Seized Their Opportunities.

At the beginning Of the great war,
Christiania tried to husband her man
power by employing women as street
car conductors. Some objections were
raised at first, but In time the travel
Ing public took a real liking to the
conductorette on the ground that she
was more civil than a mere man.
Though there has been no official or
der to reinstate men, 1t Is noticeable
that the women conductors have grad
ually disappeared. Asked what had
become Of them, the chief Of transit
in the Norwegian capital replied that
as they had constant opportunity to
meet men, Sc, many Of them had mar
ried that the rest had just naturally
resigned.-New Yc~k E~"ning POst.

Conducted by Women. ii
Attracts Buyers from Fa-
nous Shops in London
and Paris = Started by
Artists Ten Years Ago

Christmas week in London
concludes one of the most in
teresting markets and fairs in
the world. 1t is conducted by
busy Englishwoinen who are
compelled to earn their own
living and who meet once a year to
dispose Of articles produced during the
preceding months Many OF them are
highly educated young genfiewomen.
So successful have they been in a
.business way that famous shops in
London and Paris always send their
buyers TO gather w the novelties be
foro the general public gets a chance
at them.
This scheme for getting tho work OF
irolatcd craftsmen known, and of Civ.
ing them an opportunity to sell their
wsreE. was originated about ten year,
hgo by a little grou OF women artists.
They find the location. pay for ad-
re- fisement and catalogue. and run

given every afternoon: an admission
OF 20 cents is charged. They are a
regular incorporated company and
every year they turn away about rs

Kitchen Holds
Leading Place
In Household
Its Four Walls Encompasses the
Factory of the Home-Light
and Arrangement are Impor-
tant Factors in the Kitchen

Next to tho bedroom. the kitchen Is
the most important room in the house.
Within its four walls is encon,passed
the factory OF the house. It Is here
that the housewife carries on, either
to the detriment or for the benefit of
her family. Much depends upon the
equipment and the arrangement Of the
room. [
One factor often neglected even In
the most up-to-date kitchens is the
matter OF light. Frequently tho kiteh-
en- is lighted by a single globe sus-
pended from the center of the ceiling.
II the kitchen is tolerably large the
housewife must often grope in the
dark for things in the cupboard or
pantry. and It is difficult to wash
dishes In the half light. Many times,
too. there is but one small window. A
good plan is to rave wall sockets above
the sink in the pantry and near the
stove, instead OF the single drop light.
Finishing the kitchen walls in a light
mad OF paint or Of washable wall
lapers increases the light to a great
iegree.
The kitchen should be arranged In
such a that the work can be
routed" to save countless
AIRY steps. During the preparation OF
the meal the work is confined almost
wholly to the kitchen. From refrig-
orator. to table to sink to stove Is
he usual order of procedure. Then
comes the dining room work from
pantry to table. Equipment should
me so arranged that the routes do
not cross and thus cause waste OF
iine and energy.
In the more modern homes. the
kitchen is situated well toward the
ron of the house, and many buiitin
features that economic on space are
considered essential. Even IL meals
are sometimes eaten in the kitchen, it
Is not in the least necessary that
the room be largo. A convenient lit
tie alcove just large enough to ac-
commodate the table and serving tray,
is q great labor saving evice that
meets with h approval OF the most
particular.

the Influence exercised here by the

There is no doubt at all that the

THE KIDDIES KORNER
Louisa May Alcott

Many years ago., maybe two hun
dred. there lived a little boy who was
very brave. He was a little Dutch
boy and made his home in the coun-
try across the sea called Netherlands
or Holland. His name was Peter.
In Holland. most all of the houses
and torres and farms are built above
swamps near the sec. and it is neces-
sary to build huge dykes to keep the
sea from flooding the land and drown
ing h people. All the Dutch chill
dren are very patriotic and love their
country with all their hearts.
Emall Peter had been told about
the bikes and h danger to his coun-
try if the sea should chance to wear
away the foundation of a dixie and
come seeping into the land. One day
as lie was hssrying along to do some
errand that his mother had SEM him
to do he noticed a tiny trickle of wa
ter coming in through a wee crack in
the dixie. His first thought was for
his country. He put his hand over
the crack and stopped 1t up Sc that
the water could not come in.
The sea is powerful and it hoes not
