It Is a Hoar-cut issue which all of us can judge on its own merits. And yet, (here are certain foreea which inveinb against the rocking chair. The rocking chair is not esthetic, say (hey.

How many! romances have not had their be-J ginning, their growth and culmlna-! tion with the Hid of tho rocking chair? It has played a very im portant part In history, In state craft, in domestic relations and in the upbringing of youth. And now it is to pass away, into tho Umbo of forget i on thingsall because certain arbiters of tin- esthetic have ruled that, it is not hh artistic as shim Id bo that It Is "buck wheat" and bucolic.
