PLANS FOR THE SUMNER.

Many home Is now vexed with the old ques-
ton how to arrange FOR the summer. The chill
dren must get out of the city. and yet the father
must stay In It TO attend TO business. 1t Is q
forlorn prospect for him. haunting the deserted
house or apartment. and foraging for his meals.
But one great amelioration OF situation which
Is unpleasant at best has been discovered by
some families. The use Of gas range has made
ii not only possible. but even easy. for the most
unsk!lled man TO make n cup or coffee poach an
egg and warm a roll in the morning for his
breakfast Then lunch down town and dinner
at the club take off good deal OF the sting OF
loneliness. 1t Is the getting up and going out to
breakfast that s the hard thing. But with a
gas range at hand the morning meal can be pre-
pared in perfect comfort. The knowledge OF this
fact will be relief to many wife this summer
who has had to leave her husband in the city
alone
