TO KEEP ROOMS
COOL IN SUMMER

No matter where you live, whether
In town or country. the surest way to
make the house cool Is to keep the
windows shut during the day The
house has had q good airing during
the night II the windows have been
wide open. Then when you close them
all day and open them at shutdown the
atmosphere win be delightfully."- cool.
Life in tropical countries during hot
weather would be impossible unless
this procedure were followed. It Is a
fine plan. therefore. before the sun be-
gins to strike warmly on the house for
the housekeeper to see that every
blind in the place Is closed. 1t makes
no difference If the sun does not reach
that particular window; the mere fact
that the temperature is affected is
enough to require that 1t shall be ex-
cluded.
In the country q greater current of
air may be secured by "bowing' the
blinds. This consists in putting them
on a short hook that will hold them to-
gether at the outer edges. SO that the
latter two just meet. This means that
the blinds are about one-quarter open.
A long hook. going from the window
sill to the bottom of the blind. Is re-
Quired to prevent the wind from blow
ing In quite fat In this way the sun
IL kept out, while draft is created.
Windows and blinds in the country
may be opened just as soon as the sun
goes down because foliage does not
hold heat, and when the sun goes none
IL left. But in town pavements and
buildings throw Off heat for several
hours after shutdown, and 1t is wen to
delay opening the windows until after
dusk.
To arrange q room so the windows
can be opened at the top is highly de-
sirable, and in the third or top story
of country house this method should
be considered imperative. No place
holds more heat than the roof, and its
| speedy egress must be arranged for.
II the windows open only at the bot
| tom the top story viii not cool on be-
| fore morning unless there is an air
! chamber above. but with the tops
down 1t will be fresh in q couple Of
hours.
A hand shower to use In the bath
tub is an indispensable article for COM
| fort in hot weather. Unfortunately II
| is expensive. During nights that are
| too humid to sleep one or two showers
may be taken without injury, and they
refresh the body. sometimes by reduc-
ing the temperature and SO making
| rest possible.

Again the unusual combination Of
sheer fabrics with heavy linen comes
to US in charming forms straight from

English eyelet embroidery Is back

Remnants have greater possibilities

So do not neglect the combination of

Any one with the will to do so can
learn to work, but very few learn how
to rest.
Sleeping is not always resting;
neither is doing nothing a good form
of rest. There are certain forms of
Incidence that are more fatiguing than
hard work. Real rest presupposes
sufficient sleep and enough Of the loaf

means more than that.
One of the surest rests is in relaxing.

RAINY DAY HINTS,

When there is danger of a wet car
pet from the overflow OF dripping UNI
brellas on rainy days put q large
sponge in the bottom Of the umbrella
stand to absorb moisture.
If you have a stand of china which
is easily broken put in the bottom of
1t a rubber mat or rubber tubing cofled
into a fiat the desired size.
Never put an umbrella carelessly
into q stand or you may thrust II
through the silk of one already there.
Many a good umbrella is ruined In
this way.
If you have borrowed an umbrella
never put 1t in q public stand, es-
pecially IL 1t is not marked. You may
be mortified to have it carried off and
not be able to return it through no
fault of your own.

milady during the summer

garment, useful and attractive. when
not abused, but that 1t is abused by
some women who appear in kimonos
OF uncertain attractions in and out of
season is a well known fact.
At a summer seaside boarding house
recently a half dozen or so of girls
congregated in the room of the most
popular member of the bunch" for a
talk over-well, you know the sort of
topics a lot of pretty UP to date girls
love to discuss! Each of the girls was
clad in a kimono. and perhaps the
most fetching of all was that worn by
a bright debutante from New York
city. About the only thing that was
at all kimonish(?) belonging to this
garment was the sleeves, which were
of the regulation flowing variety cut
of very short-in fact, above the ell
bow. The material was a charming
white st. Gall swiss scattered with
dots and patterned with daisies. The
rather scant skirt had a deep hem at
the bottom, edged with embroidery
beading threaded with yellow satin
ribbon exactly matching the golden
heart of the marguerites. The short
Waisted bodice crossed in surplice
fashion and was trimmed with frill
of plated lace on the Crossed" side
headed with the ribbon run beading
The wide sleeves had also an effect of
this kind as a finish. About the
slightly heightened waist was a wide
piece of beading run with the ribbon

recently was black. The cap was of

EIXING ones hair in summer is a
much more trying problem than
arranging the winter couture. Only
the woman with curly hair is in COM
fort After so many seasons of waved
hair, puffs and curls it Is hard to get
accustomed to the demure hairdress-

swirl is too heating for summer, so
most women welcome the return of
puffs because of their adaptability.
They can be pinned at any angle that
is becoming. They do not take up

And, apropos Of hats, the small model
is with us again. Just when the NH
liner put it on fashions list or the
smart woman decided to give up the
huge hat is a question. While it is
quite true that the latter is still worn,
it is equally true that the small one is
the smart thing. Very fetching is the
small hat illustrated Of white eyelet
embroidery with a soft black satin
bow. And the chip chapeau with the
white satin bow is charming And

do not heat the head.
For women who cannot go without
a pompadour of some sort there Is to
be recommended the thin roll of curly
hair across the front and sides and the
drawing of their own hair over 1t with
the ends made into a knot at the crown
of the head. This knot is covered or
surrounded with few puffs. The COLI
fure to be seen in the picture is a
charmingly simple and modish way of

with in long time the Hotel Ericks
was destroyed eacly Monday morning
entailing a loss Of between $4,000 aud
$4,000.
The fire evidently originated from
the furnace and when discovered had
gained such Roadway that occupants
had TO leave Immediately without saw
lug their personal belongings Land
lord Taylor lost about 800 which was
in the cash register. The sale when
opened was found intact.
The Kenyon and Potter machine
shop next door was badly scorched and
considerable valuable machinery was
ruined.
The Hotel structure was owned by
Charles Ericks who figures his loss at
$4,000 with only $1,000 insurance.
Chris. Taylor hadonly $1,000 insurance
on the furniture which was worth
many times that amount.
At rear of the Hotel was a small
building in which Stroebel Bros had
stored some dynamite, but this was re-
moved before the fire had gained great
Roadway.
Windows in the rear Of Employs
Block were shattered by the heat.
