SUMMER CHANGES IN THE HOME

time she had relieved me of my hat and
light wrap and / had become accustomed to
the half obscurity began to perceive what
was the reason of the changed appearance.
The floors were entirely bare except for
two or three light rag rugs. The sofa and
one or two upholstered chairs had white
coverings; the other seats. which I,recog-
nized as the cushioned wicker chairs had
seen on my winter visits to her house. were
stripped of their pillows Small white
cloths were thrown over the tables, all the
portieres had been removed from the door,
ways, and the long curtains which usually
hung at the windows had been replaced by
little sash curtains Of dotted muslin or
cheesecloth Hardly an ornament was to
be seen except q vase or two of field how-
ers. even the pictures had nearly all been
taken down, and those that were left had
plain wooden frames which could easily be
wiped or even washed of.

Had No Heavy Draperies.

l could easily see her point and it COM
mended itself to me at once. She had no
heavy draperies and rugs to brush and beat,
no upholstery to worry over. no brasses to
keep bright, no china bric-A-brac to wash.
A broom with cloth wrapped about it was
passed over the bare floor every day, the
little busting that had to be done took small
time; when her curtains were soiled she
could rinse them out as easily as she could
wash a pocket handkerchief
II l were really sensible, suppose l
would put the books In boxes" she said.
" But that would be like packing my friends
away where l couldn't get at them, and so
l have just hung these wash curtains on
picture wires in front of the books, and YOU
would be surprised to see how the thin
draperies protect them from the dust"
In her bedrooms much the same plan ha d
been followed. She had little upholstery
there, but what she had was covered; there
were only shades at the windows the
draperies of every sort had been taken
down. all superfluous ornaments had been
banished. and she had, as she said, got
down to first principles
In the dining room a square of mating
