IN the kneading of bread, for example,

If the skilled housekeeper u offered
any labor saving tool to assist her in this
understands the best method, whether
the new tool viii be Of assistance or
merely offers makeshift for the genuine
process. Cool makers Of cake formerly
used an old fashioned egg whip. BY

fine froth, stiff and tough enough to bend
when cut. A good cake baker knows,
however, that such . froth will produce

Again. in mixing in the -four with the

knows that IL she folds the -four in care

strokes, her cake viii be feathery light,
but that with the circular stirring she
will break down the whites and render
the cake liable to be tough. Her success
depends upon scientific knowledge of the
proper way to do her work in every case.
In cleaning there is q right and wrong

charwomen she can devote great deal
Of strength TO her work and yet leave a

she is done. II. on the contrary, the
worker keeps two pals of water at hand,
one TO scrub with aud one for rinsing the
floor with. abundance of clean cloths and
firm brush. and the door is scrubbed
with the grain OF the wood. it may bo
cleaned with very little outlay OF muscle.
