The Servantless House
By Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The DISTINGUISHED Authorfy ON Household Efficiency.

THE recent increase in rents,
owing to scarcity of dwell
ings, has aroused serious in
terest in building plans. During
the war nearly all building was
stopped, but now more families
than ever are demanding the oppor-
tunity to build and own their homes.
Passing through New York
street the other day the author saw
a last forlorn house between two
stores. 1t was of red brick and
four stories high, with wide yer.
anda, many bay windows and high
ceilings, Of the type Familiarity rec
ognized as a mansion This
house is good example of how
not to build to-day. The conditions
which made this house so desirable
forty years ago have totally
changed, for we are now facing the
era of the servantless house.
In building we must think not
only Of the cost OF producing the
house, but of the cost of upkeep.
1t is not so much what the house
costs as the amount of money it
takes to heat it, to NOV its lawn,
to clean its floors, wash its windows
and serve its meals. The most eco
nominal house is the one which re-
dnces the need of servants to a
minimum. For, however we may
try, we cannot refute the fact that
only the very rich to-day can afford
servants. Plain Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. Brown will either have to do
their own work or rely on occa-
sional day labor.
1t is fortunate that women are
coming into the architectural field,
for surely women who live in a
home 80 per cent of the time must
know its work problems more than
the man, who is home only at
breakfast and dinner. AS l have
often laughingly said, no architect
who ever planned kitchen would
ever wash dishes in it himself for

strike! The reason our kitchens
and other parts Of the house have
been so inconvenient heretofore Is
because they have been built by
men who drew them on paper, buc
never worked in them IL daiiv lifa.
The efficiency experts tell US
that good work must be routed"
This means that we must pass from
one step to ancth with the least
possible waste motion and effort.
Whole factories are now built go
that raw material entering at one
end goes straight through. coming
out finished product at the other.
But take the average kitchen and

It Is impossible In so short an

the servantless house of the future
must be built along the following
lines:

Beautiful Arme
By Lima Caualier,
The Most Famous Living Besuf,

A RMS are woman's first aid to
~ grace and loneliness. A
beautiful woman with her
arms raised above her head in a
charming, graceful poise seems to
me to look forth from them as from
. wreath of lilies.
For the culture Of these lilies
there must be care and thoughtful.
ness. Do not wear your sleeves too
tight, for that will pinch, fiatten and
redden them.
The best way to develop them II
they are thin is by daily exercise
and by massage with plumpeninx
oils and creams.
reduce them also by the right
exercise or massage. Keep them
white and smooth by the use Of
pure creams, pure soaps and pure
powders. Do not let them get dis
colored by the dark Innings of your
gowns. use white Innings in all
my robes.
Be sure that every movement of
the arms is a picture, and beauti-
ful one. 1t is not necessary to
make awkward motions with the
arms. If you are not already en-
lowed with grace, it is easy enough
to acquire it.
For instance, there Is the pose in
which the elbow is bent, the fingers
lie loosely against the neck and the
thumb hangs in loose and careless
fashion. This seems an involun-
tary movement, yet it loosens, 'lim-
bers,' as have heard some one
say, the tight and awkward muscles.
The same purpose is served by
standing with both arms above the
head, the elbows slightly bent, the
arms gently curved and the fingers
hanging loosely apart. All these
things teach a mastery of the arms,
which are sometimes awkward and
rebellious in their movements.
A movement which teaches aban.
donment of the arms is that of turn
ing the arm outward, the cupped
hand resting on the head, the palm
outward
One of the most graceful poses
and one most productive Of grace of
the arms is extending the arms rip
pingly in front of the body, the
hands slightly raised above the
shoulders, the fingers close together,

yet relaxed. This exercise might
be called playing river with the
arms"
Another movement for making
the arms plant Is to bend the ell
bow. and, bending the head, rest 1t
on the hand.
For relaxing and resting the arms
raise them to level with the
shoulders and let them drop as
though they were heavy weights to
the side.
Clasp or hook the fingers Of one
hand in those of the other, one hand
being palm downward and the other
palm upward. Raise the elbows
shoulder high and move to the left.
dragging the other and resisting
arm as far as it can be drawn. Re.
verse this movement. Shortly you
will notice the muscles of the upper
arm growing larger and firmer.
The thin girl should apply olive
oil or lanolin to plumpen her arms,
patting the remedy softly into the
skin every day.
If the arms are too fat have some
one else massage them by wiring
ing. twisting movement and BY q
quick swinging Of the arms back
and forth.
Some arms lose much OF their
rightful loneliness by having skin
of coarse and unattractive texture.
The use of the flesh brush, prefer.
ably long-handled one, in the daily
bath, should remove this trouble by
opening the closed pores, whose
closing makes the skin so rough.
After a vigorous rubbing with the
flesh brush a softening wash or
unguent should be applied. Here
is one that will be found most ex-
cellent for softening and whitening
the skin Of the arms: Bran. one
ounce; enough benzoin to moisten
1t and the juice Of one lemon.
There are some women who pre-
fer this because they think it pos
sesses greater bleaching properties
than the other: Lemon juice, one
ounce; glycerine, one ounce; rose
water, one ounce.
Rough, red arms that present a
grimy appearance should be washed
every night before retiring with
warm water and good CASTLE soap.
Dry thoroughly with a rough towel
and apply a soothing lotion made up
of equal parts of glycerine and
rosewater, or, if you wish, rub in 3
little cold cream.

