Whatever quality a person has been en dowed with or developed, he of she has no right to hoard it any more than Rembrandt would have had to fritter away his genius" or the dis coverers and owners of the radium mines have a right to bottle them up from scientific use. , Any talent or nature's gift that sticks to the ( recipient's fingers is downright robbery of the poorer public, for whose needs it was given. The trees pay rent to the soil they live in by giving freely their fruit, though he who takes care of the roots is entitled to wages also.

A very striking illustration of this will be found in the collection of magnifi cent dining-room suits shown on the Sixth Floor. Lovers of fine cabinet work have pronounced some of these works of art, and no wonder, for in design, construction and ornamental detail and in their beautifully matched and figured wood they worthily uphold the purest standards left by the old master designers. Relatively speaking, the prices of these suits are not high. For every dollar they cost they carry a full measure of beauty, stability and excellence, to say nothing of the feeling that might be called joy-of-possession. For instance, we are showing for $1325 a Queen Anne dining room suit in which each drawer and cupboard door is built up of beautifully figured mahogany with heavy bordered panels. The trim mings are in the silver finish. The china closet has panel doors and a cupboard base. The serving table is after the old commode style and has two large and two small drawers. The table has a 54-inch top and the chairs have upholstered seats and backs. This suit can also be had in walnut at the same price. ' ' Another excellent copy is one in William and Mary for $665 built of figured walnut, the front panels being in burl walnut.
