broken by deep tucks set on at wide inter-

1t is news as is news-news calcu-

cheer up and take notice.
A son Of Denmark. whose heart throbbed
with sympathy for the perplexed house
keeper, evolved out of his genius a domes-
tic arrangement which sounds the crack
Of doom for servants. The distinguishing
feature OF this patent, self-running estab-
lishment is that within the walls, by CEN
tralizing the service and utilizing every
labor-saving device. domestic work and
worry are reduced to a minimum and the
cost OF living also.
The inventors plan in operation COM
prises group Of attached homes for
twenty-five families. All appliances for
domestic work are in central building.
where the necessary help IS quartered and
employed. All buildings are cleaned peri
odically at times fixed by the occupier, by
vacuum cleaner: boots and knives are
cleaned by machinery, and It goes without
saying that there are electric lights every
where, telephones, speaking tubes and
every conceivable modern convenience.
Washing is not undertaken by the gen.
eral staff, but washing, drying and ironing
rooms are provided, and a certain number
OF washer women are attached to the build
ing. whose services can be engaged. The
washing up after meals is done by the
central stan, and tea breakfast and din
ner services are supplied unless otherwise
arranged
The kitchen is presided over by an ex-
perienced head cook, who buys In provi-
sions and stores and all meals are prepared
in the central kitchen. according to daily
menu, within a fairly elastic margin OF
time No one need ever dread dishes he
disllkes being sent up 20 him, for he has
only TO inform the kitchen what he wishes
not to have.
Special dishes not on the menu or spe-
cial meals can be prepared by giving a
days notice, and as a tiny kitchen, with
gas stove, forms part OF each fiat there Is
nothing to prevent private preparation Of
food when inclinations or circumstances
render It desirable. Meals are sent up In
electric lifts communicating with the din
Ing rooms.
The very little homework which Is not
thus provided for can easily be performed
by the mistress OF the dat, or she can pay
TO have It done by the general stan.

For sealskin and mink the same process
is used. the hot sand and sawdust being
employed in place of the powder. The
sand is first heated and rubbed well into
the fur. This is removed by the rattan
sticks. Then the sawdust is applied and

often heads a subscription list with a

Economy in the kitchen is frequently the
cause OF trouble. One woman simply can't
keep a chef because she insists that every
particle OF butter left over from the table
shall be saved and used for cooking.
Another has no end OF trouble with her
servants because she insists upon their
