Few women realize the comfort that
can be gotten out of practical little
house gown. OF course I am not al
luding to the luxurious tea gowns or
to the dressy gowns woman dons on
her at-home day. The house gown is
essentially an every day affair. With
just ever so little pains it can be made
a charming toilet dress, combining a
rare amount of chic with certain
dainty picturesqueness, says the Phila-
delphia Times. How often last
years tailor made skirt and a passe
silk blouse usurp the place of this
pleasing little cashmere house gown.

A Room That Is Original.

The brown earthenware jugs that
certain brands of WHISTLES and cor
dials are put up in have been made
into very effective mantel and side
board ornaments by young woman
with artistic instincts. The labels
have been washed off and the
jugs splashed with yellow oil paint.
They tone in with the oak woodwork
of the dining room. There is no COM
bination prettier than blue and yellow,
and as the walls are blue there is a
dash of this shade in some of the jugs.
At any department store or china shop
the flower shoppers can be found. That
is Dresden china flower on large
cork, which is to be utilized when the
rare that the cork that comes in the
bottle can be used after it is pierced
with the corkscrew. In the yellow jugs
the shoppers are yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and blue morning glories. They
give to the room that touch of origin
atty and individuality that every wo-
man strives for. The curtains are
white net appliqued with lace bow
knots and are looped back with rib
bons, upon which are embroidered in
chenille chrysanthemums and morn
Ing glories. In one corner of the room
hangs gilt canary cage occupied by
sweet voiced bit of yellow fluff. To
protect the walls from being splashed
when Mr.. Canary takes his morning
dip the lower part of the cage is drap-
ed by gathered curtain of the net,
which is drawn under the cage and
tied with ribbon that matches that on
the curtains.

Where no regular system of ventila-

several inches, resting on board made
to fit the window, thus forcing an in

An adjoining room may be we'll ven
