Class.

The art class of the St. Johnsbury
Woman's Club met at Miss Bingham's
studio Thursday afternoon. There were
25 ladies present to hear the first of the
talks Dr. Barnes is giving the class. The
subject, THE nature of beauty" was a
new one to most of DR.. Barnes hearers,
and changed many of their ideas of the
real meaning of the word. Most people
think of beauty as purely objective, but
DIR. Barnes explained that it is also and
quite as much subjective. The talk was
very much enjoyed and appreciated. The
class will meet again this Thursday at
the same place and hour, subject, 1.-THE
scope of the fine arts.

Bells are understood to have had
their origin in China, but at so remote
given. Their first use was to clear the
air OF evil spirits and to drive off the
storms. Old European records tell
how the tolling of bells kept the
devils from assaulting believers;
hence their connection with churches.
Bells may be traced in Europe back
to the sixth century, but were not
generally introduced into the western
church much before the eighth Gen.

have in a house of this kind the more
work you have in keeping them in
order. A summer home, whether
camp or cottage, should be as simple
AS possible. One of the first things to
learn about summer camp life is to
take nothing but what you actually
need. Camping is the time to appre-
ciate the old woman's remark:
blessed be nothin'." You enjoy your
outing better when you have little to
look after and you enjoy your home
life afterwards because Of the con-
trast.
Furniture is a nuisance, but you
must have a few chairs, table or two,
and a poker to stir the fire. Then you
need some homemade settees 6h

need no curtains. Plain dark shades
that work on spring rollers only are
necessary. Curtains are a nuisance
They are in the way in a summer
home and entirely unnecessary.
The one large chimney in the center
of the house answers for the fireplace
and for the kitchen range, which is
not only cheaper, but more satisfac-
tory than having two chimneys. A
large chimney in the center of a house
is almost sure to draw better than a
little chimney in the kitchen as such
chimneys are usually built.
Although simplicity is desirable,
some things must be right, and the
kitchen stove is one of them. l have
seen expensive summer homes where
money was lavished on the front part
of the house and an old secondhand
range set up in the kitchen, with a
rusty, loose-jointed pipe running into
a little four-inch flue that didn't have
draft enough for tobacco pipe.
You get hungry when you are en-
joying a summer outing as you never
do at any other time during the year.
1t is far more sensible to pay strict
attention to the utility end of house
than it is to make a special effort to
please casual callers. 1t is not neces-
sary to buy fancy high-priced steel
range. A good cast-iron stove that
will do good service may be had for
SIS or 500 and 1t will add more
to the comfort of vacation time than
all the fancy bric-a-brac you can crowd
into a front parlor. There are several
avenues that lead to contented
mind, but mans stomach is the old
road, and most men like to have 1t
kept in good repair.
There is no cellar under this house,
but it might be just as well to make
the foundation for the chimney deep
enough so you can dig around IL and
