or marble mantels or no,--whether our doors are machine-made or
hand-made. All our fixtures shall be of the plainest and simplest, but
we will have fresh air. We will open our door with a latch and string,
if we cannot afford lock and knob and fresh air too,--but in our house
we will live cleanly and Christianly. We will no more breathe the foul
air rejected from a neighbor's lungs than we will use a neighbor's
tooth-brush and hair-brush. Such is the first essential of "our
house,"--the first great element of human health and happiness,--AIR. "I

"Mamma took care of that," said Marianne. "You may be quite sure," said
I, "if your mother has had a hand in planning your house, that the
ventilation is cared for." It must be confessed that Bob's principal
idea in a house had been a Gothic library, and his mind had labored more
