Dishwashing
Is there any part of housework so
distasteful as washing dishes? And
/ the task occurs so often —three times a
day and extra dishes on Sundays and
holidays—just when one would really
like to be free.
Every piece is handled and rehnndled
until we know the designs on them all,
as we learn to remember the patterns
ori our wallpaper after we have been
ill a time and have had nothing to do
but to stare at the wreaths of roses
or impossible lines running the wrong
waw
Some dishes and utensils are made
so badly, too, that we lose patienee
over their seams, cracks and catved
devices that seem to have no possible
use but to get soiled.
For dishes must be clean and these
tedious corners and rough edges are
the places that need most attention.
Kut there is no need tn dwell on the
disagreeable features of the task, the
question is, do machine washers do
th? work better than our hand power?
The machine eliminates the use of
the dish cloths, the greasy dishwater
and the repeated handling of the dishes.
The process of washing dishes in a
dishwasher is that after the dishes are
cleaned from clinging food particles
they are put in the machine, either 011
wire travs, or in racks, according to
the kind of machine you have. The
platters, bowls and plates in the bot
tom, cups, small dishes and glasses
above. There is a place for every dish
and when they are all in, hot, very hot,
soapy water is poured over them. This
water is hotter than you would think
of using if you washed dishes with
your hands. The machine is now closed
and the hot water is dashed over the*
contents through the means of a lever

that vou operate. If you have a motor,
electricity can be used for the washing
power. In three minutes the dishes are
washed and you draw off the soapy
water and pour on scalding, rinsing
water and when this is drained off the
dishes dry themselves by the heat they
contain from the hot water. The writer
has three dish washing machines, each
of separate manufacture, and they all
' do better work than can be done by
: lukewarm water and a dish cloth. The
I dishes do need to be looked over when
the first water is drawn off and the
J glasses do need a final polishing, but
I this is nothing compared to handling
each piece separately.
The machines can be purchased at
any housefurnishing store and cost
from eight to twenty-five dollars.
They last a life' time and are a good
j investment, if you do your own work.
' Hired help will seldom use them.

HER IDEALS CHANGED
She Saw a Very Large Light After She
Was Happily Mdrried
There was a girl who was quite sure
! that when it came her turn to marry
she could not live in a house any small
er than her father's "Love in a cot
, tage" was not her idea. Cupid, she
I thought, needed plenty of room to flap
his wings and to practice his archery;
he could not pine in a birdcage. So she
must have an immense library with a
j fireplace that would take a six-foot
, log; there must be a drawing room with
flooring and thick rugs slid
i ing about on it; the dining room must
I be able to hold a large table with an
imposing bowl of flowers. She
j ualized herself ruling a salon, hostess
i to a brilliant coterie of people who
would help her social ambition and her
husband's business.
A school friend of hers came to see
her a year and a half after she had
married and found her In a little frame
house 011 a sidestreet, ridiculously hap
py wiMi her husband and her baby.
The back yard was just about big
enough to hold a whirling clothes frame
and a narrow flower bed against the
j fence; the piazza was as snug as a
sailor's hammock; the largest room was
about the size of the vestibule of the
bride's girlhood home.
"I know what you're thinking,"
laughed the proud little housekeeper to
her guest. "You're wondering how I
could make up my mind to live in this
j tiny piano box. I've found that it
isn't the size of the house fihat matters;
it '* the size of the heart, and the big
gest hearts can live in the littlest
houses.'' —Philadelphia Ledger.

Suddenly a quick flash of jealous}
startled through her.

