True, It Is gloomy enough to bo ushered Into a tombllko apartmout where ono can scarcely groptt III way to a sent, uud to discover, dis-cover, after becoming accustomed td thu dim light, that every chair k and sofa Is covered with a duster, apparently equipped for traveling to some unknown land, lint ladles must Imvc I heir carpets kept bright and so the heavy curtains aro drawn. Hut for tho sake .of health and real true beauty let this bo donu In tho "best parlor" if It must bo done at all. Let tho rooms where tho family lives be cheerful and sunny. No lady would expect her house plants to send nut full, bright-colored blossoms unless she placed them at a window whore tho sunshine could Invigorate ,Tr them. No more should she expect hor children to show fresh, rosy complex-Ions, complex-Ions, or devcnlp gunlsl dispositions, unless they have thu opportunity to romp In sunny, airy rooms. Kichfleld Jtuapcr.
