sun, even though your carpets suffer o
little under his ardent CLEAN. We are

room-the workshop, where the brain
and body are built up and renewed
and let us have bay-window, no mat
ter how plain the structure, through
which the good twin angels of nature
sunlight and pure air-can freely en-
ter. Dark rooms bring depression Of
spirits, imparting q sense of contine-
ment, of isolation, of powerlessness,
which is chilling to energy and vigor ;
but in bright rooms is good cheer.
even in a gloomy house, where walls
and furniture are dingy and brown, We
have but to take down the curtains,
open wide the window, hang brackets
on either side, set fower-pots on the
brackets, and let the warm sun stream
freely in, to bring health to our bodies
and Joy to our souls.