"No. Peg, 1 will not.''
He bent down and kissed her hand
reverently.
At the same moment the sonnd of a
high power automobile was heard ID
the near distance.
"Take care:" cried Jerry. "Go In.
Some on© Is coming."
Peg hurried lu and hid Just Inside
the windows and heard every word
that followed.
As Peg disappeared Jerry walked
down the path to meet the visitor. He
rame face to face with Christian
Brent
"Hello, Brent." he said in surprise.
"Why, what In the world"— cried
that astonished gentleman.
"The house Is asleep." said Jerry ex
planatorily.
"So 1 see." and Brent glanced up at
the darkened windows. Jerry re
marked:
"Just coming from the dance? I
flldn't see you there."
"No," replied the uncomfortable
Brent. "I was restless and just stroll
ed here."
"Oh! Let 119 go on to the road."
"Right," said the other man. and
they walked on.
Before they bad gone a few steps
Jerry stopped abruptly. Itlgbt In
front of him at the gate was a forty
horsepower automobile.
"Strolled here? Why. you have your
car!" said Jerry.
"Yes." replied Brent hurriedly. "It's
a bright night for a spin."
The two men went on out of bearing.
Peg crept softly upstairs. Just as
■he reached the top Ethel appeared
from behind the curtains on her way
down to the room. She was fully
dressed and carried a small traveling
bag.
Peg looked at her In amazement.
"Ethel!"' she said In a doarse whis
per.
"You!" cried Ethel under ber breath
and glaring at Peg furiously.
"Please dou't tell any one you've
seen me!" begged Peg.
"Go down Into the room!" Ethel or
dered
Peg went down the stairs Into the
dark room Ethel followed her.
"What are vou doing here?"
"I've been to the dance. Oh. ye
won't tell me aunt, will ye? She'd send
me away, an' I don't want to go now,
indnde I don't.''
"To the dance?" repeated Ethel in
credulously. Try as she would she
could not rid herself of the feeling that
Peg was there to watch her.
"To the dauce?" s>be asked again.
"Yen. Mr Jcrr.v took u>e."
"Jerry took yon?'
"Yer mother wouldn't let me go. So
Jerry came hack fot me when ye were
all In bed. nn he took me himself.
An' I enjoyed it sn much. An' 1 don t
want yer mother to know about It Ye
won't tell her. will ye':"
"I shall most certainly see that my
mother knows of It."
"Ye will'/" cried poor broken hearted
Teg.
"1 Rhnll. Tou had no right to go."
"Why are yc so hard on me. Ethel?"
"Because 1 detest yon."
"I'm sorry," said Peg simply. "Te've
spoiled all me pleasure now."
Poor Peg turned away from Ethel
and began to climb the stairs. When
she was about halfway up a thought
flashed across her. She came back
quickly Into the room and went
straight across to Ethel.
"An' what are you doln' here—at
this time o' night? An' dressed like
that? An' with that bag? What doe*
It mane? Where are ye goln'?"
"Go to your room!" said Ethel, livid
with anger -and trying to keep her
voice down and to hush Peg In case
her family were awakened.
"Do ye mean to aay je were goln

Ethel covered Peg's month with hei
hand
"Keep down yonr voice, you little

Peg freed herself. Her temper wis

there was uppermost In her mind ns
■he cried:
"He was here a mlnnlt ago. an' Mr.
Jerry took him away."
"He?" said Ethel frigbtenedly.
"Mr. Brent." answered Peg.
Ethel went quickly to the windows
Peg sprang In front of her and caught
her by the wrists.
"Were ye goln' away with him? An

"Yes." replied Ethel vehemently.
"And 1 am."

DISGRACED THE SENTINEL
For Not Killing the Army Chief Who
Hr.d Struck Him
In Prance in the seventeenth century
the office of sentinel was a very solemn
charge, and a part of the sentioel's
duty was to resent and punish any af
fiont. The severity of this punishment
was in proportion to the high impor
tance of his office. A Frenchman re
lates an incident illustrative of this
fact:
In 1622 M. de Marillac rode away
on horseback from an audience with
the King. His horse stepped on a sen
tinel's foot. The man struck the horse,
which leaped forward and shook M. de
Marillac in his saddle.
The rider turned and struck the sen
tirel. The soldier belonged to the
company of M. de Goas, who' wihen he
heard of this had him arrested and im
prisoned. He himself set out, sword
in hand, in search of M. de Marillac to
demand satisfaction for au insult to
his sentinel.
The King was informed of the inci
dent and sent for M. de Goas and M. de
Marillac. He reprimanded de Marillac
severely, told him that the sentinel
should have killed him and forbade him
to exercise his command as chief mar
shal for six days.
The sentinel was tried before a coun
cil of war and was sentenced as a pen
alty for not killing de Marillac to be
deprived of 'his arms in the presence
of his regiment and to be tortured by
the strappado—that is, to be hoisted by
a rope to a beam and let fall. The
King pardoned the. man, but M. de Goas
would not have him in his company
again.—Washington Star.

MODERN FACTORY METHODS
An Illustration of the Efficiency of
Scientific Management
Writing in tht; 'American Maga
zine" on the development of the moil
em factory under the nfew principles
of scientific management, Miss Ida M.
Tarbell describes the importance of
keeping tools and materials in order in
the workshop and tells the following
st< ry:
"The promptness and sureness with
which a part can be located under this
system I once saw illustrated in an in
teresting way at the VVatertown arsenal.
Lieutenant Colonel Wheeler, the com
manding officer, told me to select a
piece in any one of t'he gun carriages
under construction and we would take
the number of it to the office ami ask
the clerk to tell us where that partic
ular piece Was.
"In five minutes after we had given
him the uumber he had located the
piece. I think it is not an exaggera
tion to say that if under the old sys
tem such a question had been asked of
anybody in the Watertown arsenal it
would have taken days for them to
have answered it, if, indeed, they ever
could have done so.
"As there are fifty different kinds
and grades of material and 4,600 dif
ferent pieces used in a disappearing
gun carriage, the advantage of being
able to put your hand promptly on ma
terial and pieces as well as knowing
every night whether you have in stock
