About the House
LET'S TRY OUR GUEST ROOM.
A friend of mine once told me that
her mother advised her, at an early
period in her housekeeping career, to
sleep in her guest .room once in a.
while. She had found it an excellent
suggestion and had followed it with—
she was more than sure—distinct ad-
vantage to her' guests.
I slept in mine.soon after, and was
horrified to find that the feather pil-
lows, comparatively new, had an oily
and very disagreeable smell, necessi-
tating their being sent to the cleaner's
at once.
I should never have known it had I
not slept upon them; for what guest
could make up her mind to tell me?
Neither would any one, I suppose,
ever speak of the sagging or obstrep-
erous spring, the lumpy mattress or
the squeak in the bed, any one of
which would effectually put sleep to
rout for the sensitive or poor sleeper.
My first suggestion is, therefore, a
repetition of -my friend's advice—sleep
in your own guest room occasionally.
The guest room is not so inevitable
an inference in these days of small
and expensive apartments as in old
times. I am surprised to see how j
many apartment dwellers dispense
with it as a matter of course.
Those of us who live in the country,
however, and delight in welcoming{
our family or city friends to week-
ends or real visits, still feel that the
guest room is a very necessary fea-
ture of our homes.
In fitting up a guest room there is,
necessarily, much latitude. In the
average home its furnishings must
In, these days, how-

simple furnishings may also be
beautiful.
As a primary necessity, be sure
that your bed is comfortable. If size.
of room allows, twin beds are desir-
able. The old-fashioned double bed is,
nowadays, hardly considered. The
mattress should be covered, and the
cover frequently laundered. In win-
ter a soft, thick bed pad or a warm
blanket should be laid between mat-
tress and sheet; this for real warmth,
as the hair mattress, although com-
fortable and sanitary, is not warm.
Be sure to provide plenty of bed
clothes— a down puff as an extra if
possible,
If one cannot spare a down puff an
excellent homemade substitute inay be
manufactured from a pair of worn
but woolly blankets tacked and tied in
a pretty cover of silkaline or cheese-!
cloth, the edge finished with ribbon
binding or buttonholed with worsted.'
Many people depend upon a few;
minutes "read" before going to sleep
—I confesz to this indulgence myself.
Arrange a simple reading lamp on a
stand by the bed, or, if more conven-
ient, a hanging burner over its top.

Ruth Bradney, seated in the little
drawing -T00211 of ,lie cottage at. South
Barton, made no reply, A. year and
half had passed since her husband's
death, and the icy winds of winter
were blowing across the marshland.
A cheerful fire blazed in the grate,
and Ruth held out her hands to it.
Behind her, on the wail, hung the sec-
ond portrait' Merrington had painted
of her. It was eo different from the
first that it might have been the pic-

man's confession would be useful.

Mr. Crust.
