turned into the lane just behind her.
She screamed and he grabbed her by the
arm.

cannot be kept clean if the wood is
soaked all the time. A wooden roller and
towels for it must be part of the equip
ment. A poker, coal hod-two of the lat

lighting of a house.
Wooden spoons and tin ones large and
small knives. forks, etc, may be bought
in large numbers. Butter paddles for
bowls are wanted to make that table
commodity look attractive. An ice pick,
one garbage can, or perhaps two, and a
brush and shovel for the sink.
Even the tiniest laundry brings the need
for clothes pins. line and basket, as
well as dashboard and boiler. although in
apartments where the water is very hot
the tin cooker is not always required.
A young hOusekeeper whose new cook
makes constant demands upon her for
utensils will find after careful inquiry as
to the reason for these requests that the
woman is not asking for fancy articles,
and SO she should do her best to supply
all pans, etc, that are needed every
day.
