Tt' wo would have oool jiariwrs, diningrooms, kitchens,,and bod-rooms, during the hot suuinier weather, we must have mosquito setting r irire gauzein all our windows, uu!, ir' possible, st the doórs ulso. Wiiiilow bliuds cannot take tho place of netting or gauze, because 1i-.-y exelude so much oí' tht: oool evenini night air, and although they aie vcry es sential and neodtulto shut ; the hot ■aushine, and the beating storm, yetthey wiil not anw ,■ all pur needs. Mosquito netting can ba purcha&ed a( a verv cheap rute, and tho " tuile mon ' can oHsily unuke. or procure s.nie frames to fit al] tli e windows, wTiich öt.n b! either p-iiiitt-il white or staine:! n dart red to matfth tlie sashcs of tibu wim Tnen d.irk blue, pink, green or whitf raosijuito npttiiip: can be easily stretchi d nd taoked over them by the skillfnl fingers of a liouso-motln-r ; and aft er she has used them ior ono lammer, nothing could persuado her to go without, them another Sfiaeou. They will oxcludo mos quitoes, flics, mothff, and all other inseotp, and will not exoludo the fresh, cool air. Thoy are very easily tiiVen out and put in; or they can be so arranged that the windows can be closeJ on damp, cool days. Any woman can tack a pieoo of the netting across the lower half of the window on the outside ot' the f ash, il' that is tho on'y means sho oan employ. The wire jauze requircs a workniaii's handlingr, and it can be mude into permanent shades which will withstand all wcathers. When wo have tried the good effect of these shades we must also have the doors attended to. A slifíht frainewoi k of pine aun be made, and faitened to the outcr door posts by uienns of itroiif? hinges ; nud with a hasp to lasten it with, und B hamlle to open it by, we can bid defiance to flies and niosquitoes both by day and night. Comnion loóla and a little inge nuity are needed to prepare a door, blind, or shade for the outer kitchen piazzii, which will add far bevond il? cost to the comfort of the cook and houpewife. JIo?quito netting can do duty tor the shade when tlin door frnme is roatïy ; but coarse wire nettine, such as is used t;or sievcs and the like, would ba f ir preferable, because it would last for a long: time, while the ootton iietting, ij usually destroyeu in two years. In usin? tlie ootton nettiniï, liowever, for tlip window?, it is well to spleet the pure white tor tho parlor, pink for the ehïmbers, and green or bluo for the kitchon. p.mtrv nnd milk
