Jacobean Furniture.

Furniture periods are interesting to
the shopper not only because they re-
veal particular styles. but also because
they lead to definite types of furniture.
Jacobean, for example is a heavy and
sturdy type Of furniture.
Jacobean furniture is still a good
buy for the shopper who seeks pieces
/. of sturdy shape and build. The chairs
are especially strong. The real Jaco-
bean models should have plain stretch
ers connecting the legs of chairs and
tables, the stretcters being placed near
The floor. In antique pieces the shop
per win find that the front stretcher Is
quite worn,
Where furniture must be moved
about, Jacobean is recommended unless
Pts weight is a disadvantage. The join
ing joint pieces are square blocks, anc
of course they are solid and substan
fial If you wish 10 have armchaiIS
IN your JacObean room the chairs viii
have TO be Of another period. Skirts
were voluminous when this type OF
furniture was designed and the chairs
are consequently armless.
Frequently Jacobean furniture IS
sold with bare wooden seats and backs
but these may be softeued and ever
beautified by removable cushions OF
Eelvets and brocades Cane seats an6
backs are also obtainable in this period
'and they are suited to the small room
sarving is found, of course, on most Of
the pieces.
Those shoppers who have decided OF

legs and stretchers are decorated witt
spiral turns BY the way, the table il
also called Cromwellian, but it is gate

going game at Diamonds, but could
reasonably hope to save game at no
trump by passing and leading his suit.
Salient Points of the Play.
Trick 8. East could not profitably
continue with diamonds, as to do so
would sacrifice a tenace position with
this suit. His natural shift was to
hearts, in answer to his partners dis
card of a probably intermediate card
of that suit.
Trick 4. With no entry in dummy
other than in the suit itself, Declarer
plays low in dummy on the first lead
of clubs, relying upon subsequent
finesse on the second round to make
the suit.
Trick II. East, being marked with
the ace of diamonds and two spades,
North puts him ina with a diamond,
forcing him to lead up to North's
spade tenace, insuring certain game.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS,
Food Specialist.

Today's mail brings me the prize
letter! Here is a man who appeals
to me to help him convince friend
of the value of apples. He says:
This friend tells me she never eats
apples, simply because she does not
| like them" Then the writer is good
enough to say that If / give him some
good reasons for eating apples he
thinks it will help him convince his
friend of their value.
This is a privilege. Here are some
OF the reasons why my correspondent S
| friend should get over her dislike for
such a wholesome fruit.
In the first place, apples help
| enormously in the important work of
| balancing the diet as regards acid and
alkaline foods. There is scarcely
any one today who does not know that
unless this part of the work of bal
ancing the diet is taken care of there
| Will be trouble. Point one in favor
| of the apple!
| Second, apples furnish food lime, al
| though not in such large quantities as
some other fruits and vegetables This
| food lime is absolutely essential if our
bones are to be kept firm and our
| teeth in good shape. Score two for
| the apple!
! phosphorous than lime, and If our
| bodies do not receive from the food
. eaten sufficient PHOSPHORUS, every
one Of the living cells of which they
are composed would have its life cur
tailed. If phosphorous were with
drawn entirely, you may draw your
own conclusions as toewhat would hap
pen to the bodily cells. Score three
for the apple!
Next, apples contain more than
trace of the important food iron. with
out which the blood will not have suf-
| whole will not be kept in working
OF the apple.
| Finally, apples contain a certain
amount Of the pulk that is necessary
| to keep the intestines active and the
! body free from waste. IL we were to
try to sum up in a few words all that
apples will 90 for us, we might eX-
press it this way. A generous use Of
| apples in the diet will help to ward
| off most of the diseases that are COM
| monty supposed to come with old age,
such as kidney and liver troubles, in
Guiding rheumatism.
| And this means that while they are
performing this service for us, they
are also helping to keep every organ
| in the body in good working order for
our daily lives. When we remember
| that just to get one organ out of order
is to make us more or less miserable,
| the case for the apple may perhaps
| rest here.

is enjoying a decided vogue, but it has
not become so popular as to be COM
monplace. One Of the prominent
French dressmakers has used brace
let's Of wooden beads in lieu of cuffs
on some of her new frocks, and links
of wood also form collars to add to
some of these frocks.
Bracelets are even more fashionable
than ever and well dressed women no
longer confine themselves to slave
bracelets Of gold, jade, onyx and
other stones. Among some of the new
frocks there are sleeves trimmed with
bracelets. A half-dozen silver or gold
bracelets are clasped around the wrist
to look like cuffs on some of the new
frocks. In Paris at present there is a
decided vogue for bracelets and neck
laces of fine Bohemian beads that
look like diamonds or emeralds or
other colored stones. They are strung
on white cord--or preferably on fine
silver .chain-and are considered the
appropriate ornament to wear with
plain little georgette or satin daytime
frocks.
Since snakesllin is. stin so popular
it is not strange that gold bracelets
and necklets of snake formation have
been revived.
IF you are planning to take advan-
tage of low Spring and Summer prices
at the furriers' you may be interested
to know that the short fur coat is
coming back into fashion. Most of
these short coats are made in wrist
length, the thinner furs being used.

are among the furs often used for this
purpose.
