Uncle Wali'5' FINE FURNITURE «J DBOPPED in to see Mrs. WlggleJ. meyer today," announced Mrs. Jamesworthy. "and she vshowed me through the house. They hnve the finest mahogany furniture I have seep • — i — » v,ope j am not envi-

ous or covetous, but when I con-temp-fa ted that beautiful furn1ture, and thought of our own old stuff, I felt sick ft I heart I love beautiful tilings, and have been deprived of them all ray days." "It's a pltj about you," said J a mes Worthy. "You'd better go out to the wood-

shed and hold an indignation meeting and -pass a series of resolutions denouncing your toll-worn husband because he hasn't furnished you with marble halls and vassals and serfs by your side. "You know that I am swny backed and kneesprung as a result of my heroic efforts to keep the wolf from the door. If you were the right sort of woman you would say, after seeing the Wigglemeyer outfit, 'My esteemed husband may not be able to surround me with such oriental luxury and magnificence, but everything we have, from the sanitary couch to the plush rocker. Is paid for. and It Is better to sit on a •nail keg free from Incumbrance. than to busk at case on a Persian divan that may be confiscated by the Installment house the first time we . miss a payment.' "If yon would look at things in that light, Mrs. Jatnesworthy, I would feel more like continuing the struggle to sidestep the poorhouse. "Suppose we had the house full of sumptuous furniture, what better off would you be? There might be n sneaking satisfaction In showing It off to visitors, but such satisfaction Is an unholy thing. It Is the pride that goeth before destruction. It Is vanity and vexation of spirit. Only a meanspirited beldame will exhibit her gorgeous rosewood furniture to a woman who has to struggle along with a bed and dresser made of a cheap grade of pine. "When the shades of night have fallen fust, and Mrs. Wigglemeyer goes to her bedroom and to her Imposing 1 mahogany bed, do you suppose she sleeps In It any .better than you do in your golden oak bed that went out of fashion twenty years ago? I trow not. Mrs. Jamesworthy. That golden oak bed must have narcotic qualities, for the way you sleep Is a caution to mummies. If you could hear yourself snoring you'd be perfectly satisfied with a couch that makes such souring possl ble. "In these degenerate days the women think of nothing but making a big - display. If they can't do it In their millinery, they want to do it in their houses. They forget that all grandeur . Is superfluous. You get nofotfig out ol , It. What Is a bed for? To sleep Id ; and when you sleep yomre uncon- ' sclous. Then wha» difference does II make whether you sleep In a $500 mahogany bed. or a $1 cotton hammock* What Is a chair for? To sit in; and j you can sit Just as^well In a rustic chair that you bought at a second hand store, as you can In the chair ol •ebony Inlaid with pearl. '■ "When I was young, women were •different. My suluted mother had nc use for expensive furniture. Father always was dissatisfied with the bed Ire had to sleep iu. He made It him self, with an ax and crowbar, when h« was a young man. The slats were at wnys falling out of It and dumping m> revered parent on the floor, and wher. he picked himself up he used to saj - things that had smoke pn them. At lie grew older he wanted a new modern bed. hot mother wouldn't stand lor It. She wouldn't hear of such extravagance. She used to tell father thnt he wouldn't be able to sleep in s first-class bed. he had so long beer used to finding his feet about a yarC higher than his head when he woke Finally my mother — " "I wish It was finally' with your mother," said Mrs. Jamesworthy. Tn sick of hearing of her." Defined. ! "Would you call It a moral wrong to cheat a lawyer who had char-fed you an exorbitant fee?" "No, I wouldn't Td call It a human Impossibility." Y'ff— and Worse. Redd — I ran across Black downtown today while in my car. Greene — Ran across him. did yon say? "Well. I did say that, bat as a matter of fact I struck him downtown before I ran across him." Next "Just bought my wife a thousanddollar coat" -What now?" "Gonna save up for a pair of fibdat for myself." ^
