HOW TO BEGIN THE DAY.

Rise with the lark, but not for
one. Be very careful to attire
yourself neatly; ourselves, like our
salads, are always better for a
good dressing. Shave unmistak-
ably before you descend from your
room; chins, like oysters, should
have their boards taken of before
they are permitted to 60 down.
Start with determination to be
agreeable and good tempered, and
that like an overwhelming fire,
nothing shall put you out. Should
the tea not be hot, take it coolly;
should the ham not be salt, emu
late the philosophic Bacon, and
having made a few pleasant oh.
servatiops about the milk of hu-
man kindness, the sugar of domes-
tic felicity, the cup of happiness
being full, the butter resembling
an actor in fresh part, because it
appears in new roll, conclude
with the appropriate ballad of
"Let the toast pass" cracking
fresh eggs and stale jokes simul-
taneously.

ELECTRIC EXHIBIT
CHARMS SCORES

An electrical exhibit, complete in
every detail from the appointments Of =
well-organized kitchen TO the minutest
requirements OF my ladys bOudoir,
was opened this morning on the sew
entn floor Of woodward & LOthrop's s,
under the auspices OF the Potomac
Electric Company.
Hundreds Of lights for Illuminating
purposes glistened from every corner
Of a small suite Of rooms which had
been placed at the disposal OF the com
pany. The kitchen, which proved the
most popular Of all, however, was
thrOnged with feminine visitors all day.
There was an electric oven in which
delicious cake was baked, chatting
dishes in which a Welsh rarebit was
prepared and served to the visitors, a
coffee perculator in operation, double
boilers. and single boilers. irons ready
for the weeks laundry, and a dozen
other practical appliances. each one Of
them operated by electricity and dem
onsTated by a corps OF competent
women.
There is an attractive bOudOir, in
which many convenient electrical appli-
ences are installed. Not the least prac-
teal and comfortable is a warming pad
to which is attached d long wire and
socket, which may be connected with
the chandelier socket There Is a vi
orator. which may be attached in a
similar way, and which may be operated
by hand either TO timber up rheumatic
joints or 10 press the wrinkles out Of
my lady's cheek. It was difficult to get
some of the women visitors out of this
room. When once the machine was ap-
piled TO them each wanted to spent the
afternoon.
There is a mans apartment fitted up
which not only has a number Of at
tractive drop lights, but which is pro-
vided with an electric cigar lighter
a comfortable easy chair. There is also
a shaving mug 10 which a wire may be
attached, and If there is no hot water
in the house all one has TO do Is to turn
on the current
A dainty little apartment has been fit
ted up for a child's use, In the corner is
a Christmas tree beautifully decorated
with a hundred tiny electric bulbs. On
the table is 2 milk warmer, and about
the room are other soft electric lights
that aCd much TO the attractiveness of
the room.
One of the most useful exhibits Is a
motor attachment for a sewing machine,
by which the machine may be run
without any physical eXeTtion on the
part OF the housewife. Last of all, the
company has installed one of its meters
in order to show its patrons just how
their electric bills are accounted for. and
to prove that when the lights are not
burning the register does not work.
The entire exhibit is novel, and
demonstrated what great progress has
been made in putting the power TO prac-
| teal use. John Mclaughlin was in
charge Of the exhibit this morning. and
explained the details Of the various ap-
planes to the visitors.
