The Refrigerator.

The refrigerator, it need hardly be
pointed out, is not, in strict sense,
part of the kitchen furnishing. The
kitchen Is the last place in the house in
which to keep refrigerator. But it
is an essential part Of the equipment
of the kitchen department. In city
houses h its place will generally be II II
stand under porch just outside the
kitchen door, or in another convenient
spot, where it may be easily reached
from within and be as cool as possible.
Special provision for refrigerator
should be made in every newly built
house. 1t should never be exposed to
the south or west, or stood against
walls in those directions. If north
wall is unavailable, as being without
used, as that receives less sun during
the day than the south and west walls.
A refrigerator so placed that the ice
can be put in thru an outside window
or opening is a vast convenience.
Of refrigerators in general it should
be pointed out that whatever kind Sc
lected it must be of size proportion
ate to the necessary requirements. That
is to say, it is as bad to have a re-
frlgerator too large as one that is too
small. A large refrigerator is costly
in consuming. ice, a small piece Of ice
that is sufficient for moderate sized
refrigerator being totally inadequate
to large one. In small refrigerator
the contents are apt to be piled to-
gether Unfortunately, whereas the
careful housekeeper is fully alive to the
necessity of keeping many kinds Of
foods separate. especially milk and but
ter, which quickly absorb odors from
vegetables and other foods. J q

scrupulously cleaned. It should be
washed out with >scalding water and
washing soda at least once a week;
this washing should be literally thoro
and should extend to every part. The
shelving should be Of smooth woven
wire, as offering the least obstruction
to a free circulation. If a stale odor
should be detected at any time the
shelves should be taken out and boiled
for at least twenty minutes. The waste
pipe must always be thoroly washed
when the refrigerator is cleaned. and
under no circumstances whatever should
it, be directly. connected with a sewer
pipe. 49,.

REALTY MARKET STRONG
Synopsis of Situation Given by Prom
inent Dealer.

The real estate situation, as it is
viewed by the majority of the real
estate agents, seemingly is set forth
by Jerome B. Tabour of the Tabour
Reality company. Altho other agents
were interviewed, with variations, their
voiced by Mr.. Tabour.
Some agents say, that the first six
r-onths have been disappointment, for
the business and values have not been
up to the standard of other cities Of
less population and Importance. How.
ever that may be, when. it comes to
comparison with previous years in Min
neapolis, the market today gives a fine
account Of itself. -
t. Large deals have not been so nu-
nlerous as had been expected, but those
that have been closed have been for In
vestment or for consumption. The
sales of lots for working people have
been tremendous. One firm sold thirty
seven last week before the addition was
fairly on. the market.
Mr.. Tabour says: .stOur business for
business by I should say IS per cent,
and for the last portion of the six
months is 1000 per cent better than it
"Thee market feeling" is exceedingly
strong. People are buying property
that year ago they would not con.
sider buying at all, on account of the
confidence in the market and the con-
fdence in the future, showing it by
their actions. ~. ft1F-. ! III NJ
"The business is largely in improved
property, which is always a good indi.
cation, and practically all Of the sales
are for actual Improvement. The de.
mand for property as an investment is
good. On the whole, tho market looks
better than it has for twenty years
and it is better, and in my opinion il
will be better for several years to come
breaker with us. We are, getting tc
the. season Of the year, when we do moi
expect. SO much business but tits com

Harmony and Simplicity.

q Harmony Of color and simplicity Of
arrangement are two vital points in
house furnishing, and absence of the
trivial is as a third. Possibly the third
should be placed first, for it's impor,
tance can hardly be overestimated. It
is IN the small things of the house that
the greatest sins are committed.
Many people believe these principles
but few, are successful in carrying them
out. The majority of houses have good
furniture. many have good wallpapers,
rugs and pictures. Yet there are few
good interiors. If the really we'll
dressed people, of ones acquaintance
also true that the wellfurnished houses
can be enumerated in like mannerf
These satisfactory houses stand apart
from all the others. Why? They do
not conaEene any better furniture, or
any better rugs, or any better pictures,
but they embody a few of the vital
things.
The small things are often good, but
there are too many of them and they
serve no useful purpose. Two brass
candlcstlcks on mantel are better
than seven; one or two pieces of pot
terry are more interesting than a dozen;
and a few pictures are far better from
a decorative standpoint than num-
Der. This is not a comparison Of quail
!tAeo' Dtt olHi!'lF VI utdHtlCleS we all
know that few good things are better
than lot of poor things, but we have
not yet learned that few good things
are better than lot of good things.
The crowding together of many articles,
no matter how attractive each may be,
is always a mistake. They become triv-
ial at once. They are superfuous in
the sense that they fail to contribute
either to use or beauty. They are a.
hindrance to comfort. to order and to
happiness. .l
Under the head of vital things, order
should be written in large capitals. No
house is beautiful if it's laws are dis
regarded. The order that faints at the
sight Of speck Of dust, the order that
locates every chair and table by AZ
chalk mark the order that cannot toler-
ate misplaced book, is not to be thus
written. This order is not vital. It
was once called good housekeeping. but
it is not considered good home-making.
and never can be. II has wrecked
homes quite as successfully as the ga.
loon. -''
The order that makes for restfulness
and for comfort is vital. It cannot ex-
ist in crowded rooms. Furniture is made
to be used, and books are made to be
read: If the disarranging Of a chair
or the misplacing of a book upsets the
order OF q room, something is wrong.
and the something is the crowded
condition. Get rid of the supertiuous.
Most rooms have too many pieces If

things. ,-. -.s : -

Prospect Of an uptown "swell' res.

type, is a development Of changes in
leaseholds on Nicollet avenue.
! Leopold Metzger Of S. Jacobs & Co.,
holder of the new leases at 526-528 Mic

ness to fix up the basement Of the two
store fronts for restaurant purposes,
provided the right persons desire to
make the lease. . -.
On his next trip east Mr.. Metzger

possibly close arrangements for a cafe

Second Prize Story.

Edith Abel, who won the second
prize, presents an attractive and effec-
tive summary of Minneapolis attrac-
tions for a home city. She writes as
follows:
Because there Is no city to compare with 1t

sentials of u home. -....-,. e
Where, indeed, can be found so beautiful a
locality as the residential district of Mime
apolis? Wide streets are lined and double
lined with magnificent forest trees and bor-
dered by the beautiful gardens and the finely
trimmed lawns of thousands of prosperous homes;
all equally well-kept up. from those modest
ones Of the workingman, to the palaces OF the
-four, grain and lumber princes.
Where In the whole country. can be found
the charming lakes, with their crystal clear wa
ters, at the very city gates? Chains of lakes
not one merely, but dozen. large and small
exist, and ali scrupulously cared for by the
city, all accessible to the weary business man
who builds his home OIL their shores, and
breathes from ,nightfall until sunrise the fra
grant odors Of woods and flowers. while from
his door he could, but for the intervening for
