e No Drastic Changes in Men‘s Clothes for 1942 America has been sitting pretty these: past few years but now a Spartan orâ€" der mayv transform our chairs and sofas to smaller scale. As any ‘traveller will testify, you could have traipsed around the prewar world in vain for the luxu.«â€" ious chairs that have been our daily pleasure in the United States. We‘ve often look especially good on. a love seat â€" better often than on a larger piece of furniture. The allâ€"uphoisterâ€" ed love seat is smart looking, and it is practical if you‘re thinking ahead in terms of slip covering it. But if you may have to do the reâ€"upholstering j09 yourself, then consider seriously fne often heard Americans complain that | idea of a wocd frame love seat â€" then there wasn‘t a comfortable chair in Europe. As for Asia, well the Japanâ€" ese sit on the fisor and the Chinese sit in straizht high oddly proportioned chairs or else relax on kongs which are really beds. In the near east there have always beێn plenty of cushions and sofas to recline on â€" in fact, where wesgot:â€"the idea of the sofa in the first place but those divans had no arms or backs so weren‘t so good for the kind ‘of sittinz we like in America. the recovering job is much simp.cr than with an allâ€"upholstered piece..

Sometimes too an The really luxurious upholstered furâ€" niture such as we consider standard equipmentâ€".for every living room is found sometimes in England but noâ€" where has it ever been as common as in our own country. A Really Democratic World Well, we‘re going to have to trim our sails in this department of life as in others. For several reasons â€" patriâ€" ly shortages of essential materials needâ€" ed in making upholstered furniture. ... partly because the really democratic home of the future will be small and forthright and there won‘t be room in it for such big pieces. Last week we outlined various types of simpler lightâ€" er upholstered chairs that would probâ€" ably replace the buxom numbers we‘ve been used to. Today we will survey the selection of smaller sofas. The sofa is a genial piece of furniture besides being comfcrtable and sociable. so we aren‘t going to want to dispense with it entirely if we can help it. Inâ€" stead. we‘ll probobly settle for a love seat, which is the s@éntimental name for the two seat sofa. It is comfortable and gracious and really deserves its popularity in the compact home of toâ€" day. If the love seat is to be the foscal point cof the rocm‘s arrangement, selâ€" ect one that has importance and digâ€" nity in line and then choose an interâ€" esting fabric for it covering. â€" Strpos are smart and practical this year and lievc a striped love séat is the center of a pleasant ite Snider in greyâ€"blues, white and yeliow. coversation in a room designed by Marguerâ€" a EWE Gladys Swarthout‘s beautiful French drawing proportion to make a gracious fireside grouping. reom, a love seat is appropriate and of the correct The Love Seat is pproig“iate Comfortable and Adaptable in Many Spaces Whe Ilâ€"sized Sofa Would Crowd Things.

This type of love seat is suitable in either hall, living room, bedroom or dining room and takes up very little floor or wall space. Sometimes too an endâ€"ofâ€"aâ€"hall, a small sewing room Cr den can be made into a comforiable and useful sitting room by introducing a love seat and a comfortable table, chest or desk. A modern love seat that can be used in ‘either the modern or traditional room is the sectional type that comes in chair units so that they can he set together to make a love seat or even a sofa, or used apart as separate chairs. This is likewise practical in various rooms, including dining room or bedâ€" room where comfortable seating is cerâ€" tainly genial but where there is rtarely space for a large sofa or even a f..ll sized upholstered love seat. That brings up another important asset of the love seatâ€"it can go in so many places where a sofa wouldn‘t fit and it lends itself to much more verâ€" satile arrangements. A love seat can go under a window or at right angles to it; a love seat can also be placed at right angles to the fireplace or out in the middle of the floor even in a smallish room where a sofa so place:l would seem to crowd things. Consider a love seat at right angles tn a book lined wall too if yours is a bockish family. If the room is short of wall space, a charming effect may often be achieved by creating a wa‘ll with a screen and then setting the love seat against this. Here again a scia would probably be much tco big for such use by Elizabeth MacRea Boykin All along theâ€"line, the story of home furnishings is going to be one of curâ€" tailment. The sooner WE sll~ get in step with this trend, the soouner Oour world will be rightâ€"side up again. This shift toward simpler living is not merely a warâ€"time measure. The postâ€" war world will be far more democratic than any we have known before, with fewer expansive and extravagans homes few hovels and povertyâ€"stricke:r hutsâ€" and more of us living in pleasant adeâ€" quacy. ‘ SV J i o ME o e 3.

For ~all that simplification, however, there will still be plenty of margin for individuâ€" ality, and on the whole we predict that American women are going to like this world of tomorrow. The grim events of today are purging us of false standards ... are giving us a new sense of values which we will translate in terms of friendly unpretentious livâ€" ng.

