TO CUT OUT DRUDGERY
SIMPlIFIED HOUSEKEEPING WILL
TIGHTEN THE WORK.
Solution Of Domestic Service Problem
Lies in Retrenching Requirements
to the Limit Of Our SIM
pIest Needs.

We all OF us know that the solution
to the great domestic service problem
lies through the straight road Of sim
plifiCation. When We retrench our
requirements according to the limit OF
our simplest needs We shall begin TO
see a solution 70 much that perplexes
US in the present aspect OF things.
Abolish the dozen superhuous dishes
and depend upon the essential one,
and one point Of domestic service is
lightened so per cent. 1t is a half
days work to wash the dishes after a
pretentious modern dinner. Too many
courses, too many fancy pieces, too
much style has made of what should
be an off-hand "Chore," an ordeal Of
skilled labor. Dinners used to taste
better in the old days when every
thing was served in one course and
there were no dainty bread and but
ter bric-a-brac, bone plates and indl-
vidual pieces for everything served,
than il does now when too much style
hampers the fun and craZes the serv-
ing maid. Throw out the non-essen-
tials everywhere and retain only es-
sentials. Tighten the work and make
household duties what they ought TO
be, an easy task rather than an I'M
ending drudgery.
/ do not mean to be understood
even as saying that pretty things are
non-essential. The more attractive
one makes life the easier it runs, but
prettiness and preteusion are two diff
ferent things. | csn make my table
as pretty with a bunch of lockwood
and pinks in a 50-cent vase, or a
plume Of ferns in a bowl, as my neigh
Dor can with jack roses at S. or more
! a dozen in a cut-glass vase, the cost
of which would keep two little hun
cry proteges of mine in bread for a
month. / can serve as palatable a
company lunch of creamy biscuits and
honey and foamy milk, with a bit of
fruit and a toss-up feathery cake or
cream and have fewer dishes for the
maid to wash and fewer bills for my.
self to pay, than the harrassed hostess
does who employs a caterer and uses
a dozen plates and spoons and glasses
where one-quarter the number would
suffice.
What rich woman is going to start
this business of simplifying? 1t needs
some one with wealth and prominent
social standing to pioneer the good
work. Somebody told me not long
ago of wealthy leader in society
who kept up a distinct establishment
for her servants. She gave them a
parlor, a piano and library. There
is good place to begin to simplify
Go back to the old-fashioned methods
of servant hire and give some of the
rest of us who have to work hard to
keep a 'parlor' and a piano for our
selves a chance to keep help. Sim
plify all along the line, from the
kitchen to the great chamber, and
usher in a new day.
