1T means" said Farmer Browns
Boy, that Sammy Jay has seen the
fellow we are after. I know Sammy
well enough to know that. He is over
by those lodges. When we get over
there We'll find the fellow we are
after in one of those caves. We ought
to have thought of those before. But,
then, I don't believe he was there
before
"Thief! Thief! Thiefr screamed
Sammy Jay, more excited than ever.
The nearer the hunters approached
the louder Sammy screamed. He
didn't fly away now. You see, that
shrewd head Of his had reasoned out
that these hunters wouldn't harm any,
body who belonged in the Green For
est. He felt sure now that it was
perfectly safe for him to remain.
So it was that when Farmer
Browns Boy came in sight of the
lodges the first thing he looked for was
Sammy Jay. Sammy was flying about
from one branch to another just above
certain place on the lodges, and
there he was screaming as only he
can. AS soon as he saw Farmer
Browns Boy he screamed harder than
ever, if that were possible. 1t was a
wonder he didn't split his throat.
There is an entrance to cave
right under where Sammy is" said
Farmer Browns Boy to Farmer
Brown. "If I know anything about
it, Sammy saw that fellow go in
there. That is what he is trying to
tell US. / think we had better call the
rest of the men here and decide what
to do
So Farmer Brown called, and pres
emily all those hunters were gathered
around him. Farmer Browns Boy
led the way over to the entrance to
the cave. 1t was rather a small en-.
trance. One of the hunters examined
it very carefully.
"He is in there" he cried trium
phantly at last, and held up yellow
hair which he had found on one Of the
rocks.

DIARY OF A

Friday Night.
The baby's cough is a lot better to-
day, and it was big relief to me, but
Joan and the doctor are swell pair
Of wet blankets, and they both said
that If you are coming down with
whooping cough, why your cough will
get better for a day or two just before
you whoop.
said, "Ill bet the baby just had a
bad cold and is getting BETTER" and
Joan said, you know what the doctor
told us-that the cought usually seems
better just before the whooping cough
sets in" / said, Yes, and it's easy
to tell why he said it, too. Five dol
lars every time that bird comes in
the house.
Joan said, "Oh, that's silly. You
know he is a good doctor, and one of
my baby books says the same thing
he said"
Joan said, eff he really has whoop-
ing cough, I suppose we can at least
be thankful that he is such a sturdy
kid, and besides, they have a serum
now that makes it a lot easier"
said, well, why don't we give him
some of the serum now and make it
easier YETI" and she said, Il asked the
doctor that, but he said it would be in
plenty of time When we found out def
nitely whether the baby had whooping
cough, and If he hasn't, we would only
be going to a needless expense by CIV
ing him the serum when it wouldn't
do him any good
I said, What has expense got to do
with it If we can make whooping
cough a lot lighter for the poor little
kid?" and Joan said, "Well, it just
