had experience at ia your own home,
or for which you think you have nat

household that will not soon discover

most every-up-to-date house provides
for its domestics, are infinitely more
attractive than almost any kelf-snp-porting
woman of my acquaintance

which her salary justifies her living."
Women in domestic service nowa
days arc practically like the lilies of
the field so far as solicitude for food
. and shelter are concerned. Believed of
this material worry, which so rapiily
gcs the average woman, the educated

"A box of keys was handed me,"
she said," with instructions to lock

It was hopeless to. tell where they be
longed. 1 sent fur a locksmith, and he
was powerless to adjust them. I bought
a couple dozen tags, and when keys
were fitted properly to every closet and
drawer I marked each key with a num
bered tag and put them on a Ting. I
am still at a' loss to explain bow so
splendid a bouse could bo run for three
years under the j surveillance, of a
high-priced housekeeper ;and be with
out this simple device.:
' Th is is a very beautiful, bouse,'
said tbe locksmith.' ' Tbey are all beau
tiful, costly homes along here. It V a
pity they are ail so dirty.'
-"I dil not grasp his meaning until a
few days later, when I went into the
kitchen and laundry. The range was
frightfuPy warped and a" fire was rag
ing big enough to roast an ox. All that
was cooking was a tongue. I- asked
the csuse, and was told that there was
very little coal in, the range. When the
fire died out I had the range examined,
to discover that the bricks in the back
were almost : completely burnel out.
There beiog no protection between tbe
hot coals and the ocnT naturally the
top was warped. I found out the mak
it of the range and telephoned bim to
come and see it. lie said it was crimin
al negligence, and soon neWtrricks re
placed the lumed-out ones. The laun
drv . stove smoked frightfully, great
volumes of smoke going up between the
walls to the top of the house. Pulling
the stove apart, we found a big hole
burned through the back of it. Through
this hole tbe fire dropped, turning -the
smoke into the ' crevices between " the
walls instead of up the chimney 'flu-j.
How the house bad escaped fire was
the mystery. I bad a new back, put in
tbe laundry stove. It took a day to
cleanse the refrigerator. . I brought all

have since learned that the family have

such rapid succession that it was al
most impossible to distinguish separate
detonations. There were nine such ex
plosions in all, and these left tbe plant
in flames, which kept the fire depart
ment busy for several hours. Tbe to
