"If what you say of his folly is true I have no part in it. But he was my companion and I wish him well.

In one instance, enclosing a porch removed the need for three screen doors and one wfndow screen; one screen door for entering the ver- andah being all that was required. Anything that increases the comfort of a home, increases its value. Where the porch is a rear one, the housewife can clean or sort fruits and vegetables out-of-doors, in comfort and freedom from flies or mosquitoes. It can be used for ironing or other hot tasks, while the entire household will find it a delightful refuge on warm days and evenings, where they can spend their time in bugless com- fort It can be lighted at night with- out fear of attracting swarms of in- sects. Bronze or copper wire cloth is tlw best to use, as the better weather- resisting nualities of these materials make them the cheapest in the end. TO CONTROL THE WILY MOTH By a thorough airing and brushing, the moths may be removed for they seem averse to sunlight and fresh air, but it is more difficult to rid the gar- ment of the larvae. The larvae may exist at forty degrees F. but are not active. It is best if clothing can be stored at this temperature for sev- eral days and then brought out in ordi- nary room temperature for a few hours and later restored to the colder temperature. The larvae cannot stand change of temperature. Sulphur fumigation of the garment er in the Aegean.

It was just the sort of thing I miifht have foreseen. Peter, left alone, had become first bored and then reckless.

Postal officials in India ara fr i quently puzzled by the strange raeth- ' ods of addressing letters adopted by natives. The following must have given th postman a considerable amount of trouble, especially as it was written IB an almost unreadable hand: "To th one Inseparable from my heart, the fortunate Babu Slbntth Chose, having the same heart as mine. From post-office Hasnabad to the Til- lage of Ramnathpur, to reach the plicity, economy and wholesoraeness | house o f the fortunate Babu Pravanath should be the keynote upon which the housewife balances her menu, com- bining the requirements of the indi- vidual in such a manner that the same foods will suit the entire family.! Under the old scheme of living it was thought that the choicest cuts of meats, the daintiest dishes, should go to the head of the house; and the chil- dren should be served the less rich foods. To-day the mother knows that must be done with care, as the fumes j dad is better off with less meats, more vegetables and simple dessert, and will exterminate the moths but it must be done with care, as the fumes may become too strong and rot the fur. After the moths and larvae are re- moved, the coat may be packed in a moth-proof chest with moth balls or other moth preventatives, or sealed in a paper sack or box. that the growing lad and lassie may have juicy steaks and chops and rich desserts and will not suffer digestive disturbances.
