ELECTRICITY IS BIG
FACTOR in EQUIPMENT
OF MODERN HOSTELRIES

Hotel service would be vastly diff
ferent from what it is without cleo
tricity. 1t is this mysterious power
| which operates the elevators, runs the
ice and refrigeration machines, drives
the fans and ventilators, grinds the
food stuffs, peels the vegetables,
sweeps and dusts and does nearly all
the other hard tasks about a. modern
hotel. In addition to this electricity
operates the telephones, the call bells
and buzzers, the fire alarm signals and
systems Of all kinds. 1t is even used
to cook the food, to heat water, and
to heat the rooms.
One large New York hotel is
equipped with 1900 small motors
which are used throughout the build
ing to do the hardest work, formerly
done by servants. This number is ex-
elusive of the 1000 small motors
used to drive ceiling, desk and bracket
fans. The coal and ashes are con-
veyed by electricity; it pumps the wa
ter, drives a complete machine and
repair shop, and the motor power is
extensively used in the kitchen for
peeling vegetables, chopping meat. for
vegetable MASKING, for soup straining
and mixing, for turning roasting splits,
for dough mixing, for ice cream freez-
Ing, for crumbing bread, for grinding

| dish washing. Motors also operate
the machinery. in the laundry, and
convey the food from kitchen to serv-
ing rooms. Even the heating sys-
tenn is operated by motors which cir
culate the warmed air to all parts of
the building.
The main use of electricity in ho-
tells is for illumination. In addition
to the regulation lamps every hotel
maintains an elaborate system of
decorative lighting. Miles and miles
of insulated wires are concealed with
in the walls and partitions of large
hotel to carry the electric current to
every room where it Is ready to give
light at the snap of switch.
Electricity is also being extensively
used for heating and cooking in no.
/ tells. A few hotels and large restau-
rants are now equipped with complete
| electric kitchens where all the cook
| ing is done by electricity. A large
! number of heating and cooking de-
vices, such as electric coasters. perco-
lators, grills, etc., are extensively used
| in most hotel kitchens as auxiliaries
to the gas and coal ranges. ":

THE fad of the hour is the straight
l hanging ample veil, ripping about
the lower edge and just as full as it
well can be made. 1t is of dotted or
figured net and usually it is in black,
although a warm gray or mode or
dark fawn color is liked immense
ly. The latter are often finished
with a lace pattern about the lower
edge, which does not interfere at all
with their being bound.
The usual binding is a narrow fold
of black satin. A recent arrival is
the black veil with binding of white
satin. A few varieties are bordered
with ribbon an inch wide, but the
great majority of all the wells are cut
circular, hang to a point a little below
the shoulders, and are bound with a
narrow fold of black satin.
An extreme Of the mode Is made OF
a square Of black filet net having
small solid squares scattered over its
surface. The net is a yard wide. A
circular piece is cut out from the cen
ter and. the opening is hemmed in a
narrow hem into which a round elastic
cord is run. The edges are bound
with a narrow fold of white satin. The
veil is adjusted to the hat by the elias
tic cord and hangs full, and in points
to waist line.

In recalling this startling moment
Deborah wondered as much at her own
aplomb as at that Of Judge Ostran-
der, Not only had she succeeded in
%suppressing all recognition of what
had thus been discovered to her. but
had carried her powers of self-repres-
sion so far as to offer, and with good
grace, too, to assist him in rehanging
the picture. This perfection of act
ing had its full reward. With equal
composure he excused her from the
task. and, adding some expression of
regret at his well.known carelessness
in not looking better after his effects,
bowed her from the room with only a
slight increase of his usual courteous
reserve.
But later, when thought came and
with it certain recollections, what sig
n~ificance the incident acquired in her
mind, and what a long line of terrors
it brought in its train!
1t was no casual act, this defacing
of a sons well-loved features. 1t had
a meaning dark and desperate
meaning. 1t had played its heavy part
in his long torment-a calling remind
er of-what?
1t was to answer this question-to
face this new view of Oliver and the
bearing it had on the relations she
had hoped to establish between him
and Reuther, that she had waited for
the house to be silent and her child
asleep.
Unhappy mother, just as she saw
something like a prospect of releasing
her long-dead husband from the odium
Of an unjust sentence, to be shaken
by this new doubt as to the story and
character of the man for whose union
with her beloved child she was SO
a%nxiously struggling!
There was a room on this upper
floor into which neither she nor Reu
Their had even stepped. She had
once looked in, but that was all. To
night-because she could not sleep;
because she must not think-she was
resolved to enter it. divers room!

