Keep Home Cool and Comfortable
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

T%HE time of year has come when
we are all trying to make our
houses cooler--to make them
i cooler, and to make them seem
cooler.
Tt Is, OF course fact that we feel
cooler in a hot room that looks cool
than in a hot room that looks hot. So
1t is we'll worth while trying to make
our rooms look cool as we'll as trying
actually to make them cool.
Here are some things to remember
in really making your house cooler:
To begin with, In districts where
mosquitoes or flies thrive, there should,
of course, be good screens. which make
thorough ventilation possible.
You should make arrangements for
up-and-down as we'll as crosswise
ventilation. Leave the attic door open
and leave two windows on opposite sides
of the attic open. The hot air will
constantly rise from the lower part of
the house and find its way out these
open windows.
Remove heavy draperies and thick
hot cushions for the Summer. Gre
tonne is really, as we'll as apparently,
much cooler than velour.
Be lavish with fresh bed linen in
really hot weather. A smooth. fresh
sheets feels much cooler than a wrinkled
one that has been on the bed for sew
eral days
If your house Is one of those charm
ing EngliSh-cottage sort that have long
slopes of roof. remember that much
can be done to cool 1t off by playing
the hose on the roof at shutdown. This
will really help cool the house off.
softened light is cooler looking
than bright one. So make use of
green shades and awnings on a hot
day. They temper the glare of the
sunlight and give light that rests the
eyes.
But remember that. above ALL the
house on a hot day should be as airy
as possible. The habit of shutting the
windows in the early morning. and
Keeping them shut throughout the
period OF greatest heat, in order to keep
out the hot air and keep in the cool
air OF the night, may be good one
from some points of view. Most of
us. however, feel better in hot airy
house than in a cool, close and stale
one.
So. whatever else you do, keep the
doors and windows open most of the
DAY and all the night in hot weather.
IL mas been proved to the salts
faction OF the modern dietitian that
iced fruit drinks are not unwholesome.
OF course, one shouldn't drink quarts
and quarts of very cold lemonade. But
II it Is pleasingly cool, even with tim
king ice in the glasses, it is not harm
ful. And the fruit juice part of it is
decidedly wholesome. So that is an
other way to get the fact and appear
ance OF GOODNESS on hot days--serve cool
and cooling drinks of fruit juices.
And fans-don't forget fans. A few
attractive ones scattered around the
room are decorative and useful.

Keep Cool in Hot Weather

amount of food and then go imme-
diately into the sun.
Numbers OF people make themselves
sick In hummer, too, from indulging In
tins dangerous habit Of drinking several
K1ssses Of iced water. or other tce-cold
beverage, when their bodies are over
ileatsd from exercise. You simply can
net pour cold drinks into heated
D91V and not expect some mild and
100 often some violent form of illness
~ feii6g. an illness that might be

IgsIass. An attack of acute indiges-
ton has been the penalty paid in many
eases. When you are thirsty and hot
wait until you cool off bit before
gnenehing that thirst. At least. II
Y0iI can't walt. take drink that Is
not ice cold and drink it very slowly.
There are delicious and appropriate
menus for Summer days. Study them
as they are published in the news
papers and magazines and feed your
family this Summer on the sort Of food
that the experts in this line advise. It
Is one way. and the best way. Of keep
Ing yourself and your family strong and
veil these next months.
To wear the proper sort of clothing
Is. OF course, another asset. How many
babies and young children suffer be-
cause OF their parents fear that they
viii take cold II they are correctly and
seasonably clad. The one sensible thing
to do, and this applies TO every one,
from the cradle 10 the grave, is TO
change your clothing according to the
weather. In particular with babies a
flannel shirt and skirt may be needed
in the early morning and late evening,
when the weather is damp and chilly.
but at noon of those same DAYS it may
| be so hot that cotton gown is suffi-
Gent
Women and children should wear
seasonable and loose clothing. It must
be admitted that this suggestion is not
as necessary in these days of scanty
dresses and corsetless women as it was
when clothes we're longer and tighter.
But furs worn on a piping hot day.
and wool sweaters trying to keep the
wearer cool, are neither sensible. stylish
nor appropriate. There is, or should
be. common sense in all things, and to
dress properly in Summer is only to
show a sensible and practical under
standing of how to dress well for the
season of the year.
Don't go around raving about the
hot weather. and how hot you are, but
make up your mind that on this one
particular subject you can. and will,
do something about it. Take the proper
precautions to keep yourself cool. and
therefore contented. And when you
do feel irritated by the personal reac-
ton of your body to the Summer heat.
just remember that these repellent
drops of moisture trickling down your
face and neck are an indication that
your body is in a healthy condition
To the plump. they should be even
joyfully acknowledged and felt.
Keep cool. and enjoy the Summer.
Feel about 1t as one of our fayorite old
| songs, written about the time the twen-
tieth century was born. put it:
There's time in each year that We
| all hold most dear
It's the good old Summertime.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Monday. June Is.

The planetary government tomorrow
will be msnacing, according to astrol-
ogy. which reads In the signs evil
omens.
The sway influences the mind in a
way conducive to confused thinking
and illogical reasoning.
The direction of the stars appears
to be thwarting and troublesome for
all who have important work to do in
the line OF holding public opinion.
Under this rule mental processes are
supposed to be slower than normally
1t is not favorable day for serious
intellectual labor.
While the imagination may be ex-
ceedingly active, it may be concerned
with destructive rather than construc-
tive thoughts.
This is read as an inauspicious day
for starting on journeys, especially on
ocean voyages
All the indications as read by the
seers seem to indicate closer world re-
lations among leading nations. I'm
portant foreign visitors will be enter
tanned In Washington
Industry Is subject to fairly good
work with hands much mere than work
with brains alone.
New enterprises are to develop
through the Summer in many parts OF
the United States. There should be
employment for all who desire 1t.
AS the Summer quarter advances
there will be intense interest In naval
affairs. 1t is prognosticated. and a naval
officer will gain fame in this country.
Many nations will look for new heroes
TO whom they may entrust leadership.
Dictators appear to be even more firmly
established than they have been. a
fact that will encourage the rise of I'M
knowns who desire power.
Persons whose birth date 1t is should
De most prudent and careful all
through the coming year, which NAV
bring a few problems.
Children born on that day NAV be
too easily influenced for their own
good. They should be trained in UNI
compromising virtues.
