Z FASHIONABLE young women who
I are members of St. Georges Pro-
testant Episcopal church have opened
a model fiat in one of the most crowd
ed districts of the East side, the object
being the instruction of the young
girls Of the neighborhood in the cor!
rect methods of furnishing and caring
for home. The model fiat, of three
rooms, is located on the top floor of
a building on Stanton street occupied
by the New York Protestant Episcopal
City Mission society.
Attractive in every way is the little
domicile, from the window box at the
front window to the shining kitchen
stove and tinware. The entire cost
Of furnishing was $50.
Most attractive of all IL the kitchen,
where the greatest care and ingenuity
were expended in making the best use
of the small space. The refrigerator
is window box, which does away
with the unsightly array of bottles and
bags which disfigure most tenement
window sills. A patent clothes holder,
which turns up against the wall, is
another useful device. A shining ar
ray of china, tinware and copper is

Systematically arranged in wall clos
ct, and there is every convenience in
the tiny apartment for doing the fam
lily laundry work, as well as for get
ting the meals.
The instruction Afforded by the mod
Ell fiat is not merely in the form of
an object lesson. Children and young
girls of the neighborhood are instruct
ed In all kinds of household labor, and
are taught the way to do household
tasks economically as well as correct
ly. The children are taught in morn
ing classes, while at night there are
classes for girls who are about to be
married. When the students of house
hold labor enter the model fiat every
thing is in disorder. 1t is their task
to rearrange everything, make the
beds, air the rooms, sweep and dust,
under direction of teacher.
After everything is in order the chill
dren are then taught how to cook q
workingman's dinner. They then sit
down and eat what they have cooked.
after which they wash the dishes and
put everything away in orderly fash
ion. This constitutes the lesson for the
day.
Besides the usual cooking, there is
instruction in cooking for children and
invalids. Laundry work is also taught
in detail. The older girls go through
the same course of instruction. The
lessons are Systematically given, and
girl may graduate in domestic labor
after receiving a certain number Of
credits.
