is something you would want to breathe – mold and dust considered and filtered. Day and night can be
very different also for heat regulation. You will want
to close and darken win- dows in the hot parts of the day. But allow gentle breezes at night, if the evenings are cool. Then again, if you have reduced humidity with mechanical appliances, you will want

done with that and you just still can’t tolerate the same sleeping conditions? If you have reduced noise, improved humidity, re- duced temperature, and still find the Jack Sprat scenario, you may need to use separate sleeping spots for the period of the heat spell. Just be sure if you do, that you find friendly time to visit and wish each other well with your sleeping. The understanding you develop when facing your different points of view on this hot issue will pro- vide some reassurance that you care about each other, that you will assist the other in meeting their needs even if different than yours, and provide more confidence in your home team in times to come.
Happy Home Team! Dr. Debi
HISTORY from 19
seem to hear the rush of the barges through the summer waters, and see the august throng of peo- ple that gathered that day at the hall, the sheen of the gold-laced and silver-laced coats and waistcoats, and the ornamented brocades, the stately bow and deco- rous gravity; can still see the admiring smile of the courtly Wentworth as he drank my health in one of those spiral-stemmed, monogram- engrav ed champagne glasses that were mother’s especial pride, and which, when not in use, always sat on the highest shelf of the parlor cupboard. Ah, well, who would ever think it was nigh on to sixty years ago! “What changes the years
do bring! Who would have believed then that we should ever have tired of King George’s rule. I hardly understood it all anyway, perhaps because I am a woman, but it was something about taxation and representation. Well, now that it is all over. I hope that the profit will be worth what it cost. It is almost like a new life-this change from loyal subjects

In that old time it was Pep- perell, Wentworth, Belcher and Shirley, none the less good. men and true. “The island remains un-
changed, thank Heaven for that! The Cutts domain is as baronial as ever. Very little change is visible any- where. The oaken floor, which it was mother’s rule to have daily rubbed with wax, still shines like ma- hogany, and the dear old crest and coat of arms that belonged to our family in England greet me where they are carved over the great fireplaces. Yes, our little world seems to be set aside and has not yet fallen into the new ways of this strange age. Every night the drawbridge is taken up for safety, as in the time of the Indian inva- sions, and every morning it is put down, connecting us with, the main land. We still keep and use our coach and barge, our silver with the armorial bearings and our array of servants. In doors and out the true English hospitality reigns still as in the good old days when the Cutts feasted the Pepperells and the Went- worths, in our great dining room, where sixty guests could sit down at a time. “And that reminds me
of what I started to write about, the story of one of those stately dinners of the ancient time. Let me see, it was in the middle of July and mother’s birth- day, and I think the year 1727. I was then nineteen, and was just home from school at Boston, where I had been taught not only music, drawing and em- broidery, but one day in every week was devoted to the manufacture of cake and pastry, and if I do say it, I could roll out a pie crust as light and flaky See HISTORYon 45
