LEAVES FROM DAILY LIFE

A WOMAN'S DAY. (A Serial Day l.y Day.) From morning to night tho woman interested in the comfort- id lior fatnilv is continually confronted with little household cores. It is in the ltojx* of showing how these can lx* entirely removed or materially reduced that this little story hits been prepared. I.'t us take the ordinary routine of a household. First there is the rising and dressing in the morning, a not altogether pleasant eommeni einent when the days are dark and cold. To leave a warm bed and dress in tbe cold atmosphere of the bedroom or tbe icy rigour of tbe bathroom is not an inviting experience. Some people, of course, are fortunate, and can have a fire lighted in their bedroom; hut tin's entails considerable work in clearing away the ashes from overnight and laying and lighting the fire and attending to it for the two h airs or so that are necessary before its effects Hire appreciable on the temperature of tlte room. Most people, rather than create so much work for the short time the bedroom lire irequired in tbe morning would sooner suiter the disemforts of dressing witnout one. If you are a lover c.i comfort you will have lias Fires in your house, for by turning a tap and applying a taper, cold and discomfort arc immediately banished. (Watch for continuation to-morrow.)
