Selecting Appropriate Easy Chairs BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. AMONG THE MANY KINDS OF There a into iany points to be taken | consideration when sefecting | easy chairs. The size of the room, | the style of 4te decoration, the color | acheme, the kind of wood, whether the chair is especially chosen for a man or a woman, and if so, the stat- ure of the persons; all must be taken into account; and then there is the workmanship, with all that that im- plies of guality of covering, grade of springe. kind of stuffing. ete. Let us consider two or three styles of ea chairs in vogue today and their re- iation to rooms and some points about thelr workmanship. In each instance {hese chairs are the sort that men ike. Overstuffed easy chairs are decid- v in evidence. There is & luxuri- ess about them, with their sev- eral sets of springs (sometimes even in the arms), and their down-filled seats and backs. Consider carefully the size of your room, however, be- fore deciding in favor of such ample overstuffed models. They take up a surprising amount of space, and unless combined consistently with ar- ticles of furniture, they dwarf the other piaces and stand forth so promi- nently that they seem out of place. In large rooms, with large furniture, overstuffed easy chairs are decidedly at home. They are mot chosen for any particular grace of line or beauty of contour, but because they are luxurious. Comfortable Chalrs. They are chairs for comfort. One sinks into the depths and does not wish to be disturbed. Nor is it easy | 10 rise from such a chair, though it is cory to remain In its soft, springy cushions. It should be remembered that overstuffed casy cthairs, unless they are actually fine in springs and <oft with their cushions, are not nec essarily “comfortable easy chairs See that the springs are ring: d that the batks are soft. Sit in (the chairs, try them and know that they are right before buying Another Type. Just now the Coxwell chair is en- joying a decided vogue. These chairs are not so cumbersome as overstuffed 1 ASY CHAIRS IN VOGUE TODAY chairs, because the arms are not large and are of wood only partially upholstered and the backs are com- paratively low. The backs and seats may beas downy soft as the over- stuffed chalrs, for the finest of them have the double sets of springs in the seats, one in the chair itself and one in the séparate cushion seat, or else the chair springs are topped with deep, sumptuous down cushions. Fre- quently the chairs have down cush- ions attached to the upholstered spring backs. Inexpensive models come with correct frames, and with soft seats and backs, but minus the cushions. There is nothing overpow- ering about one, and it may, there- fore, fit in admirably with living- room furniture-and without cramping other things. Fireside Chairs. Fireside and wing chairs have i creased in popularity so declded that they are now made with low backs as well as high, and in small models as well as the large fireside chairs. It is possible to inciude the smaller wing chairs that is not la and heavy, and yet opriate even in com- nall rooms. Wing chairs high backs are delightful for older folk who do not wish draughts of ir to blow against them, and who find the angles of the wings and the back very comfortable head rests. Men _enjoy wing chairs, especially when by open fires. Then their other name, fireside chairs, impresses you as felicitous and correct Modified Wing Chatrs. Wing chairs are frequently so modi- fled and adapted that the “wings"” are little more than side pieces trans- forming- slightly curved backs into attractive angular ones. These may not be o luxurious as the completely overstuffed models, with their mar- velous softness, but both kinds are classed among the easy chairs. It may be added that the simpler wing chair still has the desfred quality that is known as “style,” and which is so satisfactory whether in furni- ture or costumes.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are benign during the morning and after- noon and favor all Sunday observ- ances and recreations. In the eve- ning the conditions are adverse and denete dissensions, discussion and disagreement. In order that these irable difficulties may be avoid- care must be exercised in order void loss of temper. Poise and equilibrium must be maintained if | unpleasant consequences — especially in the home—are to be guarded against. A child born tomorrow will be quite normal, and, although it will be subject to the ordinary ailments of infancy, these will not deter it from attaining physical normaley. Its disposition, whi ordinarily an ble and gay, at other times, be morose and excessively introspective. In its happy moments it will seek the companionship of its mates and comrades. At other times it will seek solitude and reject the associa- tion of its friends. Its character will be a strong one, and it will be both loyal and affectionate, especially to the members of its own family. ery effort must be made in ear vouth to cure this child of its morbid tendencies, as these, if persisted in. will grow and eventually overshadow the bright and happy times to which like all human beings, it is heir. If tomorrow is vour birthday, vou are very affectionate, although changeable. You seem more disposed to be the perennial victimm of violent infatuations than the beneflciary of a sincere love. No lover is more at- tentive than you; ione more per- sistent, and you reall persuade yourself and others that “this time it is 1 love.” No mooner, how- ever, de you anticipa success than Qisillusionment comes. Marriage at an early age for such a one is cal- culated to bring around & sequel that is neither desirable nor productive of happiness. In your work, foo, you cannot con- centrate on one thing and stick at it until accomplishment is the result You jump from one thing to another, and no good purpose is served. You are by no means lazy, nor do you lack ambition. Yeu are wanting in the power of concentration and what is better known as “stick-at-it-ive- ness 1f You could resolve to con- centrate your affections on oné per- son, and your efforts on one task, your cup of pleasure would be full to overflowing.

