Many Way. to ESCAPE Heat.


We arc very much inclined to think
when summer comes that everyone
leaves the city But the facts are a
very small percentage of the popula-
ton leaves for the entire season, and
it is not by any means a majority of
women in the home who go away
for even u week.
1t is true that the boys and girls
employed have a weeks vacation and
usually go away for the change
not rest especially, for they take that
after the vacation is over-but father
and mother cannot get away often
comforts which possibly can, be
planned for the home should be
theirs, R,es
AS l have said before. have the
home clean and sanitary and few
"ixings" to handle. Who wants to
spend these beautiful summer days
busting vases and things when he
could and should be living in the
out of doors? So ] beg OF you, put
away all extra thing"
draperies and curtains. unless they
which are not hard to keep clean and
il tied back do not exclude the air.
! do not believe in making the
home so bare that It is uninviting.
Neither do | want it so attractive
you will not want to leave it, but
clean and cool Keep the hot air out
in the middle of the day so it will
be comfortable for sleeping.
Most houses or apartments have a
front and back porch 1t is this
porch near the kitchen which l should
like to see used overtime this summer.
There are so many things which can
be done there-picking over fruit,
preparing vegetables. making mayon-
naise-in fact. everything should be
done on this porch unless it is the
actual baking and cooking in the
stove.
Escape Kitchen Heat.
! 1t Is hard to believe. but certainly
/ true that the average woman VIII
stand at a. table near hot stove in
summer and shell peas or peel pota-
toes rathen than sit down on the
porch and do it,, She will likely say
lit is too much bother to go out Oh
the porch Just try it and you Will
then get the habit and be healthier
and better natured.
know a woman who has her sew
ing machine on the porch. and she
is near to watch her dinner cooking
or any baking while she sews, ana
at the same time is drinking in the
fresh air and change of scene. NO
matter how small the porch may be
| there is surely room for a cnalr,
| where one can sit and do the neces-
sary things in the morning with
much added pleasure and comfort.
The front, or preferably the side
porch. is where we should live the
rest of the day. Awnings add to the
! attractiveness and comfort of q
porch and screens are a necessity,
These NAV be the regulation screens,
! or of bamboo or denim These are
hung with two between every two
] posts or pillars. from a regular pole,
either by rings or hem deep enough
to allow Of free movement. They are
! as close to the rail as possible; held
| together when in use by snap-hook
/ fasteners and provided with wide
| strips of self-material toN hold them
hack to the pillars when not needed.
Being heavily weighted at the bot

when the entire porch is not thus
protected one end is sometimes en-

fitted into castings glass may be sub
