The corner chair, also of oak, with a mat
seat, comes from the same period, and is a de-
lightful complement TO the table.
The Queen Anne chair, covered with tap
estry, edged with fringe, with its Gabrielle legs
and hoofed feet, dates back to about ITO.
All of these pieces are delightful, especially
if they are authentic, but one sees many copies
at prices within the reach of most pocketbooks,

not, you have hattered, and that does not harm.

A Fire-Fighting Reserve.

Fire Chief Watson calls attention to
the fact that Washington. though now
sufficiently equipped in fire defense to
meet the ordinary and even in some
measure the extraordinary require
rlentS, is without adequate reserves. The
blazes that occurred Monday night and
Tuesday morning revealed the fact that
the Capital cannot cope with a series Of
fires occurring within a brief space of
tins, such situation as may arise, as
this experience shows. Eight or nine
machines are needed TO supply this de-
fciency. ard it is proposed to urge
that an item he carried in the appro-
priation bill soon 10 be presented 10 the
House to meet this need.
When the message We need help"
flashed over to Baltimore Tuesday
morning that city responded by sending
its own reserve force to Washington
The dispatch Of the ten companies did
no; reduce Balt:-nore's equipment be-
low the point Of normal necessity. Had
the situation been reversed, with Balti-
mere calling for help. as il has on TWO
occasions in the past, 1t would have
been necessary TO deplete the Capitals
fire-hehting force to the danger point.
OF course, the desired assistance would
have been given. however Wssh.neton's
cefenses NAV have been weakened.
As the situation stands. washington's
fire-hghting reserves lie in Alexandra,
the other suburban communities and
Baltimore. The other night they saved
the situation here But IL there had
been major fires ir these localities, the
help needed by Washington could not
have been sent. and the Capita! would
hare suffered sorely.
