Wha+ Is Supposed to Have Happened
After It Was Made.
g a window is an aperture in an other
wise anbroken wall. It, the said aper-
ture, was invented for at least two rea-
soas--one to provide air and the other
to erabIe the light to penetrate the
cell shus saving candles, coal oil, gas
or electricity, as the case and commu-
nifty and time may be-
No hotel proprietor ever invented the
window. No record exists OF the age
or origin Of the window, but common
sense teaches US that some cave man
started the custom Of windowing hab-
itaioas by poking hole through the
clay Yan OF his residence and finding
the: resultant light and air good to see
and to feel.
{ Whereupon Mrs. Caredweller shifted
contemptnously and fastened the
