Cooperative Kitchens

a New Orleans paper notices the general
dissatisfaction of the honsekeepers OF that ciry
viii their present way of living. Their prin-
cIpal grievance real or imagined, Is the uuali
" OF service. The reed people are SAID TO De
restless aud fond CT change Many of them
are lazy and iReff1 Gent, while even the hest
servants do not, as rule, stay Commercially in
the same families for a long term Ia fact. the
same complain's are made there against the
freedmen which we heir so Ireq uently in the
northern States about white ssheIp'D Surh
complains will always be heard in an nm
pcpdiaied country, where the Iaborer has
many opportunities to gain living.
A remecy has been saZge3ted. 1t is for a
number o. families TO furnish a Ioiur kite hem
and put u IN charge of a cook and steward
both the best that can be obtained, and both
well paid The former would have charge of
the lower servants; the latter of the purchase,
and OF the distribution of the prepared food
among the houses of the stockholders
The advantages claimed for such an ar
Ianeement are: relief from the worry of look
ING after servants aud of marketing: better
COOKING apparatus and service than a single
family OF moderate means could command:
reduced cost OF food. since IL could be bought
al Wholesale, and At the same time II the ste "
I'D were competent, improved quality: and
hnaiIy, grateful increase in the leisure time
OF the ladies OF the families.
il may De said that meals can be procured a.

papers Justly replies that there is thi. differ