HUMAN LIFE AT TEN DOLLARS
That Chinese Hold Existence Cheap
Is Proved by Experience of Trav-
eIer in That Country.

There are 100,00O,000 children in
China under ten years of age. One
wonders how there are SO many re-
naming, for multitudes of children die
off through exposure, i'll care, starva-
tion and disease. Hundreds of thou
sands of these children live in the
Chinese sampans, which ply the rivers
and throng the water fronts of the
great cities. For generations these
boatmen knew no other home than
these boats. In cast Of babies, a rope
it attached under their arms and If
they slip over the side of the sampan
into the water they are fished out the
best way possible.
But life is plenty and cheap in
China. How much then is a man
better than a Sheep" Not much bet
ter in China. A friend of mine, a
Brooklyn judge. who arrived late at
the daily public execution in Canton,
and who could only stay for the day,
was told that for $40 they would Sc
cure a special victim to satisfy the
Americans curiosity. And they pro.
ceeded to find a man who for the sake
of his family was willing to barter his
life for $40. OF course, he got the $40
and his life.-Christian Herald.

WHY CHILDREN SEEK GIFTS
As Instructive for Them to Ask as
II lie, or Should Be, for the
Adult to Give.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Charles e. jefferson, pastor Of Broad
way tabernacle In New York city,
writes a talk entitled THE Joy of Re-
ceiving," in the course of which he
explains why little children enjoy re-
ceiving more than giving. He says In
part:
"In little children, the Joy Of receiv-
ing outruns the Joy of giving. Chill
dren are born beggars. They come
into the world empty-handed. and they
stretch their hand to those who are
nearest them, expecting to receive.
It Is instructive for q child to ask. and
1t is instructive for an adult TO re-
spond. This child's mind Is 40 empty

is a good illustration of the axiom
that rich materials look best when
simply made up, for it is unusual and
impressive. But the ! .odel is not suit
ed to commonplace materials.
Another development in an entirely
different material is equally effective.
This is demonstrated in a gown made
of twine-colored net, the overgarment
showing the net laid in side pla1ts a
half inch deep. But in this gown a silk
cord partly defines the waist line,
which it ~encircles at the belt, falling
below it at the front and fastening in
a knot at nj side like a Greek girdle.
The underskirt is of plain net over a
foundation of satin in the same color.
Although there is no flare in the
skirt or upper garment, they are both
roomy. It is the lack Of definition of
the figure that adapts the velvet model
to the stout figure. But in the dress
made of net the plating Of the. ma
terial and the addition Of the girdle
produce a gown which is ideal for a
: slender figure.

NOT AN ECONOMICAL PEOPLE
Americans Do Not Seem to Attach
Very Great Importance to Saw

OF all the nations the United States
seems to care least for saving pennies.
Not the government, but the individ'

ings bank depositors in proportion
to the entire population, this country
is far behind those OF Europe, Japan,
Australia and New Zealand.
One reason for this is that in the

When Women MADE Laws.

At a recent banquet Of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians in Mobile, Ala, Mrs.
E. Henry Ruffin said that equal suf-
frage was an ancient right given to
the women of Ireland, who had full
suffrage in the time of st. Patrick. At
each meeting of parliament it was left
to the women to decide upon the laws
affecting the life of the family, and
some of these laws are our inheritance
today, she says. Under the direction
of st. Bridget and a thousand nuns
the ancient Brehen laws of Ireland
were gathered together, amended and
codiffed.
