SMILING HOMES
BY H. Addington Bruce

|
n TOT everybody as yet appreciates the I'M
| ~ portance of having smiling home. If
everybody did we should not find, as
we frequently do find, homes that are the
reverse of smiling.
1t is not question of the richness or pow
erty of their furnishings. 1t is a question of
choice and arrangement.
Some of the most luxurious homes I have
visited are among the grimmest. Special care
has seemingly been taken to exclude light and
brightness. Heavy hangings intensity the
gloom. Even the clock on the wall ticks
sadly. So massive are the chairs and tables
there is something portentous about them.
In such homes one could we'll believe that
| tragedy forever stalks. And in keeping with
such, homes is the demeanor of their pos
SCISSORS.
Cultured people they may be, educated, re-
fined. But in them there Is depressing So
lemnity. They seem incapable of outright
Joy.
1t may be argued that their homes are
gloomy because they themselves are gloomy
and have designed their homes accordingly.
In certain cases this may be true. Yet even
in these cases it is demonstrable that their
homes have made them gloomier than they
were TO DeSln WIN.
Live in one such home for only short
while and you will acknowledge the truth
Of this.
However CHEEKY your nature, you soon will
feel in some degree anxious and uneasy. You
will feel too, the need of escaping from some
thing you know not what it is.
Change now to a really smiling home, and
you will sense perhaps never before the
tremendous influence exercised ones SEN
timents and attitudes by the character of
ones day after-day surroundings.
1t may, as l say, be poor home. Never
theless, let it only be neat and clean, with
light instead of dark hangings with cheer
full furnishings instead of somber ones, with
the sun having free access perhaps a flower
on the window sill, and forthwith your spirits
will once more rise.
Hence it is that to make the home truly
smiling one should be principal object of
every housewife. Which means that every
housewife should study, if she does not al
ready intUitively know, the fundamentals CT
interior decoration.
Nor need she go to school of decoration
to study these. Plenty of books on the sub
ject, simply written, are now available for
her. Her local public librarian can help her
make selection from among these.
And at little expense, the ones selected
may be added to her personal library for flu
ture consultation as the occasion arises to
make changes in the furnishings of her home.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
RV Irwin S. Cobb

If you are Gentle, you may lay this story
on the Jewish race. If you are Jewish you
may, with equal right say the principal char
acter in it was a temperamental Christian.
In the version I heard the hero of the tale
was of the Jewish race, and answered to the
name of Louie.
Louie lost, by sudden illness, his wife.
The funeral was to take place before sun
down of the date following the death. On
the morning of this day a cousin of the de-
ceased, arriving home after journey,
learned of the loss. At once he hurried to
the house of mourning to comfort the be-
reft husband.
He entered by the crepe-hung front door.
There was no one at the front of the house.
The sympathetic relative passed on through.
The dining room was empty; the pantry like
wise. But in the kitchen the caller found the
head of the house. The appearance of the
newcomer was in the nature of an Interrupt
ton and surprise as well. For, at the mo-
ment. the widower was engaged in hugging
the hired girl.
'Louie!" exclaimed the shocked interloper
"For you [ am ashamed. Here your poor
wife, my cousin, she amt even buried yet
and already you are acting like this!"
eco away, Ike" cried the widower wildly,
chow do 1 know what I am doing in my
grief?"

QUIZ

y. How large is the house that was built
IN "a hours, in Hamilton, Ontario? M A. l..
A The house is 32x32 feet, and contains
rooms-center hall, parlor, dining room.
library, kitchen, and four bedrooms and
bath. 1t has hardwood floors, electricity and
hot water heating. The plumbing and heat
ing installations took 6 hours The mate
rial was delivered by more than 100 teams
and 22O workmen were employed.
.. Who introduced the potato into Ire
land? l. M. C..
A. 1t appears to have been taken to Ire
land from Virginia in 1865 by slave trader
named Hawkins.
Q. How long is the shadow of the earth
and how wide is it at the distance of the
moon? J. r.
A. The Naval Observatory says the cone
shaped shadow cast by the earth has length
of million miles; at distance from the
earth equal to that of the moon, this shadow
has diameter of six thousand miles.
Q. How fast does food move through the
intestines? L. orc.
A. The normal rate of progress after the
food leaves the stomach is about one inch a
second. Altogether there are about Is
square feet of absorbing surface in the small
intestine and it is there that most of our
nourishment enters the blood or the lymph.
Q. Are adobe houses practical? R. b. *.
A. Adobe may be made from any material
which becomes hardened by an exposure to
the sun. The process of baking consists in
first exposing the nodded bricks TO the
direct rays of the sun for a day, then
turning them, exposing different faces for
from seven to fourteen days. Because of the
lack Of coherency, adobes can be employed
only in regions of limited rainfall
Q. Who discovered the possibility OF
electric light? B. E. F.
A. The credit of the basic discovery of
the electric light is probably due to Sir Hum
phrey Davy, who in 1910 observed the electric
arc and produced the incandescence of a fine
platinum wire in connection with his famous
experiments with 2,000-cell battery.
@. Do waterspouts ever appear on land?
G. w. c.
A A waterspout is local vorticular
storm occurring over a water surface, and in
origin and form is similar to tornado over
the land.
