IMPROVING THE ATTIC.
sussesticns That VIII Help In Making
Il HabitabIe.

In addition to those familiar uses
of attics which are SO vivid when it
rains or when one is cynical or
moody or inclined to be witty at the
expense of bedposts and warming
pans, there are improved uses an at
tic can be put to and still remain an
attic. The feeling of attics-that
sense they give of friendly aliena-
ton from the world below stairs
must not, of course, be lost. If one
desires NO more than a place in
which to tell fairy tales at twilight
the lighting Of a candle might
be change enough in the usual I'M
plastered and left over space. But
that is too simple. Besides, the
taste for fairy tales is not universal,
and it is, moreover, a taste more
natural In the nursery than in the
attic. But a habitable attic must
be anything but dingy. A glass
trapdoor, such as one too often sees,
is not enough. There should be
great dormer window, built low
enough for window seats, and ample
seats at that, large enough to
lounge in. There should be wide
sills, too, for flowers, for an attic
without flowers would be unimagina-
bic. As for the body of the room
the chief thing to do where there
are gables would be to insert a
wainscot all around of, say, five OF
six feet in height. Along this could
be put shelves for books or odds
and ends of whatever kind. A car
pet would be improper, for it is ira
ditional that an attic is bare. In
expensive rugs and skins suggest
themselves mechanically, ike easy
chairs, a work table and lounge.
The fancy includes a piano, pic
lures, glorious andirons, sconces,
while the Imagination leaps to ar
NOR and cabinets. Yet in a proper
attic the furniture should be little |
commonplace with a discarded look, |
if you will, to be in keeping. Things |
half broken down are fit for a
quaint utility there, and as clothes
once decent on Sunday come to be
SO only on Saturday and then on
Friday, and SO on, so odds and ends
as they grow familiar and worn in
other parts of the house have last
old companions in an attic.

$107, 900, which was $1,000 more
than the capital of the institution.
After talking over the matter with

he would guarantee their accounts
with every dollar of his fortune.
