This according to the manuâ€" facturer circulates purified and humiâ€" dified air throughout the room, relievâ€" ing dry air discomforts. Air conditioning is now possible for a single rcom. Placed in the bottom of window in the same manner as a ventilator, there is an electric fan which draws fresh air from outdcors through a glass wool filter which catches dirt and other impurities. Moisture is added from a small tank of water that is kept steaming by elecâ€" tricity. This according to the manuâ€" i Much can be done through the art of the interior decorator to remove the cramped atmosphere of small living rooms, and to give an air of spaciousâ€" ! ness to those of ordinary size, through arrangement of furniture and furnishâ€" ings and the judicious use of colour. One of the first rules of the art is to keep the centre of the room clear, with the heavier pieces of furniture and the rugs parallel or at right angles !Lo the walls. Small pieces of furniture or round tables may be set across the corners. Attenticn should be paid to contours in arrangsment of furniture and hangâ€" ing of pictures and other wall ornaâ€" ments. The peaks or such contours should centre over the heavier pieces of furniture, through the hanging pictures or mirrors, or over the ends though placement of pedestals, screens, bockcases, grandfather clocks and simiâ€" lar items which are higher than the tables, chairs and settees. Too much mahogany or other dark wood gives a heavy atmosphere to the room. Much can be done to lighten this effect by use of a few painted or draped pieces. Mirrors also lighten a rocm, and add greatly to the effect of spaciousness. They can be hung on the walls, placed over the mantel or panâ€" ecled in doors or walls.

Watch the Colours. slcegping accommodations are made in the form of bunks. These are on either side of the fireplace and may be supâ€" plementeq by a studio couch, day bed and the like. In the bathroom, there is a shower, toilet and lavatory. The kitchen has plenty of builtâ€"in cupboard spacse, and room for a stove, iceâ€"box and work table. The general arrangement of Floor plan A is the same as plan B with the exceeption of the fact that there is but one bunk in the living room, and a hallway leading to the additional bedrcoms. The floors and trim on the inside may be of less expensive woods, such as pine. They should be lightly stained and waxed. The bathroom fixtures need not be expensive, but should be of good, serviceable design and manufacture. tions necessary, but the outline given herewith may mean a start for you in planning the home you hope to have. Because of its simple construction, it should be built for a smalil amount of money. The exterior is of wood and the roof is covered with shingles. The huge fireplace is of natural stone. The porch is shown to be open, but it could be screened in easily, and utilized for another room. Foundation planting is important, and planting of the general sizz and proportion shown on the sketch should be used. There are two floor plans shown. One provides for two additional bedâ€" rcoms (floor plan A), to be built at a later date, if desired. In floor plan B, slegping accommodations are made in the form of bunks. These are on either side of the fireplace and may be supâ€" gerprint the surfaces. In cities and neighbourhoods where the air is polluted with soot, dus:t; and destructive fumes, walls and ccilings covered with washable paint or wall paper make it possible to keep the home clean and sanitary at all times at a minimum of expense. Walls covered with washable pain or wall paper are an excellent invest ment, especially ic kitchens, bathroom and children‘s playrooms. In fac washable walls are splendid for stair ways and all rooms in a home or apart ment where children are liavle to fin gerprint the surfaces. Never use stripes in a narrow room. Some decorators give the rule that stripes should be used only in low rcoms that are given unusual interest by being made to look their full height. A narrow room is simply awkward with stripes. Where spaces are badly cut up arâ€" chitecturally, as they often must be in small halls, upstairs bedrooms and twisting stairways, a paper of bold patâ€" terning attracts the attention away from defects and centres it in the inâ€" teresting pattern itself. . The colours of the «allpaper should repeat or be in harmony with the colour of the wood trim. This is important for it serves to tie the room together in a pleasing, harmonious manner. W ashable W alls Excellent Any paper, scenic or otherwise, that has perspective, adds space to small rooms such as hallways, vestibules, etc. Scenic papsr is very good for long narâ€" row rooms or long narrow hallways. The large wall spaces are thus given such variety and interest,_ that their size is not noticed. During recent years wall paper has come again into vogue and a good thing tco, for with the newer developments in paper, washable and interesting deâ€" sign, it makes an attractive wall covâ€" ering. The following are a few pointers to observe in selecting paper for your rooms :â€" Avoid large allâ€"over designs in small rooms.

The trick as previously worked has been to leave a note in a milk bottle asking for an extra bottle or for cream. The milkman may not suspect and leaves the article asked for. The sneak thief working the scheme is watching the procedure and as soon as the extra bottle is left he sneaks over and lifts it. Neither the milkman nor the householder may tumble to the trick for several days. Whien they come to settle up, however, it is too bad for the milkman, if he does not keep the note, and it is grief for the householder if the note is duly held. In one of the cases reported in the South the thief had been ordering butter by the pound as well as milk. The scheme was carried along for some days before it was discovered that a sneak thief, with quarters at a neighâ€" boring "jungle," had been living high by leaving notes for the milkman orâ€" dering the extra milk and butter, and then lifting the extras, The houseâ€". holder‘s milk or cream was left all right. and so the lady of the house had no reason to suspect anything was wrong.
