A friend of mine once told me that her mother adviaed her, at an early period in her housekeeping career, to aleep in her gueat room once in a while. She had found it an excellent suggestion and had followed it with â€" •he was more than sure â€" distinct ad- vantage to her guests.

A box of stamps ia appre- ciated as aid in an emergency. Perhaps a combination of bookrack and writing materials can be made. A small work basket, well stocked, should stand in some convenient place. A really comfortable chair, besides the ordinary ones, is a necessity; a couch â€" sometimes possible â€" is a lux- ury. A rack on which a suitcase may be placed is a very great convenience.

I know people as. if they were everyday ac- quaintances. Sh« adores Dr. Johnson 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 â€" sleep in your own guest room occasionally. The g^uest room is not so inevitable on inference in these days of small and expensive apartments as in old times. I am surprised to see how many apartment dwellers dispenae 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 gruest room is a very necessary fea- ture of our homes. In fitting up a gue.st room there Is, necessarily, much latitude. In the average home its furnishings must needs be simple. In these days, how- ever, simple furnishings may also bo beautiful. As a primary necessity, be sure that your bed is comfortable. If size of room allows, twin beds are desir- able. The old-fashion!! double bed is, nowadays, hardly considered. The mattress should he covered, and the cover frequently laundered. In win- ter a soft, thick bed pud or a warm blanket should be laid between mat- tress and sheet; this for real warmth, as the hair mattress, nlthouRh com- fortable and sanitary, is not warm. Be sure to provide plenty of bed clothes â€" a down puff as an extra if I>08nible. If one cannot spare a down puff an excellent homemade substitute may bo manufactured from a pair of worn but woolly blankets tacked and tied in a pretty cover of .silkaline or cheese- cloth, the edge fmi.shed with ribbon binding or buttonholed with worsted. Many people depend upon a few minutes "read" before going to sleep â€" I confess to this indulgence myself. Arrange a simple reading lamp on a stand by the bed, or, if mora conven- ient, a hanging burner over Its top. The stand, with an attractive cover, ahould contain a cracker Jar, well Btofked, to afford first aid to the poor •leeper, a tumbler-covered carafe of fresh water and an interesting book or two. a guest making a real visit; provide onej to an overnight or week-end guest with a small quantity of luggage, to find a bath robe hanging in the g:uest room closet I think this might be considered a necessity. Be sure, also, that this closet con- tains plenty of hangers. Lastly, give your guest a chance to enjoy her room â€" that is, don't try to entertain her all the time, or try to give her your society every single minute of the day. Often a chance to take a nap, write a letter or two, read a new book or simply spend a half hour in quiet, undisturbed by the necessity of talking, la appreciated by your guest that they would rather have me for a and quotes him continually, friend than an enemy.

The mother died when Jock was a baby, and after some years the father married again, sud- denly and unpremeditatedly, a beauti- ful and almost friendless girl whom he met in London when home on leave. Jean offered no comment on the wis- dom or the unwisdom of the match, but she told me the young Mrs. Jar- dine had sent for her (Jean was then a schoolgirl of fourteen) and had given her a good time in London be- fore she sailed with her husband for India. Rather unusual when you come to think of it! It isn't every young wife who has thought on the honeymoon for schoolgirl stepdaugh- ters, and Jean had seen that it was kind and unselfish, and was grateful. The Jardines sailed for India, and were hardly landed when Mr. Jar- dine died of cholera.
