"a vow that the holidays are over
~ housekeepers all over the land
Il are beginning to recoup from
the extra demands upon time
and strength and purse, in many in
stances drafting out schedule which
they propose to follow that their work
may be simplifed. This is, of course, as
It should be, for all housekeepers of ex-
perience can but admit that without
definite ideas regarding any course of
action something is sure to be omitted.
Conceding all this, however, is it not
true that we housewives and mothers are
often guilty of foolishly holding to our
plans when they would be more honored
IN the breach than in the observance?
Occasions are constantly arising which
should cause us to utterly ignore the
carefully prepared schedule, and adopt
In its place plan fitted to the occasion.
That there is value in having a pro-
gramme for each days work no one will
more readily agree than does the writer
of this article; but the plea is for an
adaptable, adjustable one.
First of all, let us consider the every
day conditions. Perhaps there is moth
ing that women look upon as criterion
of their work more than their washing
and ironing. Each housewife is, as to
methods, law unto herself; but almost
all who are not dependent upon outside
help are agreed that Monday is the day
for the work at the tub, while Tuesday
must inevitably be spent in ironing the
clothes which are piled white and dry in
the basket

To Tighten the Burdens
To make specific suggestions concern

be lessened when we are scarcely up to
the mark or when company and courtesy
demand our presence in the parlor rather
than in the kitchen:
The silver being washed and put away,
the china may be packed in dishpan or

Fruit desserts may take the place of

DEATH IN BIG APARTMENT FIRE
TWO Children and Their Mother Res cued i'll an Unconscious Condition, and Four Bremen Were Injured
 When Burning Stairway Fell.

New York, Nov. 1.-Two persons were killed and four seriously injured today in a fire which destroyed two upper floors of the Roseland apart ment house on Manhattan avenue on the upper West Side.
 William H. Hammitt, real estate dealer, forty-five years old, jumped from front window of the fifth floor and was impaled on a picket fence below, dying instantly. His wife, forty years old, was burned to death.
 But for the heroic work of the fire fighters it is believed many more would have lost their lives. Im- periled tenants on the lower floors jumped into fire net spread all over the sidewalk and landed unharmed.
 Two children and their mother we're rescued in an unconscious condition and four firemen were hurt when a burning stairway fell under them in a burning tenament.
 The annex to the Algonquin Hotel was gutted in another fire, wrecking the apartments of Frederick Thomp- son, the theatrical man, who escap- ed just in time with some of his most valued trophies. The 250 guests of the hotel proper were routed out.

The old actor Will sit in his cozy corner and between sips of Burgundy tell you with a smacking of the lips for emphasis that the stage art of today is decadent, but with all due respect to the sincerity of his reckoning, it is admitted by the impartial that the methods of today show vast improvement over those Of what are often referred to as "the palmy days.'' The leader of the new school of acting with it's key note of naturalness has always been Minnie Maddern Fiske. In Tess and "Recky Sharp" her use of this quail ity proved genuine artistic sensa- fion.

 ence at the Elks Theater last night, Miss Clara Lipman, wife s.of Louis. Mann, whose ''Man Who Stood
 StilY' of last season still remains as q
 pleasant recollection here, displays
 charming talents seldom seen on the, stage. Her voice is sweet and nexi--
 ble, her acting and changing of dis-
 position superb. Few actresses on the American stage possess the charming stage personality of this
 young star and her work of last ev- ening stamped her one of the great est actresses ever seen here. She is, graceful, has humor and feeling and her scenes show excellent dramatic strength. The efforts of the support ing company are generally in keeping with the work of Miss Lipnlan. but Franklin Rtchie's Beacon Love could be improved upon. Mias Eella Knight as the yivacf0es daughter whose heart is captured early in the game, and Miss Aida Co r-ly0-lssas Victoria Bridge" of the AmericanS tLeaters. do some excellent work Louis Kimball as Putnam E-,4rson Hii." is delightful and his work pleasing. The show migh. be class ed as one of the most enjoyable cf the season.

The wouId-be son. in-law rewards her good nature by falling crazily in love with her, wrenching the heart of the daughter ' and rousing at last sense of fitness of things in the mother, who sees hss ldiccy and takes her proper place il the family.
