By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

The unmarried business woman only
begins to realize when the hot days OF
summer come how uncomfortable she is
in her boarding-ho room, the door
of which must be keep closed day and
night if she would assure herself of
any privacy whatever.
The home-making instinct, which is
innate with her at all periods, clamors
madly when physical discomfort is added
10 it, and she turns to the apartment,
small in its proportions, but infinitely
more comfortable than the narrow walls
of her one small room.
If she goes in alone for a home there
are a few snares and delusions which
she will be most wise in avoiding.
In the first of all places the furnishing
of the little home is a vast consideration.
She will make a big mistake If she
Grams her apartment with useless knick-
knacks. pictures. china, and draperies-
The palmer the lines to which she ad-
heres in furnishings the more restful will
be the little nest she has selected
The avoidance OF muslin draperies and
hangings while the weather is hot will
not only spare her the collection of dust
and germs. but save her laundry bills and
insure better ventilation in her rooms.

Her First Consideration Is Simplicity in Furnish

Intimate Friendships.

one without a sacrifice Of space much
needed for other things, can hang her
delicate frocks in large bags made of
calico under an improvised fowered
chintz curtain. on hooks or nails that
have been driven into the wall.
Most apartments. however, are supplied
with sufficient closet room for the hang
ing of ones clothing, which is point
worth while seeing to in selecting a place
in which to live.
The woman who determines to make at
least a scrap Of a home for herself has
in mind, of course, her physical comfort
and peace of mind. both of which will
be sacrificed unless she is careful of the
friends she makes
Not Wise to Form Intfmacies.
1t is not a wise thing TO form intimacies
with the folk who live in the same apart
ment that you do Perhaps such course
will leave a woman with lonely hours on
her hands. but this is infinitely better
than forming friendships that are very
likely to become unpleasantly familiar
and infringe upon ones hours Of recuper-
ative rest.
The woman who works in an Office all
day wants. above all else, a chance to
relax both mentally and physically when
she reaches home.
The very friend she has made in her
new surroundings is very likely to form
a habit OF dropping into her apartment
just when she has settled down with a
book for a happy, restful hour. or when
she is taking cure for headache.
The woman living alone should take
extra precaution to avoid condolences
They have an unpleasant way of spread
ing through an apartment house from
the very source which one may think
discreet and trustworthy.
Discretion does not imply snobbishness
The woman who lives alone can be cor
dial and affable in her manner without
forming intimate friends. and she may
restrict her friendships without being
snobbish.

TURPENTINE HAS MANY
USES AROUND HOUSE

Turpentine has many uses about the
house. A mixture of two parts olive
oil and one part OF turpentine will re-
move spots and finger marks from var
nished furniture. while a few drops OF
turpentine in trunks and boxes win
keep moths away.
A flannel dipped in hot water and
sprinkled with turpentine is a remedy
for a hoarse throat, while a rag soaked
in this fluid put into a mousehole will
destroy mice more effectively than a
trap or poison.

One would naturally think with SO
many poppies about that the people liv-
ing there would always be tired and
sleepy, but such is not the case-rather
the little folks of Poppytown are just
as full of life and fun as can be.
You see, it is the Chinese poppies
which contain the poisonous opium, and
not the kind that grew in poppyland.
Bennie Bunting was one of the little
boys who lived in that strange land of
mountains and flowers, and he was a
dear little fellow with a sunshiny face
and a kind word for everyone.
He stood looking out of the window,
watching the countless poppies lifting
up their scarlet heads to greet the fall
ing raindrops. 1t wasn't raining very
hard. Only one small, black cloud hung
very low in the clear, blue sky, and
Bennie thought how wonderful it was
that God could send just single cloud
full of clear, cool water to quench the
thirst of the flowers.
The little cloud had hidden the SUN
and of sudden Bennie noticed won-
derful transformation in the sky. He
pressed his nose close to the window
pane and watched, hardly daring to
breathe. for he beheld, extending from
one end of the sky to the other,

ANSWER FILED IN
WATERWORKS CASE
City of Fargo Makes Defense
Against Suit Brought to
Stop Operations.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. Nv. ii. Shure,
city attorney Of Fargo. has filed his
answer in the case of w. j. Price
against the city and James Kennedy,
asking for an injunction to stop the
work on the filtration plant OF the
city. The answer denies the several
charges OF the plaintiff that the con-
tract and several other things leading
up to the letting OF the contract, We're
not conducted on a legitimate basis.
The defendants deny each and
every charge Of the complaint and
cacn and every allegation in each
paragraph thereof which they do not
specifically admit, qualify or modify.
In the answer of the defendants
there is no mention or direct answer
made to the allegations OF the plain
tiff that the defendants allowed the
contract in an unfair and unjust man
ner. The defendants deny such
charges in broad manner and admit
none of the more serious allegations
of the plaintiff.
1t will be remembered that the
plaintiff accused tho defendants of al
lowing the contract unfairly, and
''that there could be no competitive
bidding for the erection and construc-
ton of said water filtration plant"
1t was further alleged that the ad-
vertisement for the proposals of bids
for the construction and erection of
said water filtration plant hereinbe-
fore set forth were insufficient and
invalid"
The defense says chat the plaintiff,
w. ]. Price, was one of the bidders;
that his bid was not the lowest or the
best bid and it was, therefore, re-
jected; that the plaintiff (Price) ac-
cepted the rejection of his said bid
and has taken no steps to enforce the
same or make claim to any rights
hereunder" Furthermore, the an
swer says "that the contract was let
to James Kennedy, who was the low
est and best bidder on said filtration
plant"
