THE best known feature of design of this pc.
Rod is the Gabrielle leg with club foot.
This leg is extremely simple and graceful, but
difficult and costly to produce since each piece
must be carved by hand. Beautifully grained
walnut veneers are used on this suite of ten
pieces which, through joint purchases with fifty
leading stores, we are able to offer at $3.50.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
By MARY ELrzABErn ALLEN.

Perhaps you missed reading the In
teresting news items about the confer
ence on home building and home own
ership called by President Hoover.
One fact was brought out clearly.
That fact is that one reason more
women do not decide in favor Of own
ing their homes Is because Of the high
cost Of financing their purchases.
When putting the question, should
one own or rent, 1t Is usually assumed
that one can buy q home economically.
Unfortunately this Is not always fact
At times and In certain localities the
cost Of buying ones home, quite apart
from the purchase price, Is prohibitive.
This Is because interest rates are high,
and one Is compelled to pay exorbitant
bonuses for second and third mortgages.
At last there Is going to be an at
tempt to provide proper credit facili-
motive behind this Is to furnish some
relieve periodic slumps in the building
industry
It's the effect rather than the cause,
however, that will interest thousands
Of housewives. It will be comforting to
think one can actually build q home to
suit ones tastes and fulfill ones hopes
without jeopardizing the family for
tunes entirely.
Women who have temporized until
now might do well to investigate costs,
both building and credit, at this time.
In many communities 1t will prove par
ticularly advantageous to build. A COM

then there is real estate, including land
of any and every sort, houses and any
and all buildings erected on such
premises
To business men and women these
terms and what they mean are very
familiar. but the fionennaker Is somes
times sadly unaware Of them. Trouble
often arises from lack Of these mean
ings and claSsihcations and misunder-
standings are fruitful sources of family
wrangiings So let me advise women
to become acquainted with such terms
not In any aggressive way, but as q
subject of mutual interest in q home.
Turn to one feature of personal in
ventorying that should be attended to
twice a year by every woman. Many
do attend to 1t as part Of routine work
without thinking Of it in any special
terms. But we shall call it wardrobe
anventorying.
To make a wardrobe inventory should
not be hard, for the average person.
It consists of setting down what one fas
and noting its condition. The woman
who has closets and bureau drawers
crowded with articles may find 1t dim
cult, but 1t is she who should know
what she has that is just right for he
20 wear. Probably much of the stuff is
IN need of msnding, is not quite In the

Your Baby and Mine

Being with her baby constantly Is
impossible for any mother. Even II
possible, 1t Is far from desirable. Babies
should become accustomed to strangers
and accept their attentions gratefully
to prevent becoming too firmly attached
to one person.
The mother who is nursing her baby
must have some means of nourishine
him for the hours in which she is
absent; relief bottles I'LL that niche
graciously. A relief bottle Is an occa-
sional bottle offered to baby who al
other times Is nurSed. Because 1t Is
used only in an emergency, its actual
contents need not be figured as care
fully as If baby were getting his whole
sustenance. from bottles. 1t should
taste good, however, and be of exactly
the right warmth, or baby win disdain
1t and leave his poor attendant in the
throes of despair. Most amateurs who
take care of babies are certain that
one missed meal win reduce baby to the
point of starvation.
The usual rule that baby can take
two more ounces than his age In months
isn't bad one to follow. Thus II
baby Is { months old, that one bottle
may contain six ounces of formula; II
he Is 5 months old, seven ounces. Eight
ounces is the maximum, however, for
this amount Is just about the limit OF
baby's stomach capacity for fluid al
any age.
especially when baby isn't used to
milk, 1t Is an excellent practice to boil
all the milk given him. Boiled milk
Is easier to digest and we don't want
baby upset merely because his mother
has gone to q party or on q shopping
expedition. Bon the milk before meas
uring 1t. Then measure 1t after boiling
and add an equal quantity of boiled
water. AS mothers milk Is sweeter than
cows milk and baby needs this extra
sugar, the relief bottle should also be
sweetened. One and one-haf level tea
spoons Of cane or some other sugar Is
about the correct amount for O six
ounce formula Of milk and water. One
level teaspoon may be used If there is
as little as four ounces and two level
teaspoons for an eight-ounce bottle.
We offer q leafiet of Relief Bottles, .
which Is convenient for the mother
whose memory is treacherous. Any
reader may obtain this leafiet for q
self addressed. stamped envelope sent
with her request to the "You Baby
and Mine" department Of Thu news
paper.
There are two ways in which the
bottle may be warmed. The water may
quite hot at feeding time to the ice cold
milk. This formula may be mixed and
put on Ice Then half MI pint sized
enamel cup of water. Stand a spoon in
it and lean the bottle against the spoon
so. that the bottle does not stand fiat
on the bottom Of the cup Put on fire.
When water Is boiling shake bottle and
test. The milk should be Just warm,
never hot.

Royal Murders and Murderers
Tiberius Liked to See His Victims Die.
BY }. p. GLASS.

The Emperor Tiberius was at first
mild and lenient. But he became de-
bauched and his innate cruelty, which
he had concealed, came to the surface.
He condemned untold numbers Of
persons to death for offenses that were
not offenses. It was not justice, 1t was
murder.
At Capri still is shown the place of
execution, where prisoners were con-
demned to die after. the most studied
tortures. Tiberius watched as they were
thrown over great precipice into the
sea. At the bottom, soldiers waited with
poles to break their bones and see that
they drowned.
On the occasion of the death Of his
diSSipated son, Drusus, who had been
poisoned by his wife, Livilla, man who
once had played the host to Tiberius at
Rhodes came up to Rome. He went to
see Tiberius, because, on the occasion
of the latter's visit, he had left cordial
invitation.
Furnishing all those connected with
the death of Drusus, Tiberius forgot the
identity of his friend from Rhodes, and
had him put to the torture as one con-
cerned in the inquiry. When he found
out his mistake, he did not apologize.
He ordered the man killed so he could
not reveal the injustice done him.
His trials of accused persons were so
unjust that people stabbed themselves
to death rather than be Inundated by q
public condemnation.
Those he found guilty were thrown
down the Demonian steps into the Tiber.
Twenty, including women and boys,
were killed in this manner in single
day.
He joked about death as something
trivial. Upon hearing that Carnulius,
an accused man, had committed suicide,
he exclaimed, "Carnulius has escaped
me-
To a prisoner who requested SPEEDY
death he replied, "Ah, my friend, you
are not yet restored to favor"

manicus, his nephew, Emperor Of the
East, q great and good man. Jealousy
led Tiberius to have him poisoned. The
wife of Germanicus came to Rome and
accused the poisoner, Piso, who, under
public odium, killed himself Every one
knew that Piso had been only the tool
of Tiberius. The latter, thinking the
presence of Agrippina in Rome con-
slant reproach to him. banished her to
the Island Of Pandataria, where she
would starve to death.
Germanicus had three children, Nero
Drusus and Caius. Tiberius imprisoned
and starved Nero and Drusus, but al
lowed Caius to live. Caius, like HIM
self, was vicious. Tiberius wished him
to be his successor on his death, so
that Rome might have an emperor more
cruel and tyrannical than he and thus
him more favorably.
