furniture for homes. It is chosen to fit in with the best
ideals of home life. True, pure styles made to endure; the
kind of furniture that does not have to be replaced for years
and years, not that we mean the expensive pieces that all
do not want—but the simple chairs, rockers, tables, desks
and the like that the Christmas stocks offer are made by the
