BY DOROTHY DUCAS
n nd EIIZARETH GORDON,

Are you using your country house
little later this year, to get the
full advantage of Indian summer or
early tangy weather? Do you wish
YOU could go to the country every
week end until Christmas? But do
you say Cant do it. No heat in
the house?'
If YOU are sincere about loving
the country enough to travel there
every Saturday night, all you need
to make your unheated house habit
able until the really bad weather
is one of those new oil console
heaters in your living room. Such a
heater costs from $75 to 500, and
with the addition of a fan to blow
heated air out along the floor, the
way a duct warm-air system does,
1t might come to sl20 or $3.50. But
YOU will have days, weeks, even
months of extra use of your sum-
mer home!
The heater looks like radiator
inclosed in a cabinet, with louvres
all across the upper part of the
front face and others in the center
of the bottom part of it. Through
these louvres heat from big hor-
izontal stove body within the cabinet
flows downward to the floor The
result is that large fan-shaped
space around the front of the heater
is flooded with heat, creating a
"1reside zone" which is wonderful
for after-supper maps, and from
which heated air rises to the ceiling.
The inside of this heater has an
L-shaped stove body, which extends
sidewise. 1t has 40 per cent more
air-heating surface than the usual
upright producing drums. The
oil storage tank, holding seven and
one-half gallons, is concealed inside
the heater. and is easy to fill without
dripping oil on a living room floor.
A single knob controls the rate of
heating by regulating the oil flow,
air flow and damper.
This heater must be installed in
front of a fireplace, or connected
with a flue. of course. Besides de-
livering heat, it delivers certain
amount of humidiflcation, for water
Is inserted in pan inside the heater
to be evaporated by the heated air
as it flows from the heater through
the louvres.
The blower added to this heater
can send heat through ducts all
over the house, for without much
expensive installation it will send
heat through wall registers to the
rooms fanking the living room, in
which the heater stands, and those
= directly overhead.
The heater is good looking enough
not to be resented in a living room,
too; when it is not in use you can
put a scarf and a bowl of flowers
on it and use it as an extra piece
Of furniture.
, With any luck, this month will be
our last excessive moisture the
air month for 1899. Dry weather
lies ahead, weather which should
be clear. zestful and neither rainy
or snowy, for while anyway.
You can use such weather to ad-
vantage by doing your caulking for
the winter before you discover that
leaks are developing in the little
crevices around your windows and
doors. A waterproof caulking COM
pound, which works easily, dries
completely. remains flexible, adheres
to surfaces, and does not stain out
side materials of houses, can be
used to caulk wood, steel or metal

frames, even to point up brick,
stone and terra Gotta.
This caulking compound, the re-
suit of years of research, is non-
sagging and may be painted over so
it does not show or bleed through
the paint at all. 1t comes in two
consistencies-can be used with
knife or with gun. If it is applied
by knife, you merely dip the knife
in crude oil or water to prevent
adhesion of the material to the tool,
and spread it into the crack. If it
is too heavy, do not add a thinner,
just place the can of compound In
a bucket of hot water to make 1t
RUNNER. If you use gun, you may
Just spray it into the cracks as you
would thick paint.
One gallon of this compound,
which costs $3.l5, is sufficient for
filling joint u inch by u inch
for from rs to 80 feet of length.
Or, it will caulk the frames of about
four windows which measure by
7 feet. Joints must be clean, all oil
removed, and government specifica-
tions require a first coat of damp
proofing material before inserting
the caulking. See there is no
moisture around the opening, too.
From Caulking cracks you may
want to go on to the walls of your
whole house. Once one gets started
protecting a house from moisture
it's like eating peanuts-there is no
stopping.
Waterproofing the outside masonry
walls of house SO that expansion
and contraction don't open joints
and permit water to enter is only
partly a caulking job. You can
point up occasional openings with
the compound mentioned above. But
for full job you will want to brush
or spray on a colorless waterproof1ng
liquid which fills the pores of the
masonry and expands or contracts
with it.
The liquid We have in mind is
stretchable, so that after it pene-
trates the pores it swells out and
pushes against the sides of the
pores, but easily pulls in if the pores
contract. One gallon of 1t covers
about $50 square feet, first coat, $50
square feet, second coat, depending
upon how porous the masonry is,
of course. Sometimes one coat is
sufficient. The material costs about
SO a gallon.
OF course, no exterior Waterproofer
will take care of cracks which were
made before you Waterproofed
These must be filled and all mortar
