Decorations For The Home lf Juno Snedloor Article. XVfl da on bean These arc tho chief points which chuructorlzo Jacoboan furniture. The largo pieces havi simple heavy structure with squat out lines for tho low-celling rooms of the time. Ktralght upright lines, legs under-braced almply or with elaborate carving and support which wore often splrai. For orn anient they used tho flat carving and scroll work of Italian Kemtls saiice design, Tho strap work pat terns and puncbi geometrically out lined with mouldings wore char acteristic The upholstery was very splen did and gay with leathers, velvets and embroidery. The Hevocatlon r"y f lul XIV, sent hundred of Huguenot weavers, seeking re ligious freedom, to Kngland to contribute their energy and talents to tho development of tho textile Industries. The opening of new trade routes to the Far Kast brought into Kng land n new type of design and, tho art of printing bright colored, patterns on cotton and linen Hoth In Imitation of Kasteihi calicos. An all-over flowing de sign ni; flowers nnd foliage, fruits and bird became very popular dining this period and arc exten sively used today and aro known everywhere as Jacobean desluns, Homo of these aro printed but the most Interesting ones are hand blocked on linen or cotton. They wore used as curtains, wall hamj- Ings and coverings for furniture. The arms of a Jacobean chair were not upholstered, but of dec orated well rubbed wood, eomo tlmen etralght but more often curved, spiral and carved. The leg of tables mid chairs were usually straight, bulbous and spiral, ending with a solid square beneath which was a ball or bun, which rested firmly on the floor. The whole solid and strongly con structed, f'hests. cuphn.'inh and etools were extensively used and thouc were nil massive nnd solid with turned Ick nnd elaborate carvings, tlate leg and refectory tables were most commonly used, ull strong sultAtu titbit. It will be noted that thla type of furniture wom being made and owed In r.URland at the time that the flrwt sett le m were coming to America and the simpler styles fit ted In well with Puritan Ideas and explains why some xrnutne Jacob ean furniture of this period Is still to to found in our New Knglund states.

Science Exp lains Why You May Qet Fat First on a Get'thin Diet You do not have to risk your life or melt away In tears of bore dom and solf-reatralnt if you wap to reduce but your diet must be scientifically safe. Dr. E. V. Mc Collum, noted biochemist of Johns Hopkins, approves this healthful but thinning diet In McCall's for January; "When the dieter steps on tho wals fo watch the quivering pointer register a pound or twy cms than It did tho week before, what if tho pointer Hliould go re, lentlesHly up. not down? ! "it happens sometimes, even when tho- amount of food eaten has been carefully proportioned to one's habits and living conditions. And Mie reason W no longer mysti fying, for a recent study made at the Tnlverslty of Michigan Medl- ; cal school by I; II. Now burgh and Margaret AV. Johnston explains! that body weight Is determined by I two things a gain or low of tis- I sue, and a gain or loss of water, j Thlat means that we can cut down our calories and burn up our hotly timue by exercising, yel we may be storing up, at (lie same time, enough water to keep our weight steady or even to in crease it. "However, this Is not cause for discouragement. Failure to lose weight on a low-calorie diet li merely a matter of days sixteen days at tho most, and usually less. Kventunlly, If we folic w our chosen course faithfully, the pounds will disappear. "The 'melting' should be a grad ual process, causing a los of not mure than two poumU a week. When the unnecessary reserve is used up. the diet should ho In creased again until It holds one's weight at a given point. "Overweight bt not desirable hut neither is indiscriminate diet ing. A sensible diet for a person wishing to reduce Includes the following food every d?.y. One pint of milk (whore or skimmed). Two servings of fruit. Two servings of vccl'ililes (one raw and one green). Otic potato. Ono egg. One serving of lean meat, fish, egg. or cheese. One small pat of butter (or 1 teaspoon codllver oil)."
