MODEL FLAT FOR GIRLS.
Prospective Brides Are to Be Shown
How to Keep House.

Fashionable young women who are
members of st. Georges Protestant
Episcopal Church have opened model
fiat in one of the most crowded ois-
tricts of the East Side, the object being
the instruction of the young girls of
the neighborhood in the correct meth
DDS of furnishing and caring fer a
home. The model flat, of three rooms,
is located on the top floor of $50 Stan
ton street which building is occupied
by the New York Protestant Episco-
pal 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 $3.50.
Most attractive Of all is the kitchen,
where the greatest care and ingenuity
We're expended in making the best use
Of the small space. The refrigerator
is window box, which does away with
tie unsightiy array of bottles and bags
which disfigure most tenement window
sis. A patent clothes holder, which
turns up against the wall, is another
u@eful device. A shining array of
china tinWare, and copper is system
atically arranged in a wall closet, and
there is every convenience i'll the tiny
APARTMENT for doing the family laun-
DIV work, as well as for getting the
I meals. -a
The instruction afforded by the mo-
d,l fiat is not merely in the form Of an
object lesson. Children and young
girls Of the neghborhood arc instruct ed
in all kinds of household labor and are
taught the way to do household tasks
economically as well as correctly. The
children are taught in morning classes,
while at night there are classes for
girls who are about to be married.
When the students of household labor
enter the model fiat everything is in
disorder. 1t is their task to rearrange
everything, make the beds, air the
rooms, sweep and dust, under direction
OF a teacher.
After everything is in order the chit
dren are then taught how to cook a
workingmans 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 of 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 a
girl may graduate in domestic labor
after receiving a certain number Of

Nearly Lost Her Twenty.

At a pleasant little holiday party
given in the eastern section of the city
last Wednesday evening, young wo-
man who was among the guests relat-
ed how practical joke was perpe-
trated upon her on Christmas morn
ing.
AS she rected it, the family of
which she is a member, and the only
girl in the home circle, We're seated in
the dining room, after they had fin
isled breakfast, when a messenger ar
rived bringing a very large envelope
addressed to her in handwriting with
which she was not familiar. OF
course, she lost no time in opening it,
and was surprised to find another en-
velope Of smaller size in the Enclosure.
She opened this, and half a dozen
others, only to find empty envelopes,
until at last she lost her temper. She
declared she would throw the whole
bunch into the fire, and was about TO
do so when another member of the
family, who was concerned in the af-
fair, arrested her hand and persuaded
her to continue her investigation. Sc
she continued until she came to the
end and only found a very small en-
velope. When this was opened, how
ever, her perseverance was rewarded
by finding in the Enclosure a neatly
folded, crisp, new $40 bill, which was
p Christmas Gift from a fun-loving but
aflectionate brother.

do" said the girl, there would GER
tainly have been a tragedy-a financial
tragedy, at any rate-as 1 would have
c1emated that lovely $40 bill; but 'alls
