OPEN WINDOWS
Some of the drawbacks of open windows are more- evident than the advantages, although most people now realise how great is the gain to health if the air of bedrooms' and living rooms is kept fresh and pure. In towns, the chief drawback to open windows is the army of smuts that enter and deposit themselves on the furniture, while in town and country alike, fog and rain are apt to cause Open rooms to become unpleasantly damp. To overcome those drawbacks each window should be fitted with a light wooden frame, the same width ns itself, and as deep as it is desired to keep the window open. This should be inserted above the top sash, and supported by it so that the wliole of the open space a't the top is covered,.
