I will try to show you why the
United Slates has not been a mar -
time nation, and why it seems ne.es
iary for us to become more active
in shipping affairs.
"A well-known historian once -.a 1
that no natiop that rouhl not get a

eafd Uncle Harry. "And th s fact is
very strongly borne out by our own
nation. Ever since the Civil War '

r^ulture. manufacturing mining and
other Industr e?—and all her energy
and strength have been used ,'n this
development. We are not a sea
faring people, and up to the time of j
the World War we found it more
profitable to do the producing and
to let the other nations act as 'de
livery wagons' for our export andam
ptirt trade. •

there wasn't any phonograph or player-piano to white away
the evening.
Rut there was the spinet — that quaint old-time piano
that under the long practiced fingers of some young hostess
merrily and cheerily played an accompaniment to young
voices in the songs of the day, or painstakingly measured a
stately Minuet or a frolicsopie Virginia Reel.
There are but few spinets today.

But the beauty of the spinet and its wonderful adapta
bility to modern f urnishings has made it one of the most de
sirable and practical bits of home furniture.
Gone are its yellowed keys and tinkling strings and the
songs of long ago.
In their place there is a roomy writing desk and cunning
little compartments and nooks for our diary and our VERY ,
VERY private letters.
They are made in mahogany and mahogany finish and
with turned and hexagonal legs and sliding writing beds.
They can be had from $24.00 to $140.00 and are most ap
propriate gifts.
, The chairs to match range from $7.00 to $30.00.
These desks aside from their usefulness add an individ
ual touch to any room.
And they look particularly well in the reception hall.
