TO THE MISTRESS OF THE HOUSE. DEAR SFADAM,—-Do you ever realist} the increased comfort to the entire household--yourself included—that would Ik 1 secured by the adoption of gas tires? Have you over contemplated the amount of labour spent, to say nothing of the time wasted, by the maids in carrying coals, cleaning grates laying fires, coaxing stubborn fires into a blaze and keeping them going when lighted? Ji' you adopt gas fires you will not only lighten the household work immensely hut your rooms will ho cleaner, healthier and more comfortable. Yon can exactly control the heat required at any given time in any given room. Bedrooms become pleasanter (and safer) resorts in hitter weather. The half hour’s dressing for dinner, the tindressing at night after leaving a cosy sitting room, can ho done in comfort and safety—and at leisure. To economise in the gas consumed is easy. When, after dinner, you leave the dining room out goes the fire, to be lighted in the drawing room, or study or billiard room. And so throughout the day. the fire travels from room to room ” hv the simple turning on and oil' of taps. Consider how habitable these gas fires make every room in the house ! Half the dust in your living rooms comes from the coal lire— there i s no dust with a gas fire. No work is entailed—no fire irons, coal scuttles or shovels to trouble about, no smoke, dirt or ashes to cause annoyance—no noisy poking or replenishing to disturb and irritate. That is v.hv the gas lire is ideal for the sick room. Certainly the gas lire is the housewife’s best friend —it's only rival the gas cooker! We arc dear Madam Yours faithfully, HOKITIKA GAS COY., LTD., Stafford Street.
