VENTILATION OF THE HOME

matically as the temperature of the
room fell below, or rose above. the de-
sired point.
In the more modern type of steam
heating systems the radiators are pro-
vided with modulating valves which
will admit of any fractional part of
the radiator being heated at the will
of the occupant. This gives him the
opportunity of controlling the tempera-
ture Of his particular room independ-'
emily of the remainder of the house.
Water Service Great Aid.
The control of the relative humidity,
while not quite so essential, is more
difficult to obtain. During the season
when the heating apparatus is in OPP
Grafton the relative humidity is very
likely to become too low and some
means should be found for adding
moisture to the air. In the furnace
heated house this is quite readily ac-
complished by placing in the air cham
Der of the furnace pan for holding
water over which the air may flow.
This pan Is usually furnished as part
OF the furnace, but Is seldom provided
with an automatic water supply which
10 almost as essential as the pan itself.
In order that the pan may be kept
filled with clean water.
In houses heated with steam or hot
water radiators located In the several
rooms. other means must be resorted
to. II In connection with these sys-
TENS of heating one or more indirect
radiators are used. over which outside
air 10 passed and heated before enter
ing the room, and evaporating pan sim
liar to that mentioned above in con-
nection with the furnace may be in
stalled In the air chamber Of these
radiators.
In residences heated entirely with
direct radiators there 10 no ideal way
Of adding the necessary moisture to
the cir, although 1t would be wise to
90 even to the extreme Of placing an
open jar of water In each room. as in
some instances the relative humidity
has been known to go as low as 10 per
cent--a percentage very much lower
than has ever been recorded over the
Great Desert Of Sahara.

whites of four eggs that have been
beaten very stiff. When cool flavor
with lemon.

buttoned in way not quite the same
as its predecessor.
Who would ever suppose that the
plain black headed shoe buttons, used
hitherto for unitarian purposes only,
would come In for tickle Dame Fash
ions favor and now be dignified into a
trimming for smart taffeta frocks ?
Where this idea originated is one of the
unfathomable whims Of fashion. How
ever, It is practical, because the shank
on the button makes 1t easy to sew on.
Moreover, 1t gives really charming
effect, for each little shoe button, hang
ing by its shank, looks like pretty,
tiny bell.

ri THEORETICALLY. ventilation is

the artificial renewal of the air
~ contained within a confined
space, and is usually most
successfully accomplished by means of
rams which pump the air into, or ex-
haust 1t from this space, or combina-
ton OF the two. These mechanical
means Of ventilation are obviously i'm
practical Of application in the average
city dwelling house, not only on &C
count OF the cost Of installation and
operation. but also because these items
are out Of all proportion to the amount
OF ventilation actually required in
these buildings.
Ventilation is so closely associated
with temperature, in the mind of the
average person, that 1t is impossible 10
provide satisfactory ventilation In any
room In which the temperature is al
lowed to rise above the point which
the occupants consider comfortab BILE.
On this account 1t does not seem out
OF place to consider briefly the subject

The control of the temperature de-
ponds largely on the intelligent opera

to the care of servant or furnace

so varied their designs and SO daringly

feet.
Few women looked well In the bout
FAINT dinner gowns of last season. The
gowns were well enough In them
selves. When their exaggerated con-
tours were added to a woman already
stout, no matter how well she was cor
seted, she always looked bit ridicu-
lous.
This is not so with the new long.
slender lines in the present styles OF
evening dresses. Many gowns are not
straight up and down, though they give
the impression of 80 being. Long and
slender, they often have the breadth
edges OF the skirt looped up into pan
nier-like folds. This slight jabot-like
fulness Is Just the thing for slender
figures. and II well placed may be
worn even by stout women.
For the stouter woman, even II only
ordinarily well corseted, evening
gowns with long princess lines, with
the material slightly wrinkled and
swathed about the figure. are exactly
right.
Such gowns, generally made Of vel
vet, are filmy about the decollete and
shoulders and diaphanous about the
ankles. so they do not present the
heavy look which q velvet gown would
ordinarily have.
Then. too. the velvet skirt is deeply
slashed, or rather the breadths which
naturally would make skirt are not
scanned up. but draped or Tapped. The
result of this Is that when the wearer
walks. turns or dances glimpses OF
silken clad ankles are suddenly re-

