The fear of soiling white curtains
and also of admitting dust and dirt in
to the rooms where it can settle on
furniture and ornaments is quite as
much responsible for the closed win
dow habit as is the dislike of draughts
1t is hard to overcome prejudice, and
harder still to root out an old estab-

elementary facts of hygiene should
be taught plainly and simply to elder
girls in school so that wiser habits

Gated.
To abolish curtains altogether from
the windows of private dwellings
would be, perhaps, too much to expect
of the present generation. but If this
