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

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. AIsm It explains why so
many colonial piece which were
made In thin country by the early
cabinet makers show the unques

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)."
