The lwussss. we have bought, if they have had any closets at all, have been provided with the most un- attractive, dark, stingy "cubby-holes" imaginable! The very worst detail of the horse we now occupy was the kitchen cup- board. One look within its chocolate - colored depths made me shudder! It suggested dirt—and worse! Its wal,is were papered with dark brown paper, the shelves were deep and thick, the doors so:'id wood.

"No—there's a breakdown some- where --that's what I'm telling you; but whether the fault is ours, or a trick has been played to put us fairly out of the running, no doubt you'll find out soon or late. I don't see there's anything more we can do up here whether or no." "There isn't," admitted Mark. "It's all been routine work and a devil of lot of time wasted in my opinion.

He longed unspeakably to see her again, for though he had correspond- ed during the progress of his inquiries and kept her closely informed of everything that he was doing, the ex- cuse for these communications no looked forward to a time when her. ,present desolation might give place to a truer tranquility and content: The fact that this should be so, however, astonished Brendon. He I judged her words were perhaps 1111 ' chosen and that she implied a swifter I return to peace than in reality would occur. He had guessed that a year at least, instead of merely these four months, most pass before her terrible sorrow could begin to dim.

The whole closet was then given several coats of fiat cream paint and one of enamel. • To -day, that horror is the centre of a masit attractive kitchen! All small supplies like spices axe kept in glass jars; special emergency supplies or extra -nice jams and jellies are to be found at the top, while the two lower shelves hold the gayest bits of china used in, the daily cooking—bow's, plates, pitchers. No one opines into our kitchen without exclaiming over that bright, attractive sapi>'1y-closet. Of coulee, its. doing -over led to other improvements in time, cream -palated walls', new bluish linol•eums, etc., so that in truth, the whole atmosphere of the work centre of the house is transformed cheerful, attractive• and convenient, asit should be if one is to enjoy working in it. �•• All becl room closets have , been pain; ed.

In these rooms we built cor- ner closets of wall -board, measuring carefully so that not an extra inch would be used of room space that was needed, add yet that there was width enough for clothes -pole, with which every closet is fitted. Anyone who has used clothes -poles for hanging know , how many more no linen closet.

The -side was made of wallboard, as is the back, which, of course, is one side of my large clothes - closet described. The whole has been 'papered like the walls of the hall and the doors are white enamelled, with good grade of brass hardware.

To be smartly and appropriately attired for the house is the first con- sideration of every woman. If one's dress is attractive—and it may be practical and inexpensive at the same time --one is going to feel cheery in the. thought that they look nice. A dress that is dainty enough to wear all days is pictured here, made of a fine quality pink blocked gingham, with set-in kimono -sleeve section .of plain color and trimmed with a wash braid -in a deeper shade of rose. The gathers at side front and back give a comfortably wide hem to the skirt which is otherwise very plain. The sleeve section may be omitted and the result will be an apron of unusual design.' The diagram pictures the simple design of No. 1016, which is in sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 inches bust. Seize 38 bust requires 3% yards 36 -inch, or 3% yards 40 -inch material. Price 20 cents. Every woman's desire is to achieve that smart different appearance which draws favorable comments from the. observing public. The designs illus- trated in our new Fashion Book are originated in the heart of the style centres and will help you to acquire , that much desired air of -individuality.
