Window Shades 
—are made to save you money 
The explanation is simple. Brenlin Unfilled Shades 
are made of a closely woven cloth without that filling 
of chalk and clay which in the ordinary shade so so< n 
cracks and falls out in unsightly streaks and “pin 
holes.”_ Sun won’t fade this material, nor water spot 
it. It is supple — not stiff, yet always hangs straight 
and smooth and really shades. 
Hang a Brenlin Unfilled Shade at one window and 
any ordinary kind at another. Long after the ordinary 
shade has been replaced, the Brenlin Unfilled Shade 
will retain its original “good looks.” 
For windows 1 yard wide by 2 yards long, 75c (except 
in the Far West ) Special sizes and Brenlin Duplex- 
white one side, dark the othtr—made to order at pro¬ 
portionate prices

street cars in the city. But we have more 
time for reading, and so we read more — 
we have more real social friendliness and 
less artificial society — and so we have a 
truer, more natural human intercourse. It 
seems to me our outlook on life is both 
more natural and more sane, and conse¬ 
quently broader, than when we lived in the 
city. This may be enthusiasm for my re¬ 
lease from city bondage, but it seems to me 
that we have a greater interest in things 
that really matter, a broader outlook and 
a keener zest in life than ever before. My 
husband has found the move good for his 
business, has made many valuable friends, 
and he as well as the children are happy. 
His old habit of bewildered forgetfulness 
is entirely gone, and be actually looks 
younger than he did a year ago.” 
Meanwhile, Mr. Spence was finding the 
car a tighter connection with the city than 
he had thought it could be. He not only 
drove to and from the station — he drove 
to and from the city on half holidays, tak¬ 
ing his family with him, saving commuta¬ 
tion tickets at the smaller expense of gaso¬ 
line, plus the advantages of ‘‘a train which 
runs when you are ready” and plenty of 
fresh air. His circle of business acquaint¬ 
ances was enlarged not only by his daily 
association with the “splendid lot of fel¬ 
lows” he had told his wife of meeting, but 
by the social visits which the car made pos¬ 
sible. From being an earnest and im¬ 
placable enemy of the car as a plutocratic 
toy, he found himself at the end of his 
first six months an earnest advocate of the 
car, and a firm believer in it from utilita¬ 
rian standpoints as well as from those of 
mere enjoyment. 
“I say, Bennett,” he said one morning 
to the chance Samaritan who had once 
given him a ride, dropping into the seat 
beside him in the train. ‘Tve a confes¬ 
sion to make. Remember the time yo.u 
gave me a lift and we had a discussion as 
to who was rich and who wasn’t, because 
you owned a car and I lived near the 
station ?” 
“Sure!” said Mr. Bennett. “Still railing 
at automobiles?” 
“Not by a whole lot!” answered Mr. 
Spence. “I’m a convert. I’ve got a car 
and a country place out in the real coun¬ 
try. It’s the very backbone of our living. 
We visit our friends in the car — never see 
them otherwise. We go to town and 
fetch friends to come and stay week ends 
with us — they’d never get there if we 
didn't. We use the car to make the maids 
feel as if they were living, not existing — 
haven’t had a bit of trouble getting and 
keeping good ones as soon as we found 
out the car wasn't made exclusively for 
our own use. My wife does all her call¬ 
ing, shopping and visiting in the car. 
Other night Larry — our boy — woke up 
with a fever. Doctor’s car was laid up. I 
got my car out, went for him, and had 
him at the house in forty minutes. Two 
weeks ago one of my neighbors had a fire. 
At the same time his telephone line wasn’t 
working. He came rushing over to me in
