"I think those sides are going to be too high," decided Dorothy after examining the chair carefully and sitting down in it. "Don't you think it pushes your elbows up too high?"
Roger tried it and thought it did.
"Suppose you saw those sides down about five inches."
Roger obeyed and Dorothy tried the chair again and pronounced it much improved.
"It's comfy enough now, but these arms don't look very well, and they'd be liable to tear your sleeves," she said. "Let's put on some strip covers. They'll give a finish to the whole thing, and hide the end of the two-sided legs and be smooth."
"Plenty of reason for having them. How many inches?"
"Twelve," answered Dorothy after measuring. "The top of the back needs a strip cover, too. Cut another nineteen inches long. There, I think that's not such a bad looking chair!'"
"Do you want cushions for those chairs?" inquired Ethel Brown, appearing at the door with a piece of cretonne in her hand. "We've got material enough for at least seat cushions for both of them."
"They'll be lots more comfy," admitted James, "if the excelsior crop is still holding out."
"It is. I'll make them right off, and Ethel Blue can help you out there."
