Don't rumple up your gloves in a ball

Don't squeeze your hand into gloves

HOW TO FIX THE VERANDA,
Make IT an Attractive Living Room
For the Hot DAYS.

During the hot weather the veranda
is practically the living room of the
family. The feminine members of the
household use it for gossiping, sewing
and reading, and the men like to linger
there after the evening meal and enjoy
their cigars and papers. An attractive
veranda means an attractive summer
home, and its owner will be more than
repaid for the money and trouble ex-
pended upon it.
