Since they are of such universal Smportance in rooms and since many of the rooms are not large, it is well te know of tables tha heet adapted to space limi ell ag utflitarian needs. For instance. thére are drop-leaf tables of endless ties, with middle lea ves of wide or row proportions. There are hutterfly tablee, which belong 10 the dropleat style. and gate-leg, which are &till an other typs. Then thers are tip tahles in manyv varieties. and card tables. in which one leaf raises at a right angle fnstead of dropping. There are half circle tables. which. placed together form a round-topped table, but which Ao nat need to o in pairs.

WASHINGTON, SUB ROSA The Future. There Is a staté of mind in which we find ourselves fearing the future | 20 that we lose all joy in the present. | This trame of mind i acquired by lack of confidence in ourseives, or in what we call our luck—in our ability | to succeed. We say: "“Oh. ves. évarvthine's all| vight now: but wen't it be awful if this good fortune doean't last” And trom thiz we go on to Imagine | all the dark. terrible thinge which | will happen if our worst fears come | true. We worry and fret and put our- selves in such l6w spirits that it's no wonder we aren't in a position to ward off disaster when it does arrive. The businese girl who starts saying | to herself, “Won't it be horrible if los¢ my job?" gets so worried and anxious about it that she becomes a | nervous, Apprehensive slave, trem- bling at every call from the poss, féar- ing that her dismissal has come. ‘The man who lives in the constant dread of what the nmext year midy bring forth géts in the habit of put- ting AwAy money against the disaster that looms ahead. And aftér a while nothing in life seems 80 important t6 him as the put- ting away of larger and larger sume of money—till he robs himself of all present happiness in order to ward off_the evil beast. the rainy day. Girls who exclaim. "I'm so happy now with John it can't last. Suppose tome one takes him away. then where will T bé?” hecome jealous. suspicious. nervous and watchful. They lose the sweet sense of jov and péacé that should come with real love. They re-| lapse into gloom. They worry con- stantly. To them the future simply means losing John in one way or another. . | Of course, it's quite evident that all these people’s worst imagininge are likely to come true if they keep look- ing for them. If a girl changes from a bright, | happy. capable, efficiént secretary into A trembling, cowering. bowing and| scraping little serf, who never dares #0 stand up for her owm rights. she doesn’t make as big a hit around the office. Sheé's more in danger of losing her job, because she's losing the per- sonality that helped her keep it, In the same way, the girl whe tor tures herself with pictures of her man’s unfaithfulness shows her state | of mind in her actions. She loses that breezy, independent air so at tractive to men and becomes over fearfully eager to way. Of course, if he fell in love with her hécause of what she was. he won't enjoy the change in her. She'll stand a smaller chance of keeping him the longer she worrles. | Fear of the ruture does two ba | things—it destroys happiness in the | present and it very often makes th | thing feared a dread reality.

Especially as none of the meén vou Are con vou half as pleasant a Iot in life ag vou now have. There are two logical reasons for A woman marrying.

The other is that thé man can give her e craves and which she cannot get for herself. But for a woman 16 marry just to be a-marrying. for her to marry a man she doesn’t love and who is poor is the most idiotic thing that any nit-wit female can do. For marriage even under the hest conditions and whére thére is love to glorify it is hard on a woman. It calls for pérpétual sacrificer and self- abnegation. It bringe sickness and sufféring and the agony of child-bearing. 1t she marriea.a poor man she must work harder and longer hours évéry day than any other laborér on sarth and get no salary envelope at the end of the week.

D AR DOROTHY DI I agree with sverything vou say about mothe in-law going to live with théir daughters-in-law, but haw ahout daughters- in-law coming to6 live with their mothérs-in-law?

Béfore marriagé €he was as sweet as pie and there was nothing she wouldn't do to pléasé his mother, hut aftér marriage she doesn’t feel that she has to he even decently civil to mother-inlaw. I have that kind of a daughter-in.law. and I feel it hard iines that my old age should be made miserable by the impudéncé and insolence of a chit of a girl who forced MOTHER-IN-LAW, P Answer: The rule works hoth ways. It is just as disastrous for the d;:ghlexnln-law to g0 to live with the mother-in-law as it is the other way about. It all comes around to the same point. that no house is big enough for two women, especially when they stand in the relationship of mothér-in-law and daughter-in-law to each other and when. in adAition to tha almost inevitable jealousy over the man who is son and husband t6 them, there ie the confiiet of Aifferent generatione and of different habits and tastés and points of view éngendered by different up-bringing. For the sake of théir own happiness and the salvation of their marriage evéry young couple should bégin married life aloné, with no member of éither family living with them. Nor should they go to live with their familles. When they marry they should be thrown out upon theéir own and made to shift for themeelves. It {8 the way to bring out whatever stréngth | there is in them. If girls and hoys knéw that mother's door would be padlocked and they couldn’t come and sponge on her when théy zot married. it would prevent many a silly and unsuitable match.

This rare old bed, with its elaborate gilding. gives great dig- nity and an atmosphere of medieval sumptuousnese to the loftly room which it graces. The canopy and spread are glowing réd damask. the spread ends being tipped of gold. This réom has been carefully deco- rated to suggest the Italian interior. The walls are plaster, tinted an an-, tique parchment color. The woodwork and doors are rich, dark walnut. At one side is a wide and deep fireplace of limestonée—a very satisfactory American substitute for Italian mar ble. Ovér this mantel a gorgeous tapestry is hung to supply relief to the plain walls. The other furniture in the room is ajso Italian in spirit, being of elabor- ately carved walnut. (Cosright. 102 What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are none too favorable, and although they are not definitely adverse, they are overcast and dull. It is not a day when you will experience any sense of exhilaration, as there will be an en- tire absence of stimulating vibrations. You will, of course, eng: in your customary Sunday observances or récreations. These, however, will not yield the amount of satisfaction that they usually afford. There will pre- vail influences that do not make for peace of mind or happiness, and it he- hooves you to fight this téndency to become dissatisfied and to rise supe- rior to it by the exercise of will power and a resoluteness to be cheerful in spite of an untoward atmosphere. Children born tomorrow will during babyhood flourish in a physical sensa “like the graen bay tree.” This en- couraging condition will, unfortu- nately, not eontinue, and just as soon as they discard their ‘“swaddling clothes’” their troubles will begin. Givén, however, proper care and skill- ful treatment, they will “win out” and thereafter develop along normal lines and attain a healthy adulthood. In disposition they will be erratic and undependable. They will be highly nervous and nearly always dissatis- fied with surrounding conditions. They will not want what they have, but will never know for a certainty what they do want. Age and experience will not ameliorate this condition, for they will, even in later life, show a disposition “to ery for the moon.” 1f tomorrow I8 your birthday anni- versary, you are an indefatigable worker, fired by worthy ambition and animated by dauntless energy.
