for a “ stuff over ” chair, as a good example is really comfortable and com-
paratively inexpensive. On the other hand, luxuriously upholstered chairs

tainly one of the items which, under existing circumstances, can well be
dispensed with. It is rarely that the occupant of a small house possesses
china or bric-a-brac worthy of the conspicuous prominence such pieces
