For Your Bedroom 



a 



" A cleverly designed chair with a dozen different uses." 



The Revell Valet Chair 



The newest thing for the home. It has more practical uses 

 than any other piece of furniture ever made. Think of an artis- 

 tically designed high-back, substantial chair of beau- 

 tifully finished quarter-sawed golden or weathered 

 oak or mahogany finished birch that will 

 hold and properly shape every article of 

 a lady's or gentleman's clothing! A 

 chair that has a trouser and skirt 

 stretcher concealed in the back — that will 

 save tailor bills by keeping the wrinkles 

 out, and pay for itself in a short time. 

 Ladies will find many unique uses for it 

 and at the same time it will be an orna- 

 ment to the dressing room. Men like 

 it because it holds an entire suit of 

 clothes as well as underwear, shirt, col- 

 lar, tie, and hose. There is a spacious compartment in 

 the seat for shoes, slippers, brushes, etc. 



The Valet Chair will make a man *lad and keep ^^^S^SW^l&S^&ff^

 and we will refund the full amount paid.

THE SECOND BATTLE. 

 The panic stricken Russian fleet 



Is slowly sailing South 

 With Admiral Rojestvensky's heart 



Sojourning in his mouth. 

 North-east-by-west-by-round-the-block ; 



A fishing smack he hammers ; 

 Its sailors madly dive below 



To get their Russian grammars. 



In vain they conjugate; their foes 



Approach with splash and swish ; 

 In vain they hoist to masthead high 



The Russian term for "fish." 

 In vain they loudly state the case, 



Each shot their voices throttles, 

 At last they sadly sigh and trust 



Their wills to empty bottles. 



But lo ! their skipper bold remarks : 



"How damp it is to sink !" 

 He puts his finger to his brow 



And murmurs : "Let me think." 

 At last he plays his final card, 



The card that he relies on, 

 "We're Japs !" he roars ; the Russian ships 



Are specks on the horizon.

Don't forget that a year's sub- 

 scription to Recreation is the best 

 thing you can give a man or a boy 

 for a Christmas present.
