'HE ideal of refrigeration 
requires 100% perfection 
in these four points. 
(1) Cleanliness. 
(2) A strong and positive circula¬ 
tion of cold, dry air. 
(3) Coldness—or low tempera¬ 
ture. 
(4) Ice conservation. 
Some refrigerators have a high per¬ 
centage in one of these features, some in 
another—some in two or three. But the 
high average in all four points goes to the 
“ MONROE” 
Refrigerator 
Cleanliness is assured by its food com¬ 
partments of solid porcelain ware—over 
an inch thick—with all corners rounded. 
No metal to corrode—no enamel to chip— 
not a single crack, crevice or corner to 
harbor dirt or germs. As easy to clean 
and keep clean as a china dish. 
Special construction features based on 
scientific principles provide for a strong 
arid free circulation of cold, dry air. 
Low temperature is assured by heavy 
and efficient insulation and “cold-tiglit" 
construction throughout, also by tight.fit- 
ting doors that lock automatically when 
shut. No leakage of cold air here to off¬ 
set other economical features. This all 
contributes to minimum i«e consumption, 
which means small ice cost. 
The "MONROE" is built like fine fur¬ 
niture. The price is not the lowest. But 
the low ice consumption and lifetime serv¬ 
ice it gives make it by far the most eco¬ 
nomical. 
The "MONROE" is not sold in stores, 
but shipped direct from our factory— 
freight prepaid—on 30 days' approval with 
a guaranty of full satisfaction or money 
refunded. 
Write for Our Complimentary Book 
on refrigeration. It tells many important 
"hot weather" food facts and how you can 
have a “MONROE" in your home on ap¬ 
proval for 30 days where you can judge 
for yourself if it is not the only refrigera¬ 
tor that will fully measure up to your re¬ 
quirements. There is no obligation. Your 
name and address will bring the Book 
promptly.

porch fabrics are as inexpensive as 
they are effective. 
Hand-Stenciled Sunfasts 
In addition to these regular com¬ 
mercial linens and cretonnes are some 
splendid hand-stenciled sunfast fab¬ 
rics. The background is of rather 
coarse-grained natural colored linen 
of splendid wearing quality, and the 
designs are direct, vigorous and of 
good symmetry. They have a deco¬ 
rative quality distinctly Viennese in 
character. These fabrics are new and 
have the interest that all handwork 
possesses. Set bouquets of clear- 
colored flowers, stiff black flowers 
with a lined background, impossible 
blossoms never seen on land or sea, 
these are the designs. And they are 
particularly adapted for summer 
porch use, as the colors are fadeless, 
and in summer, we can stand good 
strong colors. 
Embroidered Fabrics 
Peasant work has its especial ap¬ 
peal, and the ideas are being carried 
out in a new industry with promising 
success. A linen cloth of homespun 
texture has color patterns worked 
out partly by hand, partly by machine. 
This combination lessens the cost of 
production and the hand and machine 
work are so cleverly combined that 
it all looks like handwork. The de¬ 
signs are splendidly chosen, one 
“mille-fleur” with its varied odd flow¬ 
ers scattered here and there has tre¬ 
mendous decorative possibilites. For 
bedspreads nothing could be better. 
There are fruit baskets and garlands 
of flowers suitable for window hang¬ 
ings, chair coverings and pillows. It 
is interesting to note that this work 
is done hv peasant women in a little 
town near New York under the direc¬ 
tion of a woman w'ho has studied 
peasant work abroad. 
Knotted and Dyed Fabrics 
Another new fabric of decorative 
possibilities is knotted, dyed and batik 
work. With this, too, is combined 
stenciling. Costumes have been made 
by this process for some time, but it 
has only lately been brought within 
the reach and to the notice of house 
furnishers. The material, cotton or 
silk, is tied in knots and dyed, the 
knotted part remaining uncolored. 
With the changing of the tightness 
and position of the knots the effect 
of the color is varied.

Interest Your 
Children in a Garden 
When the lure of spring is in the 
air, and there is pure joy in simply 
being out of doors, every childish heart 
has a wish to “make a garden.” For 
the boy or girl who has this desire 
there is nothing more appropriate or 
useful than 
The 
Mary Frances 
Garden Book 
By JANE EAYRE FRYER 
Author of “The Mary Frances Cook 
Book ”, ’The Mary Frances Sewing 
Book ," and the Mary Frances 
Housekeeper’ ’ 
In the simplest possible 
words and style, and in the 
most fascinating kind of 
story, the Mary Frances 
Garden Book actually 
teaches children how to 
grow all their favorite flow¬ 
ers and vegetables — how 
to prepare the soil, how 
to plant tlie seeds, how 
to plant bulbs, the 
name of parts of flow¬ 
ers, how plants grow by 
fertilization and repro¬ 
duction, how to guard 
against insect enemies, how 
to care for growing plants, 
how to make a hotbed, 
what flowers and vegetables 
are best for children’s gar¬ 
dens, etc., etc., and gives 
an outline of each month’s 
work for a year. It gives 
the little reader a more in¬ 
telligent knowledge of the ' 
processes of Nature, and of 
how to direct them in gar¬ 
dening, than the majority 
of grown people possess. / 
It also instills a love 
a n d appreciation o f 
plant and animal life, 
and of all Nature.
