HOW TO SAVE MONEY
WHEN SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN

CHOOSE CHAIRS FOR
COMFORT
There are two Important points that
jou .should have in mind when pur
chasing every chair —the first, a vision
of the position the chair is to occupy
in the room; and the other, an idea
of who is to sit in the chair most —
whether it is to be used by a man or
woman, by a regular member of the
family or an occasional guest.
No doubt most buyers do have the
first point in mind, but how many, do
you think, give any attention to the
latter?
A guest who has dropped In, al!
furred and hatted, for a short cal!
will generally be much more com
fortable in a straight back, rather low
chair, without arms, so that she may
have perfect freedom when turning
from side to side to converse with the
different members of the family. Hence
we have “reception” chairs.
A chair bought for a man should be
very different in both shape and size
from a woman’s. For one thing the
seat should be higher and deeper, the
back should be constructed different
ly, and altogether it should be a much
more commodious piece of furniture.
Very soft commodious chairs with
down cushions are generally liked by
men better than women. Perhaps that
Is because when a woman drops down
to rest for a few moments she general
ly likes to busy herself with some
quiet craft —a bit of unfinished sew
ing or embroidery’ perhaps —and such
chairs are not conducive to activity.
When sitting down to work, a chair
with a broad, deep seat, and a high,
almost straight back that will sus
tain us erect will be found to be the
most comfortable.
Many people bewail the popularity
of the “rocker,” even contending that
there is no such thing as a comfort
able rocking chair, and that it only
dissipates the energy and makes foi
“nerves.”
Which brings us up to the point that
every chair should be of the most sub
stantial kind, with none too good for
constant use; and that only after a
chair has been selected to conform to
the dimensions of the person who is
to sit in it, and answered every test
for comfort, can the design and style
be considered.

THE RIGHT CORSET
If you still wear ’em, it is important
that you should know the kind of cor
set you can wear 4ith greatest com
fort, and the kind that gives you the
best lines.
There are recognized to be nine types
of w’omen to be fitted with corsets,
and all up-to-date eorsetierres now pro
vide for these types. They are: (1)
The short, slender figure; (2) The tall,
slender figure; (3) The short-walsted
figure; (4) The short, heavy figure;
(5) The tall, heavy figure; (6) The
fuil-hip figure; (7) The full-bust fig
ure; (8) The swayed back figure; and
(9) The normal figure.
Here are a few suggestions as to
the kinds of corsets that are best for
your build.
If you have a short, slender figure,
choose a corset moderately short, light
In weight, and with few stays.
The same holds for the tall, slender
figure, with the added caution that
the corset must be long enough over
the hips to give an unbroken line.
Never wear a corset too tight, as this
only makes a slender woman appear
more slender.
For the shprt-waisted figure, the cor
set should be fitted rather loosely, and
worn well down on the figure. Be
sure that the corset is short enough
below the waist line in front.
The short, heavy figure requires a
corset with short stays, to prevent
“hitching” up when the wearer sits
down, thus making her appear shorter
walsted than ever.
If you are tall, Inclined to the heavy
figure, wear a corset with a very long
skirt. Let the length come at the
back and sides, however, keeping it
short in front. A corset that is too
tight on a large woman will cause
her to appear to be “all corsets.”
The full-hip figure has the same
problem, and the corset must be long
and well-boned over the hips. Several
strong elastics are necessary to fasten
the corset to hose. Do not wear cor
set tight in an attempt to reduce size
of hips, or termination of the corset
will show, giving an ugly Une.
For the full-busted figure it is gen
erally more satisfactory to wefir low
busted corset and confine the extra
flesh in a well-fitting brassiere.
The swayed-back figure takes an or
dinary corset, and where the back is
very much curved, a small corset-pad
Is attached to the Inside of the corset
where needed.
If you have the happy perfect fig.
ure, you have only to choose the cor
rect size for your waist, and a com
fortable length and weight. A size
two inches smaller than your ordin
ary measurement is the general rule.

MORE THAN 400
GRAND-CHILDREN
If Marvel Silvers, 108 years old, of
Burnsville, S. C., would gather his
descendants together he could form
a town without much trouble. In his
family are 11 children, 82 grand chil
dren, 400 great grand children, a
group of great, greaj:, great grand
children. A family reunion is almost
impossible unless an entire park
could be reserved for the event.
Mr. Silvers says he is more than
108 years old. However, several
hundred descendants say he is not
older, but it is just a natural egotism
on his part to wish to appear as old
as possible. Mr. Silvers offers no
theories to account for his unusual
longevity. He has lived on a farm
all of his life, and he thinks that the
fresh air and hard work may be re
sponsible for keeping away the grim
reaper.
His farm is located so' as to be al
most perpendicular. A walk from
the house to the bam is more work
than the average golfer would like in
one day. Mr. Silvers keeps up with
the day’s news and takes keen inter
est in world affairs.

ry D. McDaniel, governor of Georgia
from 1883 to 1886, died at his resi
dence at Monroe late after having
been unconscious since noon the day

he being in his 89th year.
It was during his tenure as gov

priated the sum of $1,000,000 for
erection of a suitable state house.-On
