GOODWIN'S WEEKLY 11 IH THE servant girl problem Is being solved to a queen's tasto by a woman In New Jersey who has made her homo a model of mechan ical gonlus and who has gone even further by establishing an experi ment station for modern housekoep , t ing whore all matrons may come and learn how to do general housework with tho expenditure of a minimum of -energy. This Jersey genius is setting a pace for other housewives. Hot husband is a millionaire but sho hasn't ' l a servant in the house except once a i HVeek wh6n sho omploysfa woman to fufes with tho washing for half a day. Even then tho laundering requires " i very little manual labor, and the Iron- " $ ing of tho .clothes Is a snap. The meals are cooked by the push button process and tho china is never W soiled because inside the dishes are set paper dishes, made to fit, which arp destroyed when the meal is n'r and tho china is returned lmmacu t.o the shelves. Tho silver for in housohold the folks are that kertosh that they do not eat entirely with their flngors are thrown Into a hop par where a spray of chemical. and water baptises them and electrical heat" dries them. Four or five hours each day are allotted to general house work and tho job ,1s finished by the industrious uso of mechanical appli ances, several of which are set go Ing at the same time. Something may be going on all tho time, but the mistress of the house has little else to dp besidoa keeping time on tho turning-on and slvuttlng-off of elec trical push-buttons or gas stops. Those who get the Official Houso j keepers' Bulletin from tho Now Jorsey oxperlmont station 'may find a way to beat tho elusive servant girl out of a ' job and they may also find a way to spend twico as much In tho year on equipment as they would for the fleeting maids and the repoated want-ads. Tho approaching marriage of Mrs. l Clovoland has caused numerous In- (lulrles from visitors at tho White Kouse for hor picture, and groat dis "V appointment Is-exprossed that no por- 9 trait of this gracious lady is hung In the historic mansion over whioh sho ., presided.
