SUNNY RooMs.-Evcry woman is
wise enough and careful enough to Sc
cure for her house plants every bit of
available sunshine during the cold Win
ter months. Great care is taken to get
II southern exposure for them. Indeed
if one can secure no other than II north
window for her plants she has too
| much love for these unconscious, inani-
mate things to keep them at ALL She
would rather leave them out in the
cold to die outright, than linger out II
martyr existence in the shade.
| Folks need sunshine quite as much
as plants do. Men and women who
have Il fair degree of strength and the
| use of their legs can get out into the
world and get glimpse Of the sun
shin" now ana tItIi, ana if they choose
| to do So let them live ir rooms With
only northern eNGos'r"; nut " II is
possible, let tf' secure rooms INTO which
every ~. of sunshine that falls in Win
ter may "".~., for the little babies who
arc shut up in the house, invnfids who
cannot leave their rooms, and aged
people who are too intirm to get out
doors.
Let us reflect fora moment that these
classes Of persons if kept in rooms with
only north windows will suffer just as
much from the absence of sunshine, as
green, growing plants would do in the
same rooms, and their suffering is of
account in proportion rs a human be-
ing is better than II Geranium or Il
fuschia. Everybody knows how II
bright, sunny day in winter pIaddens
every one who is situated SO rs to en-
joy it. Let us make some sacrifices if
need be i'll order to give the feeble ones
their measure of sunshine. o.-Luu'S Of Life