Wants to Marry Before He Can Afford It to Defeat Another. [DEAR MISS DIX: 1am 50 vears old. People say that I look 35, but I feel as If I were 105, and this is the cause: 1 am married to a widower vears old, who has several children. They treat me abominably, and if I try to correct one of them he knocks me down. He never speaks to me; he never gives me @ cent of money, not even a 2-cent stamp. He will not even mail a letter for me. He never permits me to go anywhere, not even to a neighbor's; and the only clothes I have are the cheapest and commonest things he can buy to cover me, and he picks them out. I am not permitted to buy them myself I have no money, no friends, no family to turn to. What shall T do SECOND WIFE, Answer: 1 should think that you would not need any one to tell you what to doin a case like this, and that you would leave your brute of a husband and vour miserable home before another day rolled over vour head You can be certain of one thing, and that is that wherever you go and whatever you do, you can’t be worse off than you are now. You are nothing but & domestic slave, doing the cooking and housework foe a family, getting no pay for it and not even decent treatment. If you would dv the same work for any one else besides vour husband, vou would get good wages and kindness and consideration, for there is no one to whom we are quite so polite as we are to a competent cook Don't feel that you have no way to make a living. The woman who knows how to cook and do housework has a trade at her fingers’ ends by which she can support herself in comfort the world over 1t is a trade that is never overcrowded, and in which the demand is always greater than the supply. And a woman of 50 is young enough and strong enough to make a fresh start in the world and find much pleasure and happiness in life If a woman has a houseful of little children that she eannot support by her own efforts, it may be necessary for her to endare the brutality of a mean husband for the sake of providing fpod and shelter for her little ones. But 2 woman who has no children is free and independent, and she can leave if her husband doesn’t treat her decently. There is no merit in enduring an unnecessary martyrdom, so don't stay with a husband who beats you. unless you enjoy being beaten DOROTHY DIX IDL'AT: DOROTHY DIX: I make my home with my married sister, and our life together is quiet, refined and even. Scme time ago a man friend of my brother-in-law visited our home and professed to fall in love with me, telling me that I was the first woman that he had ever cared for and asking e to become his wife. Now I learn that he has a wife and child in a distant and this knowledge has robbed me of my peace of mind and my faith trust in man. What shall I do, for I had begun to love him? ELEANOR. Answer: 1 siiould think that finding out what a dastard the man is would be & prompt and eflicient antidote for any tender feeling you might have begun to herish toward him. Just have the courage to look him squarely in the face and see what a yellow cur he is, and your admiration for him will shrivel up and die. Certainly no man can be guilty of a more unprincipled and despicable act than deliberately to win a girl's heart when he knows that he cannot marry her, and that the sequel to their love affair must be tears, and misery, and disappointinent for her. Tt is a cruel and dishonorable enough thing for a man to do when the girl knows that he is married; but there is some slight palliation of his crime in her knowledge and the fact that he is giving her a square deal in a crooked ganie, and that she knows the rizk she is taking. But the man’s offense is unforgivable when he poses as a single man and tries to lure a girl into a marriage that will end in shame for her and throw her out into the world disgraced through no fault of her own. It is not strange that this man’s conduct has shaken your faith in men, but it is not fair to condemn the whole sex because one has failed you, for there are good and honorable men just as there are mean and tricky ones. Because one apple in a barrel is rotten there is no proof that all apples are rotten DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I am a young man 25 vears old. but I am not making enough to support a wife. There is a girl 1 am very much in love with and she is in love with me. Would you advise me to marry her right away? I am afraid that if I postpone the matter some other man will get her. PHY Answer: I heard a man, under siniilar circumstances, say that he had just as good a right to starve a wife as any other man had. 8o he married the girl, but the scheme didn't seem to work out very well. Evidently the lady didn’t enjoy being starved, for after a few weeks of bread and cheese and kisses she left her husband and went back to her father, where she was sure of three square meals a day. As you ask my advice, I most emphatically warn until you can afford it. It is a crime for a man to mar assured way of supporting a family. debt soon come to hate each other. A wife is as much of a luxury as an automobile. the price before you try to set one up. (Copyright.)

