ou r of na- the tat ally yan eck ody. Jog. Furniture — €§ Furniture. There is a kind of furniture that holds one off—at arms’ length, so to speak—furniture that never unbends, meets one half way, nor ever seems quite to sanction such approach on the part of friendly humans, There is other furniture, that, while it never could be called forward, is friendly. It offers comfort and invites confidence. It can be delightful without loss of dignity. One may come to be almost chummy with such furni- ture, if his intentions are honest. In these latter qualities lies the charm of Colonial fur- niture. y piece of ithas what in people is called breeding, which is the quality of being gracious even if one doesn’t have to. We make a specialty of Colonial furniture and decora- tion, and have done so for so many years that we may fairly claim authority in matters Colonial. Our knowl- edge, experience and facilities are at your disposal. WK.
