The American wife calls upon elec- iricity to run her radio and refrigerator, to help her with the cooking, heating, ironing, lighting and sweeping her home, and rightly believes she has simplified her housekeeping. Yet, with all that, the American and European homes seem complex to coun- tries where there are no beds or chairs, or perhaps no tables or lamps, nor any windows, silver or carpets to clean. “Housekeeping at its simplest, prob- ably, is the type practiced by Samoyed women of Siberia,” says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society. “They do not even bother to clean house. When they throw so much refuse on the floor that it is difficult to get around, they pull up stakes and plant their tent in a new and clean spot. The abandoned tent sites, rightfully enough are regardeed as unclean and no one else pitches tent there, Turkestan Housewives Weave Rugs. “Home life in Turkestan is largely a matter of making rugs. Turkestan rugs are so famous that it is more profitable for a woman to alternate her household duties with weaving, or even neglect them for weaving. And, in the land of rugs, the women of Turke- stan use the bare earth for a floor. ‘The mud huts of the Turkomans are not conducive to interior decoration. They are windowless, which obviates window-washing on the part of the Turkestan women, and the furniture is limited to a few benches and tables. Poppy seeds are sometimes carried by the wind into the mud and thatch roofs of the houses, and, after rains, one can see houses with their tops abloom with poppies.

No Ironing in Japan. “Japan is modernized, but many old | customs persist in the rural homes. The | Japanese housewife rolls up her bed and | stores it away every morning. Much of | her ‘furniture’ likewise may be rolled | up and stored away. as it consists main- |1y of mats and cushions. There are| no windows to wash. no picture frames to dust and the walls fold back to let in the breezes. Dishes are washed in | cold water and even clothes can be | washed without those two requisites of | the Western world—hot water and soap. | Trons are not needed, for cotton is | dried by stretching on bamboo poles, | and wet silk is smoothed on a board | and dried in the sun.

Samoan pillows are ‘dusted’ not ‘smooth- ed’ They are of wood. Pebbles on the bare ground serve in place of carpets or wooden floors. Arabian Dinner a la Pot. “The disgruntled knife and fork pol- isher would thrive in Arabia. Dinner is served in a huge pot containing a sheep besides vegetables and pastry lumps re- sembling our dumplings. Every one at dinner helps himself by dipping his hand into the pot and bringing forth his portion. In” Yemen, Arabla, the housewife makes coffee by boiling the husk instead of the berry. “In West Africa the dusky house- wife keeps busy despite the absence of furniture in her abode. She pounds maize in a primitive fashion for her porridge, and prepares cassava root into edible concoctions, From cassava root come starch and taploca. If her hus- band is a farmer, she frequently takes care of the crops in addition to cook- ing and looking after the children.” TG EVTTY Fifty-two years ago E. L.
