‘^|''11E IIIOAL'rn of yourself and family is in 
I danger if you use most other refrigerators 
than The ^lonroe. 
Because The Monroe is the solid porcelain refrigerator. 
It can be kept thoroughly, spotlessly, gertnlessly 
Most otlier refrigerators have cracks and corners which can¬ 
not be cleaned. Mere particles of food collect and breed (Terms 
by the million. These germs get into your food and make 
it poiso}t, and the family suffers—from no traceable cause. 
The Monroe Refrigerator has no cracks or sharp corners. _ 
The interior is made of <5;/*? piece 0/ seamless porcelain 
ivare an inch tliick (construction patented) with every cor¬ 
ner ronnded. 
The Monroe can be sterilized and rendered ^er?nUssly 
clean in every part in an instant by simply wiping it out 
with a cloth wrung from hot water. Tliis is not true of most 
refrigerators—no matter wliat is claimed by the makers. 
Tliis is why The Monroe is installed in the best flats and apart¬ 
ments, occupied by people wlio care—and why Tlie Monroe is 
found today in a large majority of the very best liomes m the 
United States. 
And it's why^'<? 7 « should have The Monroe in y^7(r heme— 
for the sake of knowing your food is clean, and to proii ct the 
family’s health at the same time. So. in your o7v?i interest,

THE EDITOR’S TALKS 
(Continued from page 177.) 
to dye my draperies a rich red and have 
the same color in plush for a table cover 
to use during the day when the table is 
not set. I had thought also of buying a 
fern dish of porcelain or majolica ware, 
something in red flowers and green 
leaves, or several shades of green and 
brown, such as the majolica ware comes 
in. I can buy a new rug for the 
floor if this can be obtained for 
^35.00. The room will require one 
in size nine by twelve. I have Not¬ 
tingham lace curtains at my windows; 
these extend to the floor as do the over- 
draperies. I have noticed that you 
advise curtains to the sill. What would 
you suggest here I can turn the Not¬ 
tingham lace curtains over at the top and 
thus save cutting them. 
“I have neglected to say that the 
woodwork of the room is walnut in a 
rather dark shade of brown and 
shows no varnish. I could have this 
finished with a gloss varnish if you think 
best.” 
We suggested to the writer that she 
have her tan colored door curtains dyed 
a shade of dull rich blue which harmon¬ 
izes particularly well with tans and 
browns. To introduce blue as the 
dominant color in this room would be 
more satisfactory than if the red were 
used, particularly as the room is of 
southern exposure and very well lighted. 
It was recommended that the Not¬ 
tingham curtains be removed, and cur¬ 
tains of ecru net run on small brass rods 
by a casing at the top and hung next 
the glass, he substituted. These cur¬ 
tains should extend only to the sill and 
he finished with a three inch hem. As 
this material is io8 inches wide and 
ninety cents a yard, it can be split, the 
selvage edges used at the hack, the front 
edge finished by a very narrow hem 
neatly made. The over-draperies can 
also be reserved for some other room 
and curtains of blue flax or coarse 
linen at ;$i.oo a yard be substituted. 
The lower edge of these curtains should 
be worked with heavy cotton floss (of 
an ecru shade) in conventional design. 
For the table cover, ecru flax exactly 
matching the color of the paper should 
he used. If the top of the table is 
sufficiently good to have a portion of it 
exposed, we advise a scarf for the center
