for instance. It b a comf.ft and a
convenience whi-b has taken ?u. h *
deep rooted boid on us that It is uow a
necessity, a m3, no matter how bumble

refrigerator. Rut a nuisance attend

seems almost Impossible to pull the

In some of the most up to date hard
ware and house furnishing stores there
Is now tieing shown an article of this
character which greatly facilitates the

ami carried anywhere without the least
danger of disaster. It is almost impos
sible to upset its contents Care In
handling Is not at all essential. Clad in
her finest dress, a woman can dispose
of the refrigerator overflow without
danger.
The new refrigerator pan looks like a
kettledrum more than anything else.
It is a low, flat cylinder. Unlike the
usual pan for this purpose. It has a cov
ered top. Being more or less familiar
with the approximate location of the
drip pipe, the new pan is thrust care
lessly under the refrigerator. The

WHEN EMPTYING THE PAN.
J
water is conducted Into the Interior of
the receptacle t>y means of a series of
channels which carry the drippings to
an Inlet at one edge. At this point on
the circular side walls of the can there
Is also a handle hy which it Is pulled
from Its resting place and carried to
the point of emptying. Under the han
dle there are also other openings to fa
cilitate the precipitating of the con
tents. but in order that It may not
overflow at this poiut they are covered
with a hood of the same metal of
which the pan is made. In transport
ing this reeepta ip from point to point,
as is necessary, it is carried by the
handle In precisely the same manner
as a gripsack. This enables the pan
to Ik' made larger than those of the
type in use at present because of its
greater convenience, it being possible
to carry a greater burden In tills way.
Any woman will recognize the conven
ience of tlds innovation and will won
der that tlie idea was ueior worked
out before.
A Plate Heater.
For use in the butler's pantry to beep
dishes ami food hot a very convenient
little heater lias been designed on the
order of those seen in hotel restau
rants. The only difference is In the
size, the family heater being consider
ably smaller, just large enough to hold
a couple of plates or a small platter.
The heater is made to attach to either
the gas jet or an electric wire, and it
can lie regulated to any temperature
desired. For breakfast this will be
found a great help in serving crisp, hot
toast or in maintaining the high tem
perature of coffee and water. No well
equipped dining room or serving pan
try is complete without at least one of
these heaters, and In large houses sev
eral are Installed to fa< ilitate the serv
ing of large dinners and luncheons.
Brushing a Dress.
In brushing a garment that holds
lint and dust place It upon the ironing
board and sweep it with the whisk
broom, always In the direction of the
weave, which should la* from the band
to the bem. Even this process will
Jot always insure a perfectly clean
skirt. for the broom and brush scat
ter dust particles, but you will meet
with good results by going lightly over
the goods with a dry sjionge. This
sponge will take up all places of lint.
It can be used to brush the collar and
cuffs of a coat and is very convenient
for dusting dandrufT from a man's
eoat collar.

AS TO OBEYING.
That It the “Last Stray*,’' According to
Up to Date Bride.
Just oue thing the average full bride
w ishes to kuu« is this: Why should
she promise to obey when neither the
brides of the tinman uor t,risk com
munions. Jewish brides and Quaker
brides, are compelled to make this old
fashioned promise?
Aud the worst part of it Is the un
truth of it. Women ure no longer con
scienceless creatures who must lie com
manded to tie good and laden with
other instructions whenever their other
halves depart. Away back in the past
when they were uneducated burdeu
bearers aud never held converse with
guests this was doubtlessly u wise
clause. This quest lou of the pledge of
obedience which is extracted from
brides who profess certain forms of
religion Is continually coming under
discussion, and in these days, when the
equality of the sexes is demanded
and when many clergy as well us lay
men admit that It should lie recog
nized, it seems Inconsistent that this
vow should be demanded of women.
While It is thought nothing short of
shm king that daughters should rebel
at this idea of placing themselves In
subjis lieu to their husbands, many are
not averse to giving them In marriage
tii men already possi ssisl of wives
from whom they have lieen divorced,
and. while many consider It a fearful
sign of the times and ttti indication of
coming disaster that it should even he
proposed that this vow of obedience
should lie deleted from ttie marriage
service, yet few would be prepared to
say that because women of other re
ligious views do not make this vow
they are therefore bringing their sex
to naught and uprooting all the tradi
tions of the race.
