Covering the Kitchen Table

What shall our kitchen table be?
As George AIDE says in one of hts
fables. 1t all depends" First We must
know what We want to do on that Ia BILE
because today We are separating our
processes and not using one single sur

pots. pans. and utensils as they are
taken from the stove. the toD should
preferably be z;nc. polished steel, monel

tops are heatproof and marproof, and
present ideal surfaces for hard, heat
resisting usage.
In any case, the wooden tab.e is
growing obsolete. - Wood absorbs wa

securing to keep II in good condition.
No matter how well made. cracks will

sloppy and rcprehensible a method to
even be included in the discussion. The
kitchen of the future is going to be an

AS a step toward this ideal the kitch-

his argument. A few words in Eng
hsh. few In French. and without
any hesitation the conversation was
taken up exactly where 1t had been
left Off.
THAT passion for personal ad-
vancement Is the very thing which
has laid low the civilization Of man.
Since women are born for sacrifice.
and that Is not a theory. but a
physiological fact. they will perhaps
never be caught in that lure. They
will always bear in mind that sacris
flee Is their raison d'etre. Without
that spirit of sacrifice. the purpose
OF their entrance into public affairs
will be gone.
Spirit Of Sacrifice.
The women OF America must not
become intoxicated with power. They
will perhaps for a time be tempted.
for they are not yet superwomcn
in the mass. the civilization OF man
has kept them from being so, but
perhaps they can learn the great
lesson OF the Observation-Disclosures
force without running first to an ex-
treme.
Now, in tho past, the same spirit Of
sacrifice has ruled the lives of the
women, but 1t was a sacrifice without
selves to be crucified necdlessly. and
without end. simply because there
was no system, no intelligently di-
rected purpose back Of their effort.
They submitted themselves to a
man imposed set OF conventions
which throttled and successfully cut
off every natural impulse for better
world and lay merely content to
serve In the most blind and obscure
fashion.
This was tho sacrifice without in
telligence. They did not know nor
realize that tho influence which
they were failing to WELD was the
saving grace OF the national life.
But today It Is different They
have stood aside and learned
through the bitter school Of expert
ence that their submission OF power
and the intrusting OF all to the hands
Of man has como to a sorry end. in
deed. They known that. again
speaking phystologically. they can
not attain to great heights. but they
do know that they can serve.
That Is what they will do now.
Although the average woman Is
superior to the average man. tho
super woman will ever be the aid
to the super man. She will never
be his equal. The super man. who
will rule with Intelligence. will be
aided with the rule Of woman-love."
Holding up his hand and looking
directly into my eyes, NJ. Bois con-
cluded:
There are two gods" he said in
English. "One tho god which man
follows. the god Of intelligence He
will ever move forward toward that
goal. He has nothing to stop him.
No physical demands. He can go as
far as he likes. But he must be d.
rected, he must be aided. This will
be the duty of the woman. who
worships tho god OF love. She can
not follow the god Of intelligence as
far as can the man. for she must
stop by the way. che has n double
duty to perform. She must be IN
telligent in order to restrain and
teach her love. and at the same time
stop by the way to preserve the
race. She is sacrificed. But this
