~ OUSEKEEPING IN Paris is an
art, because 1t is SO expensive.
Flats are even more popular in
- the French capital than In
America, and the French woman has
made a study Of living comfortably
in as small an apartment as possible.
OF course, the ingenious inventor has
aided her in many ways He has
brought out a rolling stove and a
kitchen bath. besides numerous other
smaller things hat aid the Partisan
housekeepsT.
Only a few Of the apartments in
Paris have bathrooms, a thing that
can hardly be understood by the
housekeepers OF this country. Many
tenants prefer the space for other
things. The bathroom in Paris In
indeed a luxury, and Americans who
live there must either put up their
W tubs or submit to q large annual
rental.
The rolling stove is really one of
the handy inventions for the French
housekeeper. 1t can be rolled over
the waxed floors from dining Don to
bedroom. 1t Is merely pulled away
from the sheet-iron plaque masking
the CRATE. an iron cap Is clapped over
Its stumpy, heavy iron piped-end, to
prevent the gas escaping. and a spring
closes its hole in the chimney plaque.
Then the red-hot stove can be gal

well, II you don't want to save your

any use in even trying to do So
that's your funeral, or 1t will be some
day.
But there's another kind of saving
Bo, that doesn't concern money and
really, when you come right down to
brass tacks, it's a great deal more I'M
portant. 1t Is the saving of yourself,
of you within you, OF your
power for work, for pleasure, for self
culture, for acknowledgment. This
kind of saving. like the financial, must
be systematic IN order to show large
returns-and 1t does, too, II you'll but
give 1t a fair show.
Do you ever think OF yourself az a

their taxes. Or, more exactly, real
estate is not the basis of taxation; but
the householder is.
Every citizen owning his furniture
is in for 1t. For instance, If q house
holder paid 1906 per year rent for a
small, new fiat, consisting of parlor,
dining room, kitchen. bath and two
bedrooms, his taxes would be $40, or
fourteen per cent. Of his rent. This
goes to the French government. Be-
sides this there are the Charges" paid
to the landlord amounting to another
ten per cent. The charges are for
keeping the stair carpet new, for
sweeping, for scavenserins. furnace
cleaning, water rent, electric light
and municipal taxes.
The householder would therefore
pay 1906 in rent and $50 in taxes and
charges. The entire house Of ten
flats probably cost $500. 900. on which
tho landlord himself pays $500 per
year, or $50 per fat-the same sum
taken from the tenants in Charges"
Practically all Parisians live in
fats, an advantage Of having the
rooms all On n floor. Against this
plan is the fact that tho renter can
only have small quantities of coal and
f1rewood on hand. He Is forced to
buy them at small retail prices. OF
course q cellar goes with the fiat, but
a servant girl cannot be expected to
lug Goa up three flights of stairs. She
must, however, be letter-perfect in the
