HOUSEHOLD LETTER
New YORK, June l4lh.

New YORK, June l4th.
Warm summer days make unusual de-
mands upon vitality and at this season
home comfort needs to be most carefully
studied. 1t is only the comparatively
few that can have cottage so firmly es-
tablished that almost every one gets away
for week or two, where there are novel
surroundings and a complete change of
scene. The more complete the change
the greater is the benefit derived. A wise
mother realizes the need for such change
and can give her home surroundings
an altered appearance, that makes it
a grateful resting place to the tired, warm
husband or children coming home after
strenuous work or play. The woman able
to accomplish this has her reward in the
recognition that 'Mother knows how to
make fellow comfortable, as one grow
ing youth put it. The mother in this
case did not preside over costly house
with many servants to carry out her or
ders, and when asked why her home was
always the centre for meeting of the
young people in the town, and why her
girls and boys preferred home to any
other place said: ~ don't know that
