All. OVER The HOUSE.
Opposition to Evolution Of Home In.
dustries j. UseIcss.


dustrics j. UseIess.
1t is of course perfectly true that
with the existing appliances for
housekeeping it would often be in
conveEislt or impossible to alter
present methods IA housework, and
that to purchase large amounts Of
cooked food or TO do away with the
services Of many housekeepers
would not be practicable until there
has been sufficient evolution in the
plan and equipment of the house
itself to adapt it to the new condi-
tions. That the tendency is to have
increased amounts of work done
outside the house is undeniable.
Laundry work and certain kinds Of
cleaning and cooking are already
done by outside agencies in con-
stantly increasing amounts. They
are merely following the course of
other household industries that left
The home roof earlier in the CEN
tury--candle making, the curing Of
meats, spinning, weaving, to a GER
tain extent sewing and many other
incipient industries that have now
become specialized and organized in
factories and shops on a colossal
scale. How far this tendency of
having housework done by outside
agencies will be carried is disputed
question, but that the tendency ex-
lists and that it is in line with the
general course of industry cannot
be denied by the most conservative
homemakers. In so far as it is in
line with the general impulse by
which industrial and social forces
are shaping the world it is inevita-
BILE. Failure to recognize the tend
ency can only prolong present fric-
ton and discomfort; attempts to
thwart it can only end in ultimate
defeat.

ing said to him, "Well, L hope you
are satisfied" The orator assumed
a modest air. "Come, now," said
his friend, Gown up. No one can
have an ovation like that without
being moved by it," "Well, then, l
own up" said Jules Simon. Laugh
ing heartily, his friend continued:
"There were two or three thousand
people there, were there not? Ex-
cept you, myself and three more,
whose names | could give, not a soul
understood French. You got your
applause on trust" Jules Simon
concludes, ''It was the greatest ora
torical success of my life"
