The owner wears it rather than sits in it. This chair is always the most comfortable one in the house, even for persons who do not conform to all its bumps and hollows.

He said he looked forward to further development of the theme as a means of molding ite chair. He meant to do this in the first place. It is hard to imagine a favorite chair going to the auction room. However, starvation may force a chair-owner to bell. Sooner or later, every chair-ownor must die and let his chair fall into ' alien hands. A high-backed leather chair, well-worn, used to be parked on the porch of a waterfront summer house on the small lake where we live. As we rowed past, my wife s'lid that it seemed a comfortable chair, the kind of chair some person must have loved. One day we saw the poor old chair tipped upside down in the water. Was the drowning of the rhair a silent clue to some heartbreak? Or did some host and guest finally lose patience with the nice etiquette of chair rivalry, and break into a fiRht for possession of the rhair a fight which tumbled them both kicking and punching into the lake, with the old chair on top of them? Next time I row past that old chair, I must lever it up to nationalities.

Outstanding was a large mural of the "Canadian Arctic by Mrs. M. quick-witted. The dullard finds himself perched on the footstool while his host sinks Into the chair with the abandon of Nero embracing a feather bed. The struggle of wills for possession of a favorite chair tests a man's character to the depths. Some hosts push you in the chair with a look of gentle martyrdom. You can tell from their faces that this is the only chair in the house which allows them any relief from their arthritis. This type of chair-owner trusts your conscience to defeat you.
