keeping or tending babies for the ad-
vanced women. This Is the hope
held out to women by one Of New
York's fairer sex who lectured re-
Gently on the Larger Feminism" be
fore more than one hundred women
who were anxious to hear about 'sThe
Home, Past, Present and Future"
The lecturer painted word picture
showing that nothing is so dreary and
commonplace as household drudgery.
She offered a few suggestions con-
cerning the best way to bring about
domestic reform. She amitted that
women had made failure in the art
Of housekeeping and in solving the
servant problem. The purchasing Of
supplies, she said, would in future
homes be done by highly trained and
high salaried experts. The following
are few predictions Of what will
happen when 'wife's paradise has no
Kitchen I'VE will buy our food
cooked instead of raw. Then we shall
have expert and swirt cleaners, hired
by the hour, who will arrange our
houses every day. This will give the
housewife time for many things be
sides trying to keep the home clean
with string Of babies tagging after
her" "Do you mean we shall buy
our supplies at a delicatessen? que
ried an anxious housewife and mother
"The average man objects to that
sort Of food Il am perfectly aware" :"
replied the lecturer, "that the major
ity Of men cling to the idea Of having
private cook They thinkythat's a
much better way to live, and it hurts
their feelings to be asked to make a
change. But when they have a gene
ration Of good digestion they VIII new
er want to go back to wife's cooking
again And the children of the next
generation who are brought up in the
future way will get on perfectly and
like it because they wont know any
thing different"
Cemetery for Animals
New York now has cemetery for
dogs and cats where each tombstone
has an original epitaph. Kanis Ruhe
Animal Rest is the translation-is
really what it's name implies, a resting
place for dogs and horses and pus-
sizes when their earthly cares are over.
Kanis Ruhe is one of the largest anil
NAL cemeteries in the country. 1t is
situated in Westchester county 40
miles from New York. Thousands Of
animals are buried there. Hardly a
day goes by that an animal hearse
conveying a coffin and attended by a
train Of mourners in carriages does
not wind up the hill to the white wall
ed enclosure. Behind this wall are
no less than two thousand tombstones
that mark the graves of the pet cats
and dogs Of the men and women Of
New York. There are tall granite
spires with long inscriptions. There
are marble pinnacIes, and headstones
with pictures Of animals chiseled upon
them. And each one tells story Of
dumb devotion by mute friend that
has not been forgotten since death
closed the faithful eyes. Kanis RuheH
is run in connection with one Of New
York's dog and cat hospitals. It Isl
with complete set Of mi
mature hearses, with an embalming
and caslxet manufacturing plant, a.
tombstone works and with supply Of
carriages for mourners. The burial
ground covers several acres Of high,
gravelIy ground. The first year til
opened ITS men and women from New
York followed the bodies Of their pets
up the hill and saw them lowered
into the little graves.
