Deep Window Sill*. 
If you are planning to build a house, be 
sure to have broad, deep window seals. Few 
little things add so much to the comfort and 
convenience. 
If you do not expect to build and the 
house you live in has narrow window sills, 
they can easily be made wider. 
Where the window is sufficiently low to 
make a comfortable seat, take a dry goods 
box of the same height as the window. Cov- 
er it with pieces of carpeting, putting pad- 
ding under the top piece for a cushion. 
If a box with a hinged cover can be ob- 
tained, so much the better. You will then 
have a convenient receptacle for children’s 
toys, or other things which you wish to have 
near at hand, but not always in sight. 
The sill of a high window may be widen- 
ed by means of a board resting on iron 
brackets. It should fit the window and be 
stained the same color. 
This will be an excellent place for house- 
plants; or, if not fdled in that way, it will 
be used a dozen times a day as a temporary 
resting-place for book, paper, work-basket, 
or knitting. 
The place may be utilized by putting in 
two or three shelves, according to the height, 
the dust being kept out by a pretty curtain 
or rings hanging from a slender rod fasten- 
ed under the edge of the highest shelf. 
Or, a box of just the right hight and width 
may be stained, divided into compartments 
severed in places and curtained in the same 
way. 
Little changes of this kind which can be 
made at slight expense, express the indi- 
viduality of the home-maker, and make 
even the bare rooms of a poor house, look 
cosy and attractive. — M. C. Rankin. 
A Comfortable Cloak. 
For young girls who attend evening par- 
ties or entertainments a long wrap is in- 
dispensable, and we have seen a pretty and 
inexpensive one made thus. It was in the 
form of a circular so there were no sleeves 
or other tightness to crease the dress under- 
neath. The outside was of heavy black 
camels hair cloth, and it was lined with 
thick, soft and white flannel, so it would 
not soil the most delicate dress. A hood 
gave shapeliness at the neck and could be 
drawn over the head if necessary for pro- 
tection from cold or rain. It reached to the 
boot-tops so the dress might be held up 
underneath, and had lengthwise pockets on 
ach side of the front in which to slip the 
hands for warmth while other pockets in- 
side held extra handkerchief, gloves, or 
whatever was desired.

A Nice Holiday Gift. 
An acceptable Christmas present for a 
young man would probablv be a cravat 
sachet: it should be just long enough to hold 
a h>ng one when folded once. Cut two 
pieces of card board about fifteen inches 
long and five wide; cover both with one 
piece of linen but leave a space of about 
three-quarters of an inch between for fold-

handsome, sixteen page monthly devoted 
to the interests of the Household. In addi- 
tion to its proper sphere of domestic econ- 
omy it treats fully of such topics as dress- 
making, needlework, care of children, home 
decoration, etc., and has a full complement 
of entertaining stories by some of the most 
noted writers, among them Elizabeth Stuart
