in an elegant sweep over to the other.
Not bad. Now. Of course, we'll need
tie-backs. Maybe the nurse can run
downtown and get them?
She can. But she also suggests that
something be done about the dressing
table-that old cedar stuff is really
"graubert. "a lovely German word,
signifying the utmost In grubbiness.)
She indicates that with new material
at hand she could undoubtedly con-
struct delightful skirts for the dressing
table. Also perhaps spread for the
bed?
Probably it would be too expensive.
Well, at least she can look. She will
just take a curtain with her to be
sure of the color If she should see
anything. There, she has departed.

I wonder If something couldn't be

Let's see. There must be some ma
hogany tables around. That one over
there behind the door for one. 1t is
low and quite large-splendid for one
side. It can hold some books, too. as

That dressing table bench will have

And here comes the nurse With her

Lovely, lovely eggshell stuff! And
so cheap! Enough for everything!
Now we must measure things-wait a
minute, III find the tape measure.
I'm going right back to bed as socn

Well, all set now. The nurse says
she will work on it this afternoon as
it is raining. Then We can get them

stable lantern with straight glass
sides. The hand lantern was usually
q much more modest appliance than
the hanging one, although in the
larger houses 1t was sometimes richly
worked and decorated. As glass grew
cheaper it gradually ousted all other
materials, but the horn lantern,
which was already ancient in the
thirteenth century, was still being used
in the early part Of the nineteenth!
BY the end of the eighteenth century
lanterns for lighting rooms had been
superseded by the candlestick.
THE colonists, however, did expert.
ment with their fixtures" and
many styles were conceived. The
"bulrs-eye" lantern, for instance, was
extremely scientific for that day. 1t
had a convex lens, which concen-
trated the light and allowed it to be
thrown in the shape of a diverging
cone into the room or upon an object
and here we undoubtedly have the
original version of our flashlights" Of
today. The dark lantern was one
equipped with a shutter or slide arr
rangement by which the light could
be shut of at will.
Later came the 'punched-tin" Ian.
terms, which are often wrongly called
Paul Revere lanterns. Just what their
purpose in life was is hard to grasp,
for they gave very little light and
could never have been used as signal
light as is implied when termed as
Paul Revere types.
Tavern lanterns merged into tavern
lamps and peg" lamps. Betty"
lamps and phoebe" lamps, together
with other types eventually developed
into oil and kerosene lamps. The story
of their evolution from an oil saucer
to the efficient wick-burning lamps
that are used in backwood rural Sec
tions today is an interesting one.
Ships lanterns have a delightful
history, too. and are being widely
sought by collectors. Some Of these
are very crude, others surprisingly
perfect. The more recent ones of SIM
pie design and workmanship still are to
be found along the New England sea-
coast and many enterprising collectors
are putting them into service again
after having them wired. They have
a charm that some of more modern
fixtures do not always possess and
echo in an interesting manner the
brave efforts of our forefathers to pit
mans ingenuity and puny strength
against the terrors Of darkness.

Maybe I can 60 to sleep and rest
my eyes a bit. Reading proof in the
office certainly raises the dickens with
them. am glad this room is painted
such a soft green-it is SO restful on
the optics. I really think that is one
reason I took this house last year
the color was SO pretty and it all
looked so new.

T NEVER liked those cedar -colored
- curtains though. But the finances
wouldn't stand the strain, because it
meant new skirts for the dressing
table, and bedspread to match. But
they are all dismal, I'm afraid. 1t
would be lovely room if only could
dress it up bit, for the mahogany is
good, and the black carpet nice. I
wish to goodness could do some
thing about it. I wonder how much
it would cost? Plenty, suppose. And
there are all the school bills to be
paid. Better forget about it, and try
to 60 to sleep.
That's one trouble of working all
day in an Office There is never time
to do anything for yourself or your
own household. Everything has to be
done through outside people. and it
is so expensive If could make the
curtains and things myself, and have
the time to hunt for materials, and SO

they are wide enough to use one width

playful little Gila monster to
keep the cat from getting lonesome,
he can buy one already house
broken.
Mrs. Nell HOlderman has opened
Arizona's queerest pet ranch. She
trains ella monsters for pets and
sells them to tourists.
So well behaved are the mon
sters, whose skin looks like wom-
ans beaded bag, that they come
waddling on their four human-like
feet when she calls them by name.
They are also quite affectionate,
climbing on her shoulders and
caressing her neck.
although most people are afraid
of Gila monsters because they
can bite like bulldogs, sinking their
sharp teeth in a vise-like grip into
the flesh, they are not dangerous, )"