~ course there are many ex-
tremely attractive place
cards that you can buy-but
to my mind 1t is vastly more inter-
esting and more original to make
ones own place cards. And there
is such a wealth of material to
choose from, says Alice Burrell,
author of "The Party Complete,
that one does not have to be espe-
cially clever to make really charm
ing place cards.
In looking through the magazines
you will find dozens of little figures
that you can either trace or copy.
You can easily fill them in with
water colors. II you find it diff
cult to draw the sketch on the
place card make a cardboard pat
tern and trace the edge.
For a New Years party paste
little pictures of the baby New Year
on the cards, with wish for the
New Year and the name of a guest
on each card. Try to have each
card different.
II you are giving a Valentine
party hearts cut out of red blotting
paper would be bright spots of color
on the snowy tablecloth. The names
could be written in gilt. For party
on Washington's Birthday decorate
your place cards with sprays of
cherry blossoms instead of the usual
fruit of the cherry tree or the in
evitable Ratchet.
March calls for emerald green,
Of course. Place cards cut from
green paper in the form of harps
or pipes or four-leaf clovers are at
tractive and easily made.
Easter usually comes in April,
and so little fluffy chicks are appro-
pirate on place cards for Easter par
ties. At one of my own Easter
parties the place cards" We're hard
boiled eggs tinted with all the
colors of the rainbow and the names
were written in white ink.
For a party in May make tiny
May poles of matches bound with
ribbons. Let the pole" stand in
the middle of each card. Draw the
ribbons through Sits in the card
near the edges and paste each end
firmly.
Wild roses make exquisite deco
rations for June place cards. Gather
the roses a few days before the
party. Press them and paste them
on the cards.
For July red, white and blue are
the appropriate colors. of course.
One charming table that / remem-
Der had stripes of wide red and blue
crepe paper laid diagonally across
the top. The white tablecloth took
the place of white crepe paper. Tiny
flags are always effective decora-
lions on July place cards. One

her guests signed Declaration Of

How to Make Place Cards

suggest the idea of vacations. Carao
cut in the shape of trunks, hand
bags and suitcases would be unique
and attractive. You might get
some toy suitcases, fill them with
candy and attach tiny card to the
handle of each one. These would
be especially suitable as place cards
at travel party.
September, bringing with Il Labor
Day, offers a splendid opportunity
Tor originality. Have each place
card suggest the hobby of the one
for whom it is intended. There
Will be a toy automobile for the en-
thusiastic motorist. rake for the
amateur gardener, a diminutive
camera for the snapshot" fienL.
etc
You Will not need single sugges-
ton for Halloween place cards
but here is an idea that you may
care to carry out. At the top of the
card have a picture of a witch rid
ing a broom and below: "Old
Mother Witch says. Before
takes this place he Cor she) must
walk three times around the table
with her eyes shut. Woe be il she
laughs. The witches's curse will
he upon her." You can imagine
how much fun there is in q room
where every guest is trying sol
EMMY to perform some foolish rite
to propitiate the witches.
For November place cards I like
quaint little pictures of Puritan life.

obliging old turkey. Last Thanks

BILE arranged to represent barn
yard. A shallow oblong tray filled
with gravel was enclosed by min

escaped and stood at each plate

Pasteurized Grape Juice.

GRAPE juice is satisfactorily
~ pasteurized without appreci-
able change of flavor when 1t is
heated to a temperature varying
from 165 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit.
II the temperature is allowed to
reach 200 degrees the favor of the
juice is changed for the worse. For
home use there are a large number
OF varieties of grapes which will
make a pleasant and healthful
drink. No matter what kind Of
grape, however, only clean, sound
fruit should be used, and it should
be we'll ripened, but not overripe.
The grapes should first be crushed
and pressed. The subsequent pro-
cedure depends upon whether
white or a red juice is desired. For
light-colored juice the crushed
grapes are put In cloth sack and
twisted until the greater part OF
the juice is extracted, one person
holding each end of the sack. The
juice is then put in some conven-
lent form OF double boiler in which
1t does not come in direct contact
with the fire, but is surrounded by
hot water and gradually heated to a
temperature close to 200 degrees
Fahrenheit. AS has already been
said, however, it should not be al
lowed to go over this point. II no
Thermometer is available, it is best
to heat the juice until it steams and
then remove 1t before it is allowed
to boil. 1t should then be poured
into a glass or enamelled vessel
and allowed to settle for "a hours,
after which 1t is drained from the
sediment and run through some
form Of cloth filter. The strained
juice is then put into clean bottles
and sterilized once more in a warm
bath. An ordinary wash-boiler with

Don't get shocked. Many women

they are not. They do not go about
1t in the right way. These unpleas-

presence of dust and other foreign