HERE Is wisdom In wearing

white or light colored stock
- ings apart from the reason of
the dye scarcity. Now that
shoes are worn extra high one can
wear white or light stockings without
having them show, and in fact so
familiar have stockings other than
black become that there is no reason
we shouldn't wear them any way.
Light stockings, especially white. wear
better on account of the absence of
the chemicals Of the dye. Besides
white stockings can be washed cleaner.
If you must wear the cheaper sort OF
stockings. there is no comparison be-
tween the cheap black stocking and a
white one at the same price. The white
one at the price is both more durable
and feels better to the skin. Few per-
sons realize how important It Is to see
that stockings at perfectly. 1t does fit

stockings that are too tight or stock
ings that are creased and wrinkled
Not only must the stocking be of the
right length. but 1t must also be of the
right width.

THE WAY
TO SUCCESS
I Nklr dzd Comb IT
Straight Back

I'm I'VE your real interest to your
work, girls. If you are sell
~ ing tooth brushes or face pow
der, learn how they are made
and what there is in the manufacturing
that makes one brand superior to an
other. You don't suppose that an au
tomobile salesman tries to sell his cars
without knowing anything at all about
the way they are made. They know
their cars backward and can point
out clearly and intelligently in just
what way they are superior TO other
makes.
II you are a salesgirl. be a good one
and know your business thoroughly. If
your superiors see that you have taken
the time and trouble to study up on the
manufacturing Of the articles you sell.
they will soon recognize that you are
too intelligent girl and too fine
ealeswoman to be wasted on tooth
brushes or face powders
The same rule "pplies to every- line
Of work. II you are being paid for
your services, no matter how small
salary you may receive, you should
give your whole attention to the work.
You girls, who are stenographers, will
md that II pays you TO STUDY up on the
line of business which your firm han
dies.
For instance, II you are employed
IN rubber company. do not be salts
fed with turning out a certain num-
Der of letters day, mechanically,
without knowing what it is all about.
Read all the books you can find on
rubber, until you know. enough to be
thoroughly interested In each letter
pertaining to the subject. If your en-
ployer sees that you are interested in
your work, you will certainly be
marked for promotion. This is why
certain stenographers rise to highly
paid positions of private secretaries.
Put your own self into your work,
girls; give your personal interest to
II, and you will climb the ladder of
success much more quickly.

FOR
THE CHILD

THE CHILD
I ACH and every normal child is
eager to make and to do
~ things. This desire is as
much a part Of his develop
ment as his appetite for food.
The natural boy wants to walk in
the footsteps of his father. He is
anxious TO saw and hammer, TO take
photographs, to tinker with machinery.
TO fool with electricity. just as he OBJ
serves his father or the workmen do.
Besides this he wants to know how to
camp in the summer build boat, or
make circus. No matter how fool
ish the idea. do not throw cold water
on it. Remember that this will but
serve to increase his enthusiasm, and.
besides, who knows what latent
genius lies in the boys mind, and what
he may discover, like so many other
gifted boys. through what seem fool
ish experiments?
The little girl, on her part, very Oft
en- leans to the household arts. 1t is
hut natural, as she observes her moth
err cooking and sewing, she should
want to try the same things. No mat
ter how busy you are, try to let her
have some share in the work, even if
you have to 60 over her task again.
This Is to be her chief business, some
day, and IL you want her to be good
homemaker. without any household
frictions due to bad management, you
had better start her training as early
In life as possible. Now it very often
happens that the girl will want to use
her brothers tools. or try his outdoor
sports. There is no harm in this, and,
IL it seems to be her desire to do so, ii
looks as though her talent lies in that
direction.
