IN the next place she favored with
her society-she didn't approve OF
the way the office was ventilated
and went around making speeches
about fresh air.
And in the last place she wouldn't
have anything TO do with the chief
stenographer because she thought
stenographers were perhaps rather

particular stenographer was a sister

Houses built years ago, and with
out the conveniences which are con-
sidered necessary to make a mod
ern home comfortable, are constant
ly coming on TO the market. Re-
novating and restoring these houses,
without the expenditure of a large
amount OF money, often involves no
little thought and planning. Several
devices have been invented, in re-
cent years, however, which help TO
solve the problem.
1t was not many years ago that
the use Of weights in windows be-
came common. Before that time
windows were held up by buttons
and various kinds of metal catches,
none of which were very satisfac-
tory. 1t might be supposed that
weights could be installed in the win
dows of these old houses without
much difficulty. but this is not true,
in most instances; because the stud
ding was placed so close that no
room can be found in which TO drop
the weights. The difficulty is over
come by the use of sash balances,
to use the trade name. They con-
sists of powerful springs, controll-
ing an iron wheel upon which a
metal tape is rolled. This spring
wheel is easily set into the casing at
the top of the window. Then the
metal tape is attached to the sash
by loop which fits over a sunken
screw, the sash being beveled a lit
tie on each side to make this pos
sible. The window sash should be
weighted, before the order for bal
ances is placed, because the latter
/ vary in strength. With the proper
balances in place. the window can
be run up and down as easily and
as smoothly as with ordinary
weights and pulleys, and it will stay
at any given height. The balances
may be used for both sashes, but, in
many instances, are attached only To
the lower sash. The upper sashes
are not usually designed TO be low
cred and raised Sometimes springs
are set into the sides of the sashes
and hold the window in place by
pressing against the frame. These
springs are easily fitted to the win
| dows, but are not so satisfactory as
the sash balances.
The problem of providing hot wa
ter comes to most persons who buy
country houses. For many years
city people have had the opportunity
10 use gas heaters in connections
with water tanks. Not similar heat

ing made, and are satisfactory espe-

heaters have one, two and three
! burners. The one burner size is
] large enough for the average fam
] lily, and will heat enough water for
a bath or for kitchen purposes in
half an hour The expense is little
/ and the heater requires no more at
tention than an ordinary oil stove
This device is a great boon to per-
sons having homes in the country
Very often the problem of pro-
viding running water in the house
has TO be met. Force pumps can be
used. of course, sending water to a
tank in the attic, but they require
more manual labor than the mem.

vide. Moreover, a tank in the attic
is always likely to freeze. Wind.
