MIDSUMMER is ON US
TIE PROBLEM is HOW TO KEEP
COOL
Good Housekeepers Arrange Their
Work So as to Have the Afternoon
for Nap or to Rest on a Cool and
Shady Veranda.

There is no time for wasting time
like the summer. For the coming six
weeks we may expect scorching hot
weather and the man or woman VINO
accomplishes anything in the dog days
is very energetic person. And yet
life has to go on just the same ana
there are many human treadm1llS I'M
able to obtain a holiday no matter
what the thermometer is. But most
women are able, at least. to rest in the
afternoon, so the down. town streets
after the morning in summer present
rather a deserted appearance. The
good houSekeeper does all her house
errands in the morning and gives up
the afternoon to a nap and to the
effort to keep cool. The magazines and
women's papers are full of advice as
ITO cooling processes and how to mix a
summer drink that is at once harmless
and refreshing. This is the time OF
year when the Country club is of the
greatest value to it's stay-at-home
members and it's piaZZaS are full of
lpeopIe every evening. Even golf and
tennis languish a little in the hottest
days, but there are some enthusiasts
whom nothing short Of a sun stroke
can keep off the links.
When it comes to baths, the sensible
woman will take her cold sponge in
the morning and a warm, almost hot,
bath in the afternoon before dressing
for dinner Many persons who think
otherwise to the contrary notwith-
standing, a hot bath cools one much
quicker than the cold, as the air out
side seems cooler by contrast. The
best way, however, in summer. to rise
above weather and not complain about
every added degree of temperature, is
to keep about ones usual work and be
so busy as to forget whether it is warm
or cold. One of the biggest bores in
the world is he or she who is constant
~ complaining about the heat or cold
making every one wretched about
them The seasons are pretty we'll ar
ranged and each as it comes has its
drawbacks and its compensations.
The school for girls to be opened in
September by Mrs. C. w. Backus and
