EIGHT HOURS OF OK YGEN
By MRS CHRISTINE FREDERICK
AUTHOR o FNEM HousEKEEPING.

Not every housewife can have eight
hours a day outdoors, but every one can
have eight hours a night outdoors II she
adopts the ''outd0or-sleeping' habit. One
OF the chief criticisms leveled against
housework is that it is too confning and
does not give the woman sufficient time
for outdoor physical exercise and abun-
daht fresh air. Kitchen odOr, bad Yentlla-
tion, the dust and dirt attendant upon
various cleaning processes. all these are
urged as reasons against the wholesome
ness of housework. We know that proper
ventilation and comfort can be secured In
every household task. and that by proper
scheduling and arranging of work every
woman can manage to have time for OUT
doors daily.
But to no one group should the outdoor
sleeping habit appeal more strongly than
to the housekeeper, 1t is not solely the
adoption OF a fad which has made Anne
ricans so keen to follow the plan of sleep
Ing In the OPEN When we think that for
six or eight hours our lungs are con-
stantly breathing in sleep, we see how

or places OF work may be. there Is only
one place where constant pure air can be
secured. and that is outdoors

The demi-toretts is very welcome in

Another girl answers this debatable
question by wearing her tailored suit and

suit was OF dull Gobelin blue broadcloth.

Sho-sho-ne acagawea-captive and
wife was she
On the grassy plains of Dakota in the
land of the Minnetaree;
But she heard the west wind calling,
and longed to follow the sun
Back to the shining mountains. q.
So, when the valiant captains, fain
for the Asian sea, e.
Stayed their marvellous journey in
the land Of the Minentaree.
(The Red Men Wandering, wary

Friendly now, now hostile, as they
toiled the wilderness through) -,
Glad she turned from the grassy
plains and led their way to the
West,
Her course as true as the swans
that flew north to its reedy nest
Her eye as keen as the eagles wher.
the young lambs feed below
Her ear alert as the stag's at morn
guarding the fawn and doe.
Straight was she as a hillside fir,
1.-THE as the willow tree,
And her foot as fleet as the antelope's
when the hunter rides the lea;
In broidered tunic and moccasins,
with braided raven hair.
And closely belted buffalo robes with
her baby nesting there
Girl of but sixteen summers, the
homing bird of the quest,
Free of the tongues of the mountains,
deep on her heart imprest,
Sho-sho-ne Sa-ca-ga-wea led the way
to the West.
To Missouri's broad savannas dark
with bison and deer,
While the grizzly roamed the savage
shore and cougar and wolf
prowled near;
To the cataract's leap, and the mea-
dows with lily and rose abloom;
The sunless trails of the forest. and
the canyons hush and gloom:
By the veins of gold and silver, and
the mountains vast and grim
Their SUBMITS lost in
clouds on the wide horizons
rim;
Through somber pass, by soaring
peak, till the Asian wind blew
free,
And 10, the roar of the oregon and
the splendor Of the sea,
Some day, in the lordly upland where
the streams divide
Afoam for the far Atlantic, afoam
from the Pacific's tide
There, by the valiant captains whose
glory will never dim
While the sun goes down to the Asian
sea and the stars in ether swim.
