ELIZABETH GORDON.

Roughing it is all very we'll for
two-week vacation. But the family
that goes to the country for the
whole summer or lives in the country
all year around demands the re-
finements of life which start with
hot water.
In a country house not equipped
with full winter heat the only kind
OF water heater is the separate one
-fueled by gas, coal. electricity or
oil. Are you surprised to learn there
Is separate automatic oil-burning
water heater? Many people are, for
heating water by oil has been asso-
ciated in the public mind with a
house-heating oil burner. which also
is capable of delivering only hot
water in summer.
The oil-burning water heater we
have in mind is automatic, which
means thermostatic control that may
be set at any temperature desired.
1t uses No. oil, which its makers
say will provide 100 gallons of hot
water for washing and bathing at a
cost of less than 9 cents, at a 10
cent per gallon fuel-oil rate.
The heater comes in a gray cylin-
drical casing trimmed with maroon
and has been tested and approved
by Underwriters Laboratories. Comes
in 20. 30, 40 and so gallon sizes. It
can be installed anywhere. The oil
flows to the burner by gravity, and

well proportioned. The three bed
rooms are well supplied with closet

Lamp Designed
For Both Beauty
And Service

A good lamp is Joy forever-and
especially so when it is prize"
that meets all the requirements of
good design and at the same time
conforms to the I. E. S. specifica-
tions for reading light satisfactory
for your eyes.
This is very lovely china lamp
which may be had in plain colors or
flower design. Its base is of dull
gold in Chippendale design, and the
plan of the whole, with delicate soft
silk shade, is convincing because of
its simplicity and absolute right
ness" This lamp won prize for its
fine design and a merit badge for
its compliance with I. E. S. specif-
cations. 1t is available in "our town"
