Then in 1790 he went to London, where he found even a greater pro- erty, but where he also made a name for himself as a designer of furniture that will last as long as the world loves beautiful things. The fifteen remaining years of his life were tra- gically sad. Sheraton’s nowledge was gained through years of hardship and pri- vation He lived to see his chosen art reach its zenith and then to see it fall away. He had scarce perfected his creations when they were over- whelmed by a wave of bad taste that swept much beauty from English furniture. When Sheraton reached London shop, much less to employ skilled niture, he wrote about dt, varying it occasionally - by. writing sermons or tracts. He made little money, but many enemies, for he had a bitter tongue.

Nowadays proposals are less formal, but engage ments are no less binding. In fact, a betrothal is regarded as almost as sol- emn and binding as the wedding 1itself. On every possible occasion German lovers appear arm in arm, and the cus- tom is not confined to one class alone. Peasants walk thus, and princes and princesses follow the popular custom.— London Standard, Horrible Dueling. A particularly terrible kind of duel was fought on one occasion in Mexico. The opponents were an Indian settler and a rich cattle owner. The weapons chosen were butchers’ knives, and it was settled that each combatant was to hold out, his hand in turn;to have one of his fingers cut off. The first to show the least sign of suffering pain was to have a bullet put through his heart by the other.” The"Indian had the first cut and amputated the cattle- owner’s first finger at a single blow. The Indian’s first injury was the loss of a thumb, and he likewise remained as impassive as marble. This horri- ble drama went on until each: com- batant had lost. four digits. Then the cattleman’s second became so fright- ened at the ghastly sight that he shot the Indian dead and ended the fight. A Golfer’s- Discovery.

Black published Sheraton’s ency- clopedia of furniture. This brought Sheraton some fame, but little food. The big work showed the g-ren't range and varfety of Sheraton’s art. ‘We love his furniture for its fine- 1y curved surfaces, graceful Sweeps of side board and cabinets reflecting the light. Aside from its ‘beauty, Sheraton’s furniture was essentially practical—sometimes in most origi- nal fashion. For example, he invent- ed a summer bed divided in the cen- ter 80 as to give a grater circulation of air. There was likewise a hollow- front sideboard that became popular for the ease with which a butler could reach across for a stray glass or piece of china ware, Possibly his “conversation chair” was the most original of all, designed as it was for the beaux of Georglan times whose coatails were too costly to be sat up- on. The proper position in this chair was for the sitter to face the back of the chair, with his arm resting on the top rail, so that his coattails could hang. The so-called “Pouch Table,” much beloved today by neat housewives, was Sheraton’s inven- tion. It was a work table with a pouch of silk on each side. Besides his great bock, Sheraton got up a handbook for the benefit of his brother craftsmen, in which he gave in a helpful manner minute de- scriptions, of his ‘various pieces. The spirit. that prompted him to do this Wwas the. finest thing in Sheraton’s How to Treat a Wire Cut. Never let a wire cut on your stock go unattended.
