MANY WAYS TO ESCAPE HEAT.

We are 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 a week.
1t is true that the boys and girls en-
ployed have a weeks vacation and usu-
ally go away for the change-not rest
especially, for they take that after the
vacation is over-but father and moth
er cannot get away often for any
length of time. So all the comforts
which possibly can be planned for the
home should be theirs.
AS have said before, have the home
clean and sanitary and few "fixings"
to handle. Who wants to spend these
beautiful summer days busting vases
and things when she could and should
be living out of doors? So beg of
you, put away all extra things
heavy draperies and curtains, unless
they are of inexpensive muslin or
scrim, which are not hard to keep
clean and if 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 fol
sleeping.
Most houses or apartments have
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 car
be done there-picking over fruit, pre-
| barring vegetables, making mayonnaist
in fact, everything should be done
on this porch unless it is the actua
baking and cooking.
| ESCAPE KITCHEN HEAT.
1t is hard to believe, but certainl!
true, that the average woman will
stand at a table near hot stove il
summer and shell peas or peel pota
toes rather than sit down on the porcl
and do it, She will likely say ''it II
too much bother to go out on thu
porch" Just try it and you will thel
get the habit and be healthier and bet
ter natured.
