PURIFYING a Room.

Very often when the dining room is
near the kitchen the odor Of cooking
becomes unpleasant. BY pouring a few
drops of oil of lavender into a glass of
very hot water the air Of the o is
purified almost instantly. This is also
useful in a sickroom. If the lavender
is prepared just before dinner is ready
to be served the room will be filled
with a faint but very acceptable odor
Of freshness.
