(Continued). , At'ttilt, on returning homo from the theatre, unless the maid has been more incentive uh..n is usually the ease during the absence of the mistress, a very cheerless homo is lound. If a coal lire is used it has in all pi' l 'liability gone out. Tite kitchen lire is also out. so that tee cup of warm milk or soup that would he so welcome cannot he obtained without so much trouble and delay that vott lotiro without it.

Half the pleasure and advantage ol an evening out is spoiled it the return must he made to ft cheerless house, and cltillv rooms.

The wise housewife will see to it that none of her household are exposed to unnecessary risks. She will instal gas lires in every room. To provide the maximum of comfort for the minimum of trouble the house should be fitted with Gas Lights. Gas Fires, a Gas Cooker, and a Gas-healer Hot Water System. (Watch for continuation to-morrow.)