No one seems to be predicting a season of great popularity for the tailored suit this Spring. At most its interest will be short lived, says one authority. Others seem to think that only the woman who has a very large wardrobe will be Interested in this BEIGE TAILORED STREET SUIT, WITH INVERTED BOX PLEAT IN SKIRT. type of garment. It seems to be a garment for the special occasion, not for general utility. The ensemble costume that combines a frock and wrap is of more widespread appeal. But there are illutrious exponents of the tailored suit—both among makers of women's clothes and among well-dressed women. There is O'Rossen of Paris, whose name Blacky Provided For. Rieat be he whose kindly deed Supplies a sufferiug neighbor's need —Blacks the Crow. Farmer Brown's Boy stopped running as he saw Blacky the Crow fly out of the henhouse and watched him disap- pear in the Green Forest, cawing as if he thought himself very clever. “Well,” sald Farmer Brown's Boy, “I never before have known Blacky to trust himself inside of anything. He must have been hungry. In fact, he must have been almost starving. Nothing less woul have made him bold enough to walk right into that henhouse. I hadn't thought of Blacky. Of course, with everything frozen over he must find it mighty hard work to get a mouthful. He saw that, henhouse door open and saw the hens picking up corn. He was $0 hunghy that he just took a chance. Tl fix him.” Now, that sounded like a threat. It sounded as if Farmer Brown's Boy meant to do something to Biscky the Crow. He didn't. He intended to do @omething for Blacky. He went straight into the barn, and when he came out he brought with him several ears of corn. These he took over to the fence, some distance away, and tied them to one of the fence posts. ““There,”” sald he, “that black rascal will be sure to find these, for those sharp eyes of his don't miss anything. He can eat over here in comfort. Tt ien't near enough to the house to make him nervous. I guess that while this fcy crust lasts 1 will have to keep Blacky supplied with food. The Green Forest wouldn't be right without Blacky the Crow. No, sir, it wouldn't be right. Blacky is as much a part of the Green Forest as the trees themselves.” Now, though Blacky had disappeared from Farmer Brown's Boy's sight he himself could see Farmer Brown's Boy. He saw Farmer Brown’s Boy doing some- thing at that post, and he became very curious. As eoon as Farmer Brown's Boy had gone back to the house Blacky flew to a tree where he could see that post better. He blinked his sharp eyes several times. “That looks to me very much like corn,” said Blacky to himself. “Yes, sir. that is corn or I don't know corn when 1 see it. But what did Farmer Brown's Boy leave it on that fence post for? He never has done such a thing before. There is something queer about this. BEDTIME STORIE cannot be left out of any discussion of the tailored suit. His latest no- tion of the smart tailored suit re- quires two contrasting materials—a BY THORNTON W. BURGESS My, but T would like some of that corn this very minute ! For a long time he sat in that treé watching. First, he would look at the corn, and then he would look over at Farmer Brown's house. Blacky the Crow was suspicious. He suspected a trick of some kind. He tried to make up his mind to fly away from there and think no more about that corn. But he couldn't. No, sir, he couldn’t. After a while he ventured to fiy slowly over that fence post. His sharp eyes saw the string with which those ears of corn HE GUESSED THAT FARMER BROWN'S BOY HAD PUT THAT CORN OUT THERE ESPECIALLY FOR HIM. were tied to the post. That made him still more suspicious. He flew to another tree, and there for a long time he sat silent and watchful. But Farmer Brown’s Boy didn’t appear. And at last Blacky made up his mind to have a closer look at that corn. He flew over and alighted on that fence post. Even then he hesitated for some time to try that corn. But finally he began to pick at it. Then he made up his mind that there wasn't any trick. He made a shrewd guess. He guessed that Farmer Brown's Boy had put that corn out there especially for him. “Caw! Caw!” shouted Blacky joyously. Farmer Brown's Boy, heering it, knew that that was Blacky's way of saying thank you. (Copyright, 1936, by T. W.
