WOMAN’S PAGE. Prices and Values of Furniture BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. o W = = S o= P = 2 = 5|~ THIS HANDSOME ANTIQUE LOVE-SEAT FAR EXCEEDS IN BEAUTY THE MODEST SUM IT COST. HEN buying furniture and 7 fu gs for a new home or to supplement furnishings one has, there are two ques- tions that the home-maker cide.

Each is of the same importance; that is. however much or little be paid for any article, unlees it is in itself as appropriately good Jooking as lies within the character of the article, it fails in its object—and this is entirely apart from the price for the thing. There are persons who believe that 1f an article is high priced this fact is & guarantee of quality, work- and artistry. Thev have a e that their knowledge can add if anything, to the dis- ery of excellence. Many times these sons quote a purchase price as indic- ne value.

An- other example: It seems but yesterday that mid-Victorian furnishings were available at rediculously low prices They were kept hidden away in houses where such articles were still owned Today all such articles are in the fore- front of fashion. This does not signify any extra artistry change in the scale of prices. Never before has the necessity discriminating buying of home fur- nishings been more essential to the artistry of rooms. If mid-Victorian furniture appeals to you, there are fine examples to be had.” As these are less ornate than the majority of pieces and less pronounced in type, they can some- times be bought at a lower price than the more pretentious pieces. If ultra- modern furniture is preferred, be a stu- dent of materials and workmanship, for lines are so straight and angular usu- ally that the cost of manufacture is less than for intricately carved and inlaid articles 1f you delight in antiques, be aware that some of these can still be bought without paying fabulous sums, if you know how to select and learn the ues. You will have to pick up the things vourselves often from a medley of inartistic and unworthy pieces. The price paid is no estimate of the value, which may be much higher than tr sum paid, nor does it signify lack artistry. for (Copyright, 1032) By Thornton . Burgess. Danny Warns Nanny.

If you had not thought of me and come home as fast | as you could, I might never have come back.” “Of course, T thought of you the very first thing,” replied Danny promptly. “If we didn't think of each other I don’t know what would become of us.” “That is quite true,” replied Nanny, “but tell me about this stranger. Where is he and what does he look like? How will T know him if I see him?” “You'll know him.” chuckled Danny. “you'll know him because you cannot mistake him for any one else if you get a good look at him.” Then Danny told Nanny how he had been peeping out of one of his holes in the snow beside a big mullein stalk when a shadow drifted past. a shadow that he was sure was that of Hooty the Great Horned Owl because of the size | of it. Then the shadow had returned and he had seen the maker of it alight on a fence post. It was when he tried to tell Nanny how the stranger looked, how long his legs were, how hump- shouldered he appeared, and what a strange face he had that Nanny be- came too curious to sit still. “Where did you see him?" she de- manded. “I never in all my life have heard of such a bird and I want to see | for myself.

HESE somber-clad musicians stand in their own doorway and propose to their lady love by singing her a soulful ditty. Not one bit does the ardent suitor stir from his own vine and fig tree. If the lady is shy and comes very slowly in answer to his pleading, he simply goes on droaning his love and “until death us do part” pledges, until she can resist it no longer and accepts him. The wooing tune, played in such a beseeching manner, is quivering with emotion. Let a rival appear on the scene, and the wing-covers are raised at a 45-degree angle, the sound is & sharp, shrill command, and pretty soon the rivals are in deadly combat. The damsel looks on with evident interest as to the outcome. The victor again addresses his lady love, while the de- feated one, if he is able, crawls away to recover or die. The damsel seems to look upon the successful one with admiration and accepts him at once. They enter the home under a stone or clod and raise their family here. Black crickets are clad in shining armor, and when you see them rush- | ing through the grass, you can see {how efficient the patent-leather outft is.

Close to the base |of the wing-cover there is a strong | cross-vein which has many transverse | ridges on it. This is called the “file” and |on the inner edge of this wing and near the base is a very hard portion | known as the scarper. When tuning | up, the performer lifts his wing-covers at a 45-degree angle and draws his |bow (scarper) against the file of the | overlapping wing. When the frosty | evenings come, his fiddle gets out of tune and the song is hoarse.

She probably is keenly interested in reading. It would not be surprising if she had not already tried her hand at writing short stories or poetry. She apparently has the imagination required for successful fiction composition. All magazines are anxious to welcome new writers of interesting stories, and it would not be amiss for her to attempt | to sell some of her efforts. No writer has at first been eminently successful, but practice will eventually lead to fin- ished and polished stories. Countless writers have succeeded through such perseverance. She would seemingly find great leasure in attending the theater. With er colorful imagination apparently she could project herself into the feelings of the characters being portrayed.

It is hard to make any statement about these meth- ods that will apply in all cases, unless we say that they are usually used in a precise sort of way. One does not, for instance, see a rose attached 1o the skirt of an evening dress, giving the appearance of having been dropped or thrown at random, and the old- fashioned drooping sort of shoulder fashion. When flowers are worn on the shoulder they are neatly arranged in a row, covering an entire shoulder | strap. Often there is & row of roses or other artificial flowers at the back of the walst line, at the end of the low back decolletage, and one or two flowers may be used at the point of the V-neck line at the front. | ‘The sketch shows one of the newest ways to place flowers on an evening dress—at the belt and one on either | arm. It is a clever idea to use on a | new dress, and an even cleverer idea for a dress that you have had some time and would like to provide with a | new lease of life. If the dress has no sleeves, you might make them of matching chiffon or silk net, and have the satisfaction of knowing that even in new dresses sleeves of contrasting material, and even of contrasting color, are often used. Another approved way of using flow- ers is by way of entire cuffs on short, puffed sleeves. The flowers should be small and flat, and arranged evenly to form a circle, or you may use them in a semi-circle around the outer side of the arm, so that they will not rub MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS warm boric acid solution for several minutes, You may buy the boric acid solution ready mixed or make your own by dissolving one heaping teaspoonful of boric acid powder in one pint of boiling water.

(2) I would advise you to try to get to the root of your trouble instead of spending your time and money on ordinary local methods and creams. As you have spent so much money and time on merely local treatments without getting results, it is evident that your trouble calls for internal adjustments and med- ical aid. Have a physical examination vour own physician to find out how you stand on the health scale. The un- derweight and lowered vitality may be tiie cause of your trouble. Poor diges- tion, nervousness, constipation and other “internal disturbances are other possible cautes of this trouble. Build up your health in general by wise diet sufficient sleep ¢nd rest.
