A New York girl who has recently
taken up her abode in Los Angeles
writes to an eastern friend:
'"They have light housekeeping down
to science here. Harlem flats are not
in it for a minute The other day I
saw sign Patent Housekeeping

ton instantly seized me. / went in
and asked to see them 1t was
three story building on a business
street, the first floor stores and the
other two devoted to the p. H. A.
The lady unlocked a door and ushered
me into a fair sized room having In it
a couch, a little table with shelf I'M
derneath and a few chairs. She open
ed one door, really half of a double
door, and saw fastened on it at a
convenient height a gas cooking stove
ready for use. On the inside of the
other half of the door was hung a
good sized board. She rolled the table
adjusted 1t on top Of the table, and,
behold, dining tablet
''The good sized closet behind the
doors was fitted up as a kitchen, with
dressers for dishes, sink and marble
open washstand Closing the kitchen
and clearing away the dining table,
she opened a narrow slit III the wall,
pulled ont q movable curtain on a
frame, and there was a bedroom. Then
in a larger recess she touched a spring,
and down came a folding bed. Behind
the bed was a closet for clothing. So
there it was, living room, dining room,
kitchen and two bedrooms with a clos

AS to Backbiting Friends.

when you find out you have a
friend who talks about you behind
your back let her go at once,' remark
ed Miss Wisely as she seornfully tore
up note of apology. Don't take her
on trial again She won't stop BELT
ting you. That is in her nature. She
will only be more cautious about it,
and you won't be aware she is doing
you harm until you receive some real
~ serious inju1. from her which will
open your eyes 800 late. Better let
her go right away
Half the wear and tear housekeepers
complain OF arises from their own dis
orderly habits.
Order is the greatest time and nerve
saver possible.
Some women can live neatly in a
hall bedroom; others haven't room to
turn around in a nine room apartment.
It's all a question Of method.
why do keep my house in such
good order?' said a friend of mine.
Because i remember what my father
used to tell us. He would say: Chill
dren, why do you give yourselves extra
work by making two movements In
stead OF one? One movement puts
your hat and your coat In the q set,
but when you throw them on a chair
you have first that movement and then
another movement later or to pick
them up and put them away"

When tired Of this they can change
it somewhat by saying:

He will perhaps say, .'And / will fur

Representative Joseph Fl. Gaines Of
West Virginia is not related by blood,
temperament or politics to Representa-
tive John Wesley Gaines Of Tennessee,
described by the poet as that 'monu-
mental pile Of brains" Nor has the
West Virginian developed that flow of
speech which impels the silver red Ten
nesseean to butt into the remarks Of
every man who attempts to speak. no
matter what the subject Joe has yet
to make his first speech. and John new
er makes fewer than twenty five a

enough to take command rank in the
capitol police.
There used to be a man at the coat
room il the Metropolitan club he said
the other day, who always insisted or
helping me on with my coat. We call
ed him Bismarck. He was little chap
who only came about up to my waist,
and it was awkward business for him
to handle the coat for me without get
ting on chair. But stood it rather
than hurt his feelings, and he seemed
to take a special interest in me for
that reason. One night sat late in the
club, reading, and when | got up to go
everybody else had left. Bismarck
brought my coat, and we struggled
through the usual circus performance
Then as soon as he got his breath he
said;

feet us grown people so painfully what
must they do to the sensitive ears of
little children?
Really, American mothers might cas-
lily take lessons from the Japanese.
Japanese women are said to be ex-
ceptlonally healthy and strong strong
err even than their men kind.
One reason why the Japanese WON
an is so healthy is because her nervous
system has never been racked to pieces
as child That health is largely de
pendent on peace Of mind no one
doubts nowadays, and the Japanese
baby is brought up in an atmosphere Of
quiet simplicity and leisure. She is
never roughly pulled around or hustled.
No one screams at her or makes swift
movements In her direction She is
dressed loosely and comfortably. She
lives largely in the open air, for even
in the house the windows are always
wide open. Nothing conduces quicker
to nervousness and irritability than the
lack Of plenty of fresh air, although
few people seem to realize it. Her
food, too. is simple and light, so that
it is easily digested. She does not fret
and cry because of the misery her poor
little stomach is In.

ever, he didn't meet any of the family.

against a pink cushion with a pink
light near by falling on her hair and
face. Well, you'll admit that was rath-

had simply dropped in to have a jolly
little conversation with a girl he had

him up over the telephone at his office,

him another one reproducing him for
not doing so. Well. the young man be-

That SMALL ROOM.

How to Furnish 1t Simply and At

Very often in the modern house there
is small room leading from the parIor

Why not adopt the idea suggested in

Of it?
A pretty desk and two chairs are the
essentials. The satinwood secretary in
the illustration is really a thing of
