Ushered into the world of fashion by queenly pieference, mahogany has ever since betn the royal wood and, while we know the world resources much better than did Queen Elizabeth, it is a fact that “ mahogani” is still the royal wood. For furniture and for interior decoration, nothing equals it in beauty, longevity and in increasing value. The impression that mahogany is difficult to obtain is not borne out by fact. Genuine mahogany is shipped from the central American states, Mexico, Cuba and Africa. American importers bring millions of feet into this country every jear. Mahogany is plentiful and, for that reason, it is possible to buy furniture o f mahogany at no greater cost than must be paid for less durable and less beau tiful woods W e carry a fine assortment o f period furniture in mahogany. A fter all— there is nothing like mahogany. C. S.
