Work.

being somewhat like him in that re-
spect, a mutual attraction had grown
up between them. Then came Miss
Kraft to visit the ~Stevensons, who
lived In the most pretentious house In
the place. She was Il settlement work

tally met Jennie. she became inter-
sted In her: and when the girl told
her Of the necessity for finding work,
and her desire to go to New York
to try to earn something, Miss Kraft
promised to see what she could do.
Joe had very little sympathy with
Jennie's desire for New York. She
was perhaps foolishly reticent regard
ing the real reason, not explaining as
she had to Miss Kraft. She thought
he did not care. He did not ask her
to stay. And Joe believed she wished
to got away from the little village,
himself included, to find in the great
city the chance for excitement and
the kind Of life he loathed. So It was
q misunderstanding all around. He
did not know that one word from him
would have kept her there, even
though she had scrubbed floors for a
living, and perhaps he had not yet
thought Of speaking that word.
So with the bitter memory Of his
indifference ranking in her heart,
Jennie went down to the great city.

her was that Of n saleswoman In a

Overhead Kitchen Clothes Dryer
Made by The o. X. Clothes Dryer Co, Al
West lash ST, New York, N. Y.

Whether or not a laundry is included IN the
plan Of the house. an overhead clothes dryer is
almost necessity in this uncertain Eastern
climate
If there is room set apart for Laundry
work. it would naturally be used for clothes
drying in stormy weather. In this case the
chief value of the overhead rack lies IN the fact
that it can be drawn up into the warmer air at
the ton of the room. In a kitchen which must
also be used as a laundry the special conven-
fence of this dryer is its ability to hoist the
clothes we'll out of the way, so that the ordl-
nary kitchen work may 60 on while they are
drying.
In every case where indoor drying must be
done. this dryer saves time and labor, because
the clothes 90 directly from the wringer to the
rack, from the rack to the ironing board, snd
back to the rack for airing The rack itself
consists of eight parallel rods. each sixty four
inches long, giving in all forty feet Of space
available for drying clothes. As each rod is
strong enough to hold four thicknesses, the
dryer will hold at one time clothing sufficient TO
supply family of five.
The rack needs a ceiling space of 32x64
inches, and in the ordinary kitchen the clear
head room from floor to hanging clothes is
from six and half to seven feet.
A moulded ceiling frame attaches the entire
apparatus securely to the ceiling. 1t can be
put up by any person who can handle screw
driver and a small punch. As the screws are
unusually long, have a peculiar thread and
arc set in the frame at angle with the
points toward each other, there is no need to
find the ceiling beams. The screws penetrate
behind the lath, fastening the frame to the cell
ing at seven widely separated points of attach
ment. When it is necessary to attach the rack

Automatic Egg Boiler
Made by Advance Sales Company, Waupscs,
Price, IS.


No more breakfast table grouches over eggs
little too hard or too soft in the household
that owns one of these egg boilers.
The domestic scientist of the Tribune Insti-
tute assures us that it is misnamed, because
the eggs are not boiled at all, only cooked as
eggs should be. The approved way to cook
eggs is to put them in saucepan. pour on
boiling water and then set aside for the period
needed to bring them to the desired degree Of
s0lidity The trouble comes with the cooks es-
innate of the time required to produce just the
right result. 1t takes such little to vary this
result, and then comes the indignant complaint
from the breakfast table that "thc eggs are
neUer right
The Automatic Egg Boiler does away with
this element of uncertainty. 1t can cook only
four eggs at time but these are done so
quickly and easily that other tours can follow
as rapidly as they are needed The four eggs
are put in the little boiler, which is then filed
with boiling water from the tea kettle and
placed in the sink 10 drain. The boiler has
false bottom so constructed that the water first
drains down into it and then runs out. By the
time the boiler is dry the eggs are done.

A single pull rope lowers or eleyates the
