A NEW STEP.
Foreigners Initiating Usage
In an,llllnols Town.

Berlin, Dec. 26.-Early in the
new year, women prominent in
German literary aud philanthropic
circles will inaugurate movement
for the foundation of q house
keeping union modelled on the
plan in operation at Evasion, Ill.
The Indies assert that individual
housekeeping is irrational in an
age when the number of women
engaged in professional and com
mercial occupation is rapidly in
crcasing.
1t is proposed to institute great
central kitchens and laundries, and
to maintain huge stats of janitors
and chambermaids, with the intcu-
ton of relieving members of the
union of the evaporation and
worry of-orlinary housekeeping.
Miss Lilly Braun. the author of
the movement, said:
Capitalization Of housekeeping
is ms necessary n feature Of modern
life Ms combination, which is now
recognized ms an indispensable fac
tor in business life. Women have
taken permanent places as mental
aud physical workers, and these
new rules demand reformation of
home duties. We do not hope to
compel the woman who regards
housekeeping as calling to for
sake it; neither do we seek to rev
olutionize women from the home
atmC sphere. We mean to enable
them to breathe more OF it by rid
ding them of the drudgery of the
cook stove, wash tub and busting
