This narrative mutt be somewhst per-

TVTR. FRANK BEttM of
1VA Tledo Ohio has invented
an adjustable chair for the bathtub.
As the accompanying cut shows
it can be hooked on the end of the
tub the user reclining somewhat
at ease above tide level while he
performs his ablutions at leisure.
But the un of this appurtenance is not
recesariljr confined to the bath.' Hooked
on the rail of the back piazza it would do
for a smalt-tub stand while washing out
baby's stockings. Attached to a rail fence'
at a Sunday School picnic it might save the
lunch from die ants.
