Always look well — really shade — 
wear so much better 
Brenlin has the soft, dull finish now so 
much in vogue in rugs and hangings, and 
the quiet tones of the Brenlin colors har¬ 
monize perfectly with any color scheme. 
Brenlin is supple—not stiff. It always 
hangs smooth and even. No matter how 
long a Brenlin Shade is used, it won’t be¬ 
come faded and wrinkled nor frayed at 
the edges. 
The difference in material is what makes 
Brenlin look so much better and wear so 
much longer. Brenlin is a closely woven 
cloth, made entirely without the “filling” 
which, in ordinary shades, cracks and falls 
out, leaving unsightly streaks and pinholes. 
Brenlin is not expensive. There is scarce¬ 
ly any difference in cost. For a few cents 
more a shade you can get Brenlin and it 
will outwear several ordinary shades.

weapon with which to fight potato bugs, 
he had stopped, as he passed, to investi¬ 
gate the work which the Squire’s man was 
doing with his old-fashioned cultivator. 
The field certainly looked finely, especially 
where it had been worked; but the broad 
teeth of the machine, with nothing to regu¬ 
late its depth, ripped up the ground for 
several inches deep, especially where the 
man bore down a little on the handles, as 
he was prone to do. Mantell watched 
thoughtfully. That field of potatoes cer¬ 
tainly looked well; it was undoubtedly 
ahead of his. Could it be that all the the¬ 
ories he had been acquiring about surface 
cultivation were, after all, incorrect? He 
decided that the next time he went through 
his own he would do ten rows deep, just 
as an experiment. There had been no 
rain for several weeks, and the dark, moist 
earth the Squire’s cultivator dug up cer¬ 
tainly looked good. 
“There doesn’t seem to be a single 
positive rule in this whole farming busi¬ 
ness,’’ Mantell said to himself, as he 
passed on. 
Then he fancied that a bird in the road¬ 
side thicket answered “Right-oh !’’ “Right- 
oh!” and laughed to himself, as the hot 
sunshine beat down upon his bare, tanned 
neck and arms, and the white road before 
him. Puzzles, problems, disappointment 
and all, it seemed many times better than 
the rush and odors and clangor of the 
city’s streets, which he had known so long.

ness is apparent. In the pantry there is 
a built-in refrigerator level with the wall 
which allows the ice to be put in from 
the outside. Underneath a spacious china 
closet, a place is provided to hold the ex¬ 
tra leaves of the dining-table. The 
kitchen appeals at once to the house¬ 
keeper, for it is light and attractive and 
heated by the furnace, so that a gas range 
can be used all the year round, doing away 
with the coal range and unsightly boiler. 
The laundry is in the basement, where 
there is a stove with waterback connected 
for heating the water used throughout 
the house. The top of this stove also 
serves for heating irons. A bathroom and 
toilet are provided in the basement. The 
kitchen and pantry floors are covered with 
a Pompeiian red composition flooring put 
down in mastic form, and allowed to 
harden. 
The second floor has three bedrooms, a 
bathroom and an unusually large sitting- 
room opening on to a balcony, distinctly 
pleasing and possessing some good archi¬ 
tectural features. The walls are rough 
plastered, brown yellow, with float marks 
showing. At one end is a delightful al¬ 
cove with a roomy divan. This alcove util¬ 
izes the space over the back stairs. Strong 
brown decoration is introduced in a wall
