Parted Lips Soften Photograph

A woman was being posed for her
photograph in gallery the other day
when a well known actress happened
in She stood few moments watching
the struggles of the sitter to assume a
satisfactory expression, AT last she
offered a small suggestion. If you will
moisten the lips and slightly part
Them" said she. ''you will find the face
takes on a natural. unstrained express
sion at once. When the photograph is
finished the mouth will not appear to be
open in the least. but there will be a
soft line where the lips meet. The teeth
will not show unless the lips are sep
arated considerably But as for that"
she added, many face looks its
prettiest with the teeth showing wee
bit-not displayed in grin, you know,
but merely suggested" The woman
who was being taken took the advice,
and the pictures turned out to be the
most satisfactory she ever had posed
for.

How to Heat Cold Rooms In Wintry
Weather.
In these winter days the home with
the furnace heat. the hot water radia-
tor or the steam radiator may find the
heating apparatus, Of whatever kind.
baking occasionally and leaving the
house cold
Traditionally every house that is
heated by the hot air furnace has zone

quently is that particular upstairs
room against which the cold winds
are blowing most directly. Likely this
room is the northwest room of up
stairs, as the northwest wind IL keen
est. What should one do to bring up
the hot air from the furnace?
That simplest thing is for the fur
mace attendant to discover the cold
pipe leading to the room and cut off
for few minutes the heat TO every
other pipe leading from the furnace.
At once this forces the combined heat
from the furnace into the one open
delivery pipe whose cutoff remains
wide open. This body Of heat forces
out the heavy cold air that has been
blocking that particular pipe as effec-
tually as If the pipe were full of fro
zen water. After a few minutes, in
which the pipe warns and warmth
permeates the room. the "cold" room
is rendered comfortable thereafter.
Presenting that one has an electric
fan, however. the fan is one Of the
easiest Instruments for correcting the
stubborn hot air register. the hot wa
ter radiator or the steam radiator in
the cold room.
TO urge the electric fan on the hot
air register place the fan with its back
close to the register and turn on at
full speed. This acts us suction
pump. pulling the cold air from the
furnace pipe and drawing the heat
into the room.
In the case Of baiky steam radi
ator especially open a window and
>turn the fan blast of cold air against
the radiator. Whatever slight heat is
in the radiator will be contracted by
cooling and the tendency toward q
vacuum will serve to draw upon great
er warmth down the pipe As the
steam Tor water, moves up into the
radiator the continuation of the cool
ing and contraction forces the further
impetus of the heat until the desired
warmth Is attained.
One further statement may iuterest
the reader. Hot water and steam heat
are the driest of all forms of heat de-
livered into the modern house The
hot water and hot. moist steam Ia the
radiator are sealed there. One can
not bring an artificial heat of ~ de-
grees +. by means of the hot radia-
tor without making the winter atluOs

these fixtures alone will make the at
