Not Unlike Those of the Pres
ent Day.

The modern housewife may with

fences which her kitchen affords, but
she need not smile too superciliously
At the thought of the rude makeshifts
of days long gone by She certainly
would not do so if she were to spend
q morning. as did writer in the Eng
lish Illustrated Magazine, in the Ma
tional museum at Naples, and look at
the kitchen and other household uten-
sils that were in use !. 200 years ago.
Surely there was very much more of