SHCULD BE SOCKED THE WINNAH! In the early days of Timmins there were few cases of relief that had to be dealt with by the town council, friends almost invariably coming to the assâ€" istance of any in need here, Twerty years ago, however, the council had to authorize appropriations for relief for several cases of need brought to attâ€" ention, and the council has had since to carry through the same kind of helo year by year. The annual meeting of the Timmins Football Association was held in the council chambers on Monday evening, March 27th, 1922, with the presiden, Mr. J. W. Faithful, in the chair. Thee was a very large attendance. Te treasurer‘s statement showed a balarce of $11.81 in the bank after a busy and generally satisfactory season in 1921. Rev. Mr. Cushing expressed the opinâ€" ion of.the meeting as to the very valiiâ€" able services given in the past season by President Faithful for its sucress. ‘This was aptly endorsed by Mr. W. Field, an a very hearty vote of thanks tenered to Mr. Faithful for his good work for tht Timmins Football â€" After the vresident had reviewed the work of the 1921 season and the bright prospects in 1922 for the best of sport and succtess in the line of football in this camp, the work cf electing officers for the vear was taken up. Four nomâ€" inations were made for preside~tâ€" Messrs; Faithful, Macdonald, Cadman and Laidlawâ€"all asking permission to withdraw on account of the pressure of cther work,but the meeting refus>1 to allow anyâ€" withdrawals. On th« vote being taken Mr. W.F.B. Cadman was elected as secretaryâ€"treagurer. The The othcr officers elected were as fo:â€" lowsâ€"Honorary patrons, Dr. J. A. Mcâ€" Innis, Mr. C. G.

The following "paragraph was pub-‘ lished in The Advance of March 29th, 1922:â€""Monday evening while the man of the house was attending the annual meeting cof the Timmins Football Clubi and the lady was visiting relatives near by, one of \the Hollinger houses was entered and the place thoroughly ranâ€" ' sacked. When the lady returned and found the condition of the Jhouse, the police, were promptly notified. Invesâ€" tigation went to show that apparently nothing had been â€" stolen though the xwhole house had been ransacked. Apâ€" parently the robber had been searching for money and though everything in the whole was upset nothing seemed ‘to be missing no money having been left in the house. Purses, pocketâ€" books, drowers, etc., were opened, and the clothes hanging up had all been searched. The crime seemed to be the work of one man. Entrance had appâ€" arently been gained through the use of a pass key on the front door. There was evidence that effort had been made to gain entrance at the rear. The bold burglar had apparently spent conâ€" siderable time in his search and the lsigns suggested he had posted himself on the movements of the occupants of the house. A flashlight apparently used by the intruder was found in the lhouse. The police are working on the case, and hopes are entertained that the guilty party will be discovered and the mystery of other somewhat simiâ€" lar cases ‘also explained at the sime time, as most of the several cases bear suggestions of being committed by the hand." "So vou‘ve just had a medical exaâ€" mination. What did the doctor say?" "He said that I was in pretty good condition but that I shouldn‘t start At the Timmins police cou(t twenty years ago there were two cases where fines of $500.00 and costs were imposed, and paid for breach of the liquor laws. One was the case of a woman at South Porcupine, Chief McInnis laying the charge, and the other was a woman from Schumacher, Chief McInnis, of Tisdale again being the complainant. There was a large attendance at the meeting of Associated Board of Trade of Temiskaming, held in the basement of the Presbyterian Church, Timmins, on March 25th, 1922. iPractically every part of the whole district was represenâ€" ted, every ‘board of trade having its delegates. After the mayor of Timmins Dr. J. A. McInnis, had welcomed the visitors to the town, business of the day was taken up, the meeting being presided over by Mr. R. A. McInnis, president of the Temiskaming Assocâ€" iated Boards of Trade. Mr. McInnis in opening spoke of the development and future of gold mining here. He expected to see the city of Timmins in a few years and all present would feel proud that they had had some part in its development. Mr. McInnis sugguesâ€" ted that the next meeting in June be given up to roads and the one in Septâ€" ember to agriculture. He thought that there should be a big meeting of the boards in late summer, when the crops are ripe. He suggested that the towns which would have these meetings, namely, Kirkland Lake in June, and Liskeard in September, get busy with the executive on a programme for these meetings and make them real big meetings. In regard to roads, Geo. A. Smith, of Cochrane, reported that the Government was not in favour of macâ€" adan highways and was opposed to exâ€" tending the scope of the Public Works act to take in the North. He thought the only hcpe at the time was in the Northern Development branch.
