she didn want to live in it any longer. -
And that IS the way most nice women
feel about their inner draperies. They
are just as pretty in pale blue, rose or
white India silk ruff1ed with feathery
firm thread lace as the white cambria in
which every woman ought to look like
an angel that has laid off its wings.
If you love life and your families don It
stint fires this spring, if yon have so keep
them mornings till the middle of June.
This season vii. decide many families to
go into homes of their own where they
can have a fire at pleasure, when the
hotels have shut off steam, and the
boarding houses have put the furnace
out. They suffer, these poor rich people
in their high priced hotels for the simple
comfort of life. It gives pang to think
how an ailing friend used to come Ian
guld and blue into the office down town
for warmth, after shivering for hours in
his rooms at the expensive hotel, because
the steam was turned off for the season,
and no provision made for fires in the
room. He took his deathblow then.
Somehow, for want of care from the
stupid provisions of snowy life, his many
thousands of income could not bring him

An invention was shown in New York
CITY last spring which meets the wants of
HOUSEHOLDS better than any other warm
ing apparatus. Perhaps its excellence
is the very reason why it was hustled out
of the way, SO that its present address
cannot be found. 1t would not be the
first invention so useful it had to be killed
for fear of Its superseding everything else
of its kind A sheet-iron tank holding
several gallons of kerosene was fixed on
the wall with quarter-inch pipe leading
to firebox of porous clay or stone,
through which the oil filtered, filled the
box with flame. Any more complete
economy of fuel is not to be found, and
the ease with which it was regula ted was
great recommendation. The room once
warm with a quick fire, the oil
could be turned off to the
merest drible sufficient. with slight
flame, to keep the house at an even
warmth all day OF night without atten-
ton. II was said to be so safe that the
insurance companies charged no extra
risk for it, and one gallon of oil was
enough to keep a fifteen feet room warm
for twenty-four hours. 1 want to know
what has become of this invention. Just
such method is needed to heat houses
in the uncertain seasons, when children
and women suffer mild miseries, or not
SO mild, for want OF dry warm air. 1t

the warmth necessary for another's sys-

and two authors, bent on serious work,

last December and came down with this
unknown malady, which takes ten years
out Of life, story which hundreds of
others can duplicate. So, pleasant
readers, whose kindly messages come
day by day, if your letters and questions
are not answered. it is because for
months it has seemed easier to lie down
and pass out of existence than TO do any
thing else. That is the way the cpl

oneself to work unavoidable and then
drops into inertness OF body and soul.
