EXIT BRIDGET.

A true tale of how one family
has set aside housekeeping traditions
and devised a new domestic schedule
that makes house-work a thing of JOY
an dissatisfaction.
Some time ago I secured the city
in whcih I lived for a maid-of-all-
work to do the house work for our
little family of three adults. The
house is modern and rather small
six rooms, hall, bath, laundry and
cellar-yet I could not procure girl
who would do the work, including
the washing and ironing for less
than seven dollars week and board.
Those we interviewed expressed
themselves as willing to wash dishes,
clean and cook a bit if necessary,
but they were all unalterably oppos-
ed to the idea of doing the washing
and ironing, Because we didn't rel
ish the idea Of having the lady-of-
theIhouse down in the launlry wrest-
ling with the weekly wash while the
hired girl, perhaps. would be jaunt-
ing through the park in the family
flivver, we decided then and there to
do without help-permanent and
transient-and to keep the house.
hold wheels turning to rely on such
labor-saving devices as we could af-
ford.
We analysed the proposition and
decided that there were at least four
Major household operations which
could be better and more economi-
cally accomplished by mechanical
agent than by human labor-our own
or that of hired help. These we felt
to be washing clothes, ironing, wash
ing wishes and cleaning.
So we invested in the necessary
electric washer and dish washer E
the sweeper and iron we had already
used for some years. And for the
last year and half we have not
spent one single penny on extra help
in the household with the exception
OF the colored man who comes to
take the ashes out of the furnace in
the winter. Even II you consider
this whole question Of Electric lab
or-saving devices in the home as
nothing more or less than a matter
of economy, you have your answer
right there. II you charge deprecia-
ton and interest on the money in
vested in the appliances, as we'll as
the cost Of operation against the
amount we would have invested in
extra service to get the work done,
the account would still show a siza-
BILE balance in favor Of the electric
way.
Readjusting Familiar Housekeeping
o, Ways.
But tho big advantages to as are
that with our electric equipment the
household runs smoothly and semi
automatically; we do not harbor a
stranger permanently or periodically
in our midst, and neither are we tied
down to an inhexible system Of wash
days, ironing days or cleaning days.
Housekeepers Of the good old fash
iened type may rise up in holy hor-
rsr T. bear that We do our washing
Naad ironing on Tuesday instead Of
Monday, if Monday happens to be
the day that Schumann-Heink or Me-
Connaek are at the Academy of Nus
ie. And they will most certainly feel
inclined to brand N 40 slovenly

dishes only once a day.
Now equipment breeds new meth
eds We were very much astonished
IN fnd that tho old housekeeping
vays wore cumbersome and incon-
venient In the electrically equipped
home.
So We had to formulate for our
seivas what amounts to practically q

BROOKLYN WOMEN
LAWYERS DISCUSS
WOMEN ON JUR|ES
Some Think Bill Before LegiS-
lature Should Let Only
Married Ones Qualify.

Whether the single or the married
woman, the mother or the childless
woman, is better fitted to sit on a
jury was the main topic Of discussion
at the conference called by the
Brooklyn Women's Bar Association
yesterday at No. 6i West 4sth Street
to consider the bill to be introduced
in the state Legislature qualifying
women to be jurors.
Representatives Of many organiza-
tions were present. They unanimous
ly indorsed II resolution presented by
Miss Amy Wren. President OF the as
ISOLATION, that women should be
jurors. But divergence Of opinion
was caused By two points: The re-
strictions that matrimony might i'm
pose on judgment and just how far
her alteration OF her own children
might blind a mother to the flaws in
some other woman's offspring.
The unmarried women were solid
for the unmiXed justice TO be looked
FOR in the unattached. Those who had
husbands Haunted them as an asset
in the development of righteous judg-
ment.
Miss Sadie American OF the Jewish
Women Council dwclt on the need
of women on juries. Mrs. Ellen Kirke
Downs said firmly that it would be
impossible for any woman who had
never been married to Judge the cases

Miss American openly expressed her
disbelief in that theory.

GETS SEPARATION
FROM PASTOR ON
CRUELTY CHARGE
Court Cuts Short Hearing in
Suit of Mrs. Hall Against
Her Preacher Husband.

Justice Faber in the Supreme
Court at Long Island city to-day
granted a separation to Mrs. Anna
A. Hall from the Rev. Eugene z.
Hall, pastor OF the Claremont Park
Congregational Church OF the Bronx
and formerly an assistant pastor at
the Bcechcr Memorial Church in
Brooklyn.
The Rev Mr.. Hail also had asked
for a separation and the case had
been on trial for two days. At the
time set for the resumption Of testi-
mony this morning Justice Fabcr
called the attorneys OF both sides
into his chambers for n conference.
He told them that for the sake of
Mr.. Hall and his reputation and
standing in the ministry. and also for
the sake OF his children" there
should be no further taking OF testi-
mony and that a compromise ought
TO be reached before any additional
airing was given TO the charges and
counter charges OF the minister and
his wife.
The conference lasted for two
hours, after which Abraham Levitt,
attorney for Mrs. Hail. had the fol-
lowing statement entered ON the
court record: "As the result OF a con-
ference OF the court and the parties to
the action. IL has been decided that
Mrs. Halls application for a sep
aration shall be granted. as II sp-
pears there must be separation, as
both parties insist upon it, The court
will determine the custody OF tho
children and the amount OF alimony
TO be paid"
The termination Of the case dis
appointed n large crowd in the court,
made up mostly of members OF con-
gregations which Hall has served.
who had expected to testify. They
appeared TO be about evenly divided
in their allegiance to the minister
and his wife.
Mrs. Hall had accused her husband
OF cruelty and other offenses, and n
had accused her OF cruelty
and OF being too familiar with
church deacon and other men.
The couple were married nine years
ego and have two children, Herbert.
eight years old, and Harold, six. They
separated last July. Mr.. Hail IN liv.
ing at No. $50 Ondordonk Avenue,
Ridgewood, which Is part OF property
he inherited that is said TO yield him
a large income, and Mrs. Hail is Iiv-
ing with the children at No. 25ss
Cooper Avenue, Ridgewood. The
court ordered her to bring ,the chill
dren to court next Monday, when the
question OF their custody will be set
tied.
Al the direction OF the Court a let
ter written by Hall TO his wife last
september was put on record. The
letter read in part:
"Anna-You have done every
