"Of course this does not apply t(
certain lirms which give out work to b(
done at home. Around Troy, for in
?tance, there nre many tsl.irt and col?
lar factories. Much of tho work it
done outside the factories. Worrier
who live in nearby villages or or

them. That, of course, is a very dif?

the women do the work at home in

reputable firms do not adverti-e as the

Women Suffer Most.
"Women are the ones who suffer
most from these swindles, although
there are companies, of curse, which
fie.'ce men, also. Rut by far the
1 greater number operate among women
! only, by offering ?o pay good prices for
sewing and making fancy articles.
That is where the pathos comes in.
So many women, anxious to make a
living for themselves and for their
'. children, perhaps, and without any
; training except that of the woman
who has spent her life at home doing
the things about a house, answer these
j ads.
'?The money asked at first i? usually
| very little sometimes not more than
25 cents. Rut to the women to whom
the?e ads appeal even that sum may
mean a r-ra! ?acnr.ce. Thst initial out
lav is never the end. In all thene
schemes there is always some ma*er;H
or pattern which must be purchase
from the company. These are sold
usually, at about ten times their rea

was an office in Boston as well as in rni?

Efficiency in the Trunk Room
?
Tagging Each Trunk and Making an Inventory of Its
Contents Does Away with Frenzied Searching.
APARTMENT HOUSE living
do-? much to teach cffieii
methods to the modern won
Particularly is this true in the putl
away of a reason's garments, the 1
?tod storage space for articles not
actual use necessitating systemi
labelling and inventorying, If time
to be saved later on.
The keeping of trunks in s gene
storage room, not always easy of
cess, has accustomed women to tak
an inventory of the contents of ei
trunk. A loose leaf memorandum br
is used by many housekeepers for tl
purpose. When the contents of a tru
are changed, the page is removed anr
fresh one substituted on which is t
new Inventory. Such a book is k?
with the trunk keys. This method ?
ables any person to make an inte!
gent visit to the trunk room a:
quickly find the desired article.
Efficiency methods have taught tl
modern woman the desirability of tt.
ging euch trunk with a conspicuo!
number. "Trunk No. 4" may sour
less Intimate than "mother's old bias
trunk," but It is more definite and lei
likely to create confusion. In a larf
family, where the trunk numherir
habit obtains, the men of the fami!
have the odd numbers and the wome
the even ones. This Is so well undei
stood that no time is ever wasted i
running through the inventory o
Trunk No. 2 if father's things ar
wanted, and No. 3's list Is not bothers
with if the d<vsired garments belong k
mother.
Ry utilizing the large folding psste
board boxes which come into ever*,
home from chops, tailors end cleaning
establishments many garments can be
conveniently stored on shelves, the
boxes being evenly stacked one over
| the other and plainly labelled. If the
contents of these boxes are to be easily
accessible the label must be plainly
It? and not on top of the package
or on the concealed side. With utten
Ition to these small details there will
he no frensied hunting through several
boxes to tind what is wanted. It will
be there, Its contents noted In plain
sight at a moment's notice.
The upper shelve? of a linen clo?ot
can be a?lvantageou?ly used for the
storing of carefully stacked and
lab* 111 ?! boxea and packages. 'I
most shelves of the built-in closets of
apartment bedrooms are also well
for the purpose, as such shelving is
too high for the storing of articles in
daily use.
Tags are cheap when bought, hut
they are cheaper and more satisfactory
when cut from firm white cardboard
and printed with the blackest of ink
a",.i the itabbiest of pen points. 'lhr?o
handmade tags may be cut out at odd
. the eyelet punched and a length
of twine inserted, so that only the
tying on is necessary at the time of
packing the box.

cumbed to the necessity for efficiency

life will find this a good time of year

. a ,'icnr maker, who, with his
wife's help, had always made a com?

taken to a .sanatorium. He is much im

five months he may return home. In
me his wife has been work

but this has not brought in
enough income, and her small savinge
are exhausted.
The hunii influences for these ehll?
dren are good, and the Charity Or?

them all together. To make this pos?
ible ?he society asks gifts toward a
