1t is an acknowledged fact that every
housekeeper should sleep occasionally m
her own guestroom to discover what con-
veniences it requires. The stereotyped de-
scription of a properly furnished room fer
visitors, containing more than necessary
comforts, is absurd, for few women have
sufficient incomes to maintain such ele-
gance. But there are many simple de-
vices that all may possess. For instance,
a small desk or table equipped for writing
is necessity to the comfort of a guest
whose visit is short and who has not
brought her own writing materials. Or,
lacking this convenience. there may be a
portfolio, the making of which is pretty
kind of work. For it four pieces of card
