LIVING IN CITIES.
The Apartment House Is breaking Up
American Homes.


American Homes.
/ have no mind to harrow up the
minds Of my readers with any explica-
tion Of the miseries and mysteries that
confront tho average housekeeper in the
daily maintenance Of simple bat com
Portable existence for her family. AS for
herself, an existence at all seems a
struggle which at times she would glad
~ give over. One might define hero
inc as the average American woman
who does her own housekeeping. But
some hint Of the unnatural and unhappy
state Of affairs existing at presut may
be deduced from the consideration If
two economic facts.
First, woman is by nature q home
founder and homemaker. This is not
intended as an assertion of personal be-
lief. but as statement Of scientific fact
IL was woman-not nan-who opened
the industrial world. 1t was woman
who made the first rude dwellings and
dressed skins and wOve textiles for
clothing. - was woman and not man
who made the first fire and the first
utensils for cooking and the first rude
tools for industrial ends. All her a'ctivi-
ties clustered about the hearth and min
isttred to the home. If the woman and
the wc1k had lot reacted upon each 9TH
e. so that today women should be by
naiuie hcmemak1rs and home lovers.
there are still depths for the scientists
to sound in tn. working of heredity and
Of natural selection.
Aud yet-here is my second fact--the
enormous piles of stone and brick rapid
ly filling the choice plots Of ground in
our large cities and shutting ont the
light of heaven with their gabled tops
are mute if not magnificent Witnesses TO
the fact that the investment Of capital
is all against the perpetuation Ct the
separate home. The shrewd modern in
vestor is willing to put hundreds Of
thousands against hundreds of dollars
that (for his lifetime at least) women
are going to prefer the ease of the apart
meDt hotel to the separate house with
its privacy, its own table, and-alas-
its own service. - Helen Watterson
Moody in Scribner's

easy as leaving salt where the animals
