SOMETHING ABOUT CRANBERRIEs,

SEEKING COMFORT.

One of the first rules for warding
off nerve storms is to make oneself as
comfortable as possible when at work;
a second is to ignore what one cannot
have. a third persistently to push
aside unpleasant recollections and to
take up some vigorous exercises or to
sing and sing and sing until the ten
dency has fed. Very often when sew
ing woman will sit in a chair two
inches too high 70 rher, just enough
to necessitate a strain upon the toe and

FROZEN PIPES.

If water pipes become frozen between
the house and street, do not have the
front yard dug up so that they may be
thawed out. Instead call in the local
electric light company and have the
pipes thawed electrically. The electric
light manager will understand how to
proceed. A transformer of suitable size
IS connected into circuit; one lead of the
secondary is connected to the water
valve or pipe near the curb and the
other lead is connected to the water
piping in the house. The current is
then turned on. and the heat developed
by the resistance Of the water pipe TO
the flow of the electric current soon
thaws out the pipe. a number of cleo
trical manufacturers now market a pipe
thawing outfit which a great many Of
the electric light companies have pur-
chased for local use.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

An architect has contrived to warm
a number of rooms with coils of pipe
placed under the 'ndow seats. This
does away entirely with the purchase
OF q radiator and is effective. since the
cold spots in a room are always near
the windows. In the corner Of din
Ing room one of the small round-t topped
raditors manages to heat the room and
at the same time to keep piping hot all
the dishes which are TO be used This
perhaps does not appear to be an ar
tistic scheme but it Is an unusually
comfortable one.

HOLDING THE SAUCER.

Do you know that there IS a cor
rect and an incorrect way to hold the
saucer in which your teacup rests
The correctness consists in whether or
not it is held gracefully. Watch the
women at an afternoon tea and you
will see that not all, indeed very few
handle the cup and saucer in the most
engaging way. Here is the secret:
Instead of holding the saucer with the
four fingers placed beneath it and the
thumb above the rim-as nearly every
woman does-from a half circle with
the thumb and first finger, clasping the
saucer in it and giving a light sup
port from below with the third and
fourth fingers. A woman who does
this may have the largest rands in
the room, but they will appear the
most graceful and charmingly man
aged.
