SITTING THESE TIGHT SKIRT DAYS.

tainly she would like to hear that she
is looking very sweet and pretty and
that the dinner is excellent that they
will take a pleasant little trip one of
these spring Saturday afternoons, and
doesn't she need a new spring frock?
She would like to reply suitably to
all these things. make some remarks
sisters-in-law in general and one in
particular and offer her opinion per-
haps on the suffrage question and
bodern domestics. all of which pro-
nouncements could come as we'll from
his stenographer or the woman who
sits next to him in the car. There is
nothing "wifey" about them.
And it is the intimate talk which the
husband really values, the ready SYM
patty for his difficulties and the quick
appreciation of his tactics. He wants
from his wife that which the world
cannot give. And it's a pretty poor
story when she complains. as did my
visitor, that her husbands affairs
bored her.
wife may by happy inspiration solve
a problem or suggest way out of the
difficulty which has been worrying the
husband for days. Trust him to dis
cover. no matter how deftly she does
1t, whether she changes the conversa-
ton because she is sick of the subject
or from genuine desire to turn his

The Outdoor Sleeping Room.
To change the subject you remem-
Der, dear, how l took up the craze last
summer of sleeping on the porch in a
Gloucester hammock and how the
chickens roasted on my head and
crowed me away from my early morn
ing slumbers. The porch being down
stairs. the maid wanted to sweep the
floor before breakfast. Well things
were so impossible that | gave up
sleeping in the open and returned TO
my, own bedroom. When remodelng
tia house recently our architect sug-
geSted TO me the possibility Of making
several outdoor sleeping rooms from
an ordinary upstairs apartment, and as
we thought the plan a good one we let
him go ahead with the work. a
mighty good work it has proved These
outdoor sleeping rooms consist Of
suit of three apartments. The corner
room is furnished in hospital style in
a strictly sanitary manner. Large
windows are provided. which give an
unlimited amount of fresh air. Of
this room is the dressing room, which
is heated. and | have all my pretty
furnishings for the toilet that l had In
my other dressing room. The third
room is the bath.
But really, dear. even if one did not
want to go to the expense Of having
suit like ours it is at least possible
10 treat the bedroom in sensible and
hygienic way.
One mistake our architect pointed
out to us to be found in sleeping rooms
Is the placing of the bed. which often
occupies corner. Study any room
where the bed is so placed and note
the chance that the air has to reach
the person who sleeps in the bed.
Particularly is the position of the bed
a matter of comfort in summer. But
here endeth my lecture upon HYGIENE
household arrangement.
What She Had Heard.
i have just thought Of good story
apropos of furnishings that l read re
cclkly in the Success Magazine.
