It is made from the sugar maple, found in tho northeastern stales and Canada, and very little i furniture if any, is made from ! this wood on the Pacific coast.

Query. Are velvet drapes good now? Mn. T. M. M. Answer. In the simple bunga low homo they are out of cluce but In Spanish und more t-ffoor-ate home, th-y aro helni? used a great deal rf ln. The richness und sheen of such a background is always pleasing, . Most of us fight, might and .main, auainst being Just folks. Most of us wart to bo something hl.Ui and grand and fine, which Is a'.l right a far as It goej. P.ui a lot of us forget that the highest, finest, grandest thing we can be Is just folks. Of course, sometimes it's hard to be just plain, ordinary folks when we set tune grand new star f lashing forth or hear of a new one being made, lving just plain, ordinary folks can't help seeming a pretty dull, stupid sort of job when every body Is bowing and scraping to those high and mighties. Most of us yearn mightily to do n little flashing around, and every last mother's son of us is convinced he has some wonderful hidden gift the world ought to know about if he Juat could Hash. Hut after oil H isn't the bright luminaries that really keep the world going around. It's just the plain, ord'nary folks folks that do the hum-drum things faithfully sow, reap. cook, clean, mend, nurse, love yes. ami hale. I suppose, or at least hate the things that ought to lie hated injustice, cruelty, op pression, dishonesty, ami the rest. It's just the folks that keep on keeping with what they have to do. every day. that make the universe comfortable and fit to live in. Ami when tumbles come and things iu wnmi; somehow it's seldom the high-ups that come to aid ymi, that come run ning to pick you up ami see what's hurt. At bast they're not to be counted en. lint usually the plnln, ordinary folks are. And they don't have to come running because they. re already there, on hand, all around you, standln;; by in ways you can let them stand by w'thoui hurting your pride. And they don't ask if they can help any either. They just do because, being plain, ordinary forks, they've probably stubbed their own toes, too.- one time or anotlu r. They've been there themselves and they know Just hhv it feels. So. also, they ki'ow just what to do ami how to do It because they remember what it was that other plain, ordinary folks did for them to heal them quickest. It's trite but true that at the top of the ladder there is Iib-nty of room. Hut there wouldn't be room rnmili for all of us is we could all be up there. And If there were, who'd be the audience for the star performers to play to.' And who'd hold the ladder so that some could do that climbing up to the cop'.' l'lain. ordinary folks are necessary lor star per formers to rise, imbxd for them even to be. Of course we all want to be something, do something with the talents and gifts that we think we huve. And if wo can. wo all ought to. Hut if. In the end, vi'r mistaken about onr Bclves. if it's our fate to be just plain ordinary folks after all. grugging along, it ought not to he so very devastating. For If the truth wer known, there isn't such difference between luminaries and mere folks oxeept in the outward seeming. lalitorial From Household Magazine. New Nursery Devices Reduce Mothers' Work The care of tho nursery and a growing family of children, called "no lazy woman's job." has been lightened by various new devices offered the public In recent years. The constant fear of mothers that the young infant would fall out of bed, provision of safe play place and, eradication of the child hood habit of thumb sucking all are discussed in" this article which lists various new methods hy which cares of the young can be lightened. "Have you ever tried lo carry on a eon versa! Ion while wondering whether or not the baby would fall off t)ti bed while ho sleepy,' asks tho writer. "A baby harness made of soft, washable webbing will do away with worry because It makes the infant's slumbers on tiny sur face safe from falls.

Garden Reminders Onler New Itos Enrly Now is the limo of year you shouhl be making lists of the new things you arc going to plant In your garden this year, says the January American Home. One of tho most important Is the new roses. Few of us hove the Hpaee nor the time and funds to add all the roses we would like to our gardens. We must be satisfied to go without a lot of them, and wilh this in mind the list must be all the more carefully made up. Tho I'ooner you get your order In the moro likely you .will Jie to get the things you want. There aro a lot of new and north-while roses on the market. - f Savii Your KvergriM-im Snow may break down your evergreens If you do not guard them from 'being over-loaded by it. Tho Unto necessary to knock Hie snow from tho brandies is well spent. U is best done before the join has a chance to start melting It because if the snow partially melts und then freezes upon tint foliage It Is alt .the more danger- I ous to the plants. Many fine ever greens ure seriously Injured each winter when a little thoughtful j care would ave them. From the January American Home. Hecl the Shower Curia hi Now that the bathroom has been ilrewHcd up to match the rest of the house in colorful beauty, the shower bath curtain has ascended tu the? dignity or an Im portant decorative feature as well us an article of utility.

Fruits Always in Season The frequent use of fruits is no longer regarded as a luxury. In stead they are looked upon by both physician and housewife of the pre-ent day as necessary items in the dally menu. Pried fruits are within the reach of every one the year round, but It is especially during the late winter and en rly spring seasons when fresh frtirth'nro scare and ex pensive that, t ho dried fruit comes into its ouu and holds an Impor tant place. Too much strefH cannot be put upon the i in porta nee of dried fruit,! as a food. The valuable mineral salts and organic acids t bat they coil I a In. besides their delicious flavor, rentier them a great addition to the diets of both children ami adults.
