The Settle Table 
I am asked for sketch and specifica¬

use as a dining table has a top 48 by CO

corners are rounded off. 
Width of supporting bench, 18 in. 
Length of bench, 84 in. 
Height, of table from floor, 28 in., be¬

Depth of box, 10 in. 
Distance from bottom of box to floor, 
before casters are added, 5 in. Support¬ 
ing flanges, 48 in. long, 2 1 /i in. wide—all 
outside measurements.

pins, which are poplar, in the case of the 
supports, because of greater firmness and 
strength ; in the other case, for the sake 
of using a little old material. 
^ a . m no ^ carpenter enough to describe 
technically the way it is made; but there 
are no nails where they show. The box 
is made with cleats inside, through which 
the nails are driven into the outside 
boards, but not clear through. On very 
close inspection one can find small nails 
m the upper edge of the crosspieces—I 
think it is called “toe-nailing”—into the 
top. The top boards were glued in a 
press, but also nailed in this way. 
The pins were turned, I think, but they 
could be whittled. They are usually ail 
If the caffeine in coffee irritates 
your nervous system and keeps you 
awake when you should be asleep, 
recuperating your energies, why not 
stop coffee and drink Postum? 
Postum is a pure cereal beverage, 
absolutely free from caffeine or any¬ 
thing that can disturb health and com¬ 
fort. Many prefer Postum for its de¬ 
lightful aroma and flavor. 
If you want to know the truth, 
change to Postum for a month or so, 
and see how much better you will 
sleep and feel.

four alike, but my old cabinet-maker sug¬ 
gested making them permanent on one 
side—the hinge side of the box seat—so 
they would not get lost. He therefore fit¬ 
ted a cap tightly on the inside end of the 
pin. The other pins, which are removed 
when the top rolls back, are replaced low 
down on the “arms,” keeping the back of 
the bench from tipping forward. 
As to finish, this table leads a varied 
career—in plans. When I ordered it, I 
expected to paint it peacock blue and 
adorn it with brilliant parrots—being un¬ 
der the spell of some modern decorative 
schemes. When I got it, the grain and 
color of this inexpensive wood were so 
beautiful that I decided to shellac and 
wax it. But “the cares of the world” in-

terfered, and a partial coat of shellac is 
all it has had. Since there is a lot of re¬ 
finishing to do in the Spring, it too will 
probably get some attention. 
The walnut table is not yet made, and 
my neighbor has both the measurements 
and the lumber. As I remember, how¬ 
ever, the bench is to be about the same 
size, but the top much smaller. It had 
to be, to fit the material. Besides, as a 
living rom table, so much knee-room is 
not necessary, and the top will project 
only a few inches beyond the bench. ' 
The dining table seats eight, and that 
matter of knee-room was carefully consid¬ 
ered when planning the dimensions. Such 
tables sometimes have round tops, which 
are very good looking, but will not seat as 
many people comfortably. 
The casters used are small plate cas¬ 
ters, always so much the best for heavy 
furniture. As the place to put them is so 
small, part of the plate was bent up 
against the foot of the bench. e. ji. c.
