Six hundred and thirteen sets of ma- hogany furniture for use in Army offi- cers’ quarters are now being manufac- tured under a contract let by the! United States Army Quartermaster; Corps, and a complete set of the new | furniture, comprising about 21 pieces | in all, is now on exhibit in the quar- termaster general’s office in the Muni- | tions Building. | | The furniture is to supplement that | already in use, and is not intended for general installation, but only for these | quarters now in need. Several new items are included in the new layout, while the hall divan, a hall tree and bookcase provided for the last 20 years will be eliminated from the furniture list allowed officers in the furnishing of their quarters. | The latest design is considered a great improvement over that provided | in 1908, when an appropriation was | made by Congress to provide such fur- niture for the public Tooms of officers’ messes and quarters. The old furni- ture, although of excellent design and a fine, substantial mahogany, lacked the delicacy to be found in the new —it takes only a min- ute to call out-of- town by telephone. It’s friendly. It's cheap. sets. -—l An attractive dressing table with seat and mirror is an innovation in the Army furniture. Of a fine grain Afri-) can mahogany, with dull brass trim- | mings, the entire set was designed by an expert artist from one of New York's leading establishments. Through the invitation of Brig. Gen. B. F. Cheatham, the quartermaster general of the Army, the New York firm sent one of its ex- pert designers to Washington, where, with Gen. Cheatham, Lieut. Col. J. S. Chambers and Col. L. H. Bash of the Quartermaster Corps, study was made of the situation. Gen. Cheatham’s idea was to combine beauty with durability, and the new furniture possesses both. Severe Drain on Men. Although by no means providing for the complete furnishing of a home, the ieces allowed an officer for his quar- | rs are the heaviest and most expen- sive items, including a dining room set, chiffonier, bureau and woman's dress- ! ing table, hall table, kitchen table and officer’s library desk. Before the ap- propriation made by Congress making possible the purchases of these pieces for officers’ quarters in 1908, officers were obliged to furnish completely their own homes, and on their salaries the equipment of a home was a severe drain upon the men, to whom, frequently liv- ing in distant foreign and inaccessible stations, the home proved the only com- fort enjoyed by them.

Goodman Arcade Market, 14th & Park GOODMAN 14c Quart Delivered to Your Home portation of furniture from one station to another was too great an expense to borne by the officers of his Army, and had made provision for a “trans- portation allowance.” The allowance, however, was inadequate and almost always an officer in changing from one station to another was obliged to bear part tol the expense out of his own e It was a tremendous saving both to the Government and to officers when the furnishing of quarters was provided for in 1908. It has been figured that in one change of station alone which involves the transfer of two officers, the saving on the transportation of furni- ture more than pays for the furniture equipment of one set of quarters. Reign of “Agony” Furniture.

It was while Gen. Cheatham was a major of the Quartermaster Corps that the furniture provided in 1908 was pur- chased, and it was under his direction that the fine quality and dignified lines of the “old mahogany” known to the Army for the past 21 years was selected. Army housewives take great pride in the care given to this Government fur- niture. An anecdote told throughout Army circles dates back to the days when the Army woman received with pride the new dining room set which added so greatly to the furnishing of her simple home. “To many conscientious housekeepers, for many years the new furniture was | known as the “agony furniture.” Phone North 1436 You can’t put your best foot forward, you can't keep in step with youth, in shoes that pinch and hurt your feet.
