SLEEPING PORCH COMFORT
 By HELEN KENDALL

By HELEN KENDALL
 Fall time is remodeling time. For the next two months, before chilly weather overtakes us an dthe fur mace has to be set going, the sound of the saw and the hammer will be heard in many a home-provided la bor doesn't go any higher! Now Is the time to glass the porch in and make 1t an outdoor living room. Now, too, Is a good time to take out old partitions, put in new windows, add to, extend, alters and improve generally.
 During the summer I saw most ingenious sleeping porch, or outdoor sleeping room, rather, which gslnay 5be - of. interest to many persons who would like to sleep out in the open $ air if it could be managed with any degree of comfort. An actual sleep ing porch has many disadvantages It can hardly be kept very attractive in appearance because the bed GOV ering and furniture must be weatherproof. Getting in and out in bitter cold weather is an ordeal that few enjoy.
 This sleeping porch was, during the day, a charming part of the bed room itself. It was sort of alcoVe, built out over a porch below, and opening into the bedroom by means of wide dot ble doors. While its up per walls were practically all win dows, 1t had. tight lower walls clear to the floor.
 At night the occupants of the bedroom undressed in cosy warmth, then closed the double doors be- hind them, slipped into the warm beds, and flung open the windows over their heads. In the morning the windows were closed. the doors opened into the bedroom, and then closed again until the occupants had dressed and gone The beds were left to air until after breakfast then the doors were opened and the heat from the radiators in the bedroom soon warmed the open alcove. All day 1t was an ordinary pretty bed- room, with the beds in an attractive niche. A small radiator at the head of each bed gave additional neat on extremely cold days, but my hos tess told me they were rarely used, The whole scheme appealed to me as a compromise that might solve many objections to the regular cleaning porch.

 Would you rather go over to Riv- erside-Cr does 1t suit you to drive for awhlle?"

 Silence again. winifred found her self horribly embarrassed. She had given her companion the opportu- nity to- demand an explanation of take advantage of it. She might have known he would not pry into her affairs. When at last he spoke, it was in casual matter-of-fact tone.
 This car has some excellent points, he said. But 1t costs more than you may feel you ought to pay. Think the matter over, and If can be of any assistance. do not hesitate to command me. Otherwise, get just what you want. To my way of think ing, you are the one person tC be consulted. Your friends have no right to interfere"
 He had given her an opportunity in return for the one she had given him. She would grasp 1t and be done with 1t. ef1
 My friends may have no right" she said, her voice husky with nerv- ousness. But the man to whom l am engaged has.''
 The steering wheel swerved sud denly, then the hand grasping 1t steadied 1t as quickly. The girl hur- ried on with her. revelation.
 What l wanted to tell you, Don- aid, is that I am engaged to Rich ard Rankin%

 The word was scarcely moro than. a hoarse whisper. Glancing at the speaker, the girl saw that his face was gray, his lips set. He was star ing straight ahead

 His words stung her to a protest.
