MAKING HOUSES INTO HOMES
Five Servants to Help Create the Pro-
per Atmosphere.

Man builds the house but some wo-
man makes 1t into home. This wo-
man does not make 1t into home on
her own account. Her Transformation
is effected through her feeling Of
service toward the family that she
loves and toward her friends. Such
woman realizes instinctively that a
house Is not home, no matter how
much money is spent upon its inte-
rior furnishing and decorating, unless
an atmosphere Of comfort and service
peryades 1t.
This atmosphere of comfort in the
home depends largely upon its being
kept orderly and clean. Food. has to
be prepared, meals served on time
and the house kept In order, and al
though the work incident thereto
should be shared by every member Of
the family it all too often rests on
the shoulders of one individual-the
housewife. In such a home servants
are hard to keep because Of the
thoughtless tasks imposed upon them
by careless individuals.
Electrical servants come to the aid
of the housewife in such a home. The
electric dishwasher and the electric
range are hers to command. The con-
duct of the home has been Individual
lied by these electrical servants. Each
member may do his or her share with
greater ease, for a share consists in
hardly more than touching an electric
button.
Because of the need for quick, per-
sonal service in households Of large
families the electric iron has become
the most popular electrical appliance
in the world. The women members
must have blouses undergarments,
laces and ribbons pressed on a mo-
ment's notice and the men Of the fam
lily likewise appreciate pressing iron
as a contributor to their personal ap-
pearance.
The electric suction cleaner stands
next on the list in popular appeal to
the home keeper. It's ease Of opera
ton and its absolute efficiency as a
dirt dust and germ extinguisher upon
floors, walls, furnishings and hang
ings has stamped it as the best meth
cd Of house cleaning in the world.
The electric laundry stands third
on the homemaker's list Of favored
household utilities. Labor, time and
health are saved by it's installation |
and the saving in money is another |
great inducement. This saving has |
been proved by comparing the house
keeping budgets in different house
lolds-the one type paying out drain
paying only the absurdly small cost
If electric current for about three
hours a week, which is the time re-
luired to do an average family wash.
Many housewives, especially those
Who entertain considerably consider
he electric dish-washer the most de-
irable servant Of all the electric ap-
'liances. 1t is without doubt most
atisfying to be relieved of the dis
greeable task Of washing dishes
hree times day in year or to face
he alternative Of having such dishes {
tackled in the kitchen waiting greasi-
Y until someone can summon the {
ourage to tackle them. L
There is nothing SO pleasant"
yrites an author of note than a
rettily served plate Of wholesome
pod. and there is nothing exactly so t
npleasant as that same plate emp
led Of all but its refuse" {
Stacks Of such unpleasant china are Z
OF conducive to fine thoughts. But
ne electric dishwasher has stepped I
l to alleviate the woe of the hospita- t
lie housewife. What greater help t
