v ‘yo _— A Payehic Hounsekeeper OUSEKEEPERS who sought troubles In clubs have rellet from th “Don't Worry" promised genuine bearing the label of great central foundry of designated on the map as Chicago. Psychic housckeeping Is the coming joy, and a Chicago woman is the Inventor. Sh: fs positive plan the servant problem. In her house every- body works cheerily, including father and in vain arc omfort the hot-alr reformery her eolves the guests, hence the housekecper only needs to direct the operation Hitherto the management of the ‘iouse- hold has been considered woman's especial prerogative, Man has been gene man- ager of rallroad and factory and store and mine, but under the e system he becomes a general wager of housekeep- ing, a working manager in name and deed. ‘pey ma The first man to hold the office and ad- minfster culinary and other domestlc af- fairs Is John Forsell, an artist, who lives in a blg square house at No. 141 Wave- land avenue, Chicago. The mistress of the mansion {8 Mrs. Forsell, yet she does not say “my home" when she speaks of It but rather “our home,* thereby wishing 1t understood that every occupant of this unique habitation is as much the “boss” ms she herself, She is the inventor of “psychic” housekeeping, a kind which she asscrts v adaptable to two or more familics, or to one family and its relatives or friends. To start at the beginning, stated that the Forsell family consists of nine persons—the artist and his wife, another man and his wife, and fiv young men \who have not yet mustered up suf- ficient courage to undertake the support of a help-meet, even though psychle™ housekeeping dispenses with the servant girl question, and, besides, reduces the cost of married life to the minimum. All shars equally In paying expenses, and every one does an equal amount of work The messenger who calls for Dr. Brook at 5:30 a. m. will find in the kitchen frying eggs or making coffee. And it the business house employes, who consti- tute part and parcel of the Forsell family, happen to register late on the time clock it 1s not likely to be due to an elevated trains' delay, but to their pledge to make up their beds before leaving home for the store every morning. As the general manager of this “psychlc’ houseliold Mr. Forsell keeps a set of books, accounting for every penny ex- pended, and sees to it that no one shirks his allotted tasks, sich as walting on the table, turning the wringer, scrubbing the kitchen floor or attending the furnace. He wlso las to remember from day to day whose duty it Is to feed the family cat. Such a revolutionary system of managing & house would be Impossible of execution were it not for the basic principle on which it 1s established. “The secret of our success,” says Mrs. Forsell, “lies entirely in the creation of a ‘pysehic’ atmosphere, Nobody must harbor a grudge. “But how can anybody avoid having one occasionally 7" she was asked. “Nobody can,” replied Mrs. Forsell, “but nobody needs to keep one. When one of our family comes home with a thing like that he must sit down alofe and say, ‘Go away, grudge,’ or ‘Get out, grouch’, until his soul gets into harmony with altruism. ‘When we are all in that state we have the ‘psychlc’ atmosphere.” “What is the practical effect of such a frame of mind?" “Why, you see,” answered the artist's wife, “the motive of self-interest as the driving force of personal conduct 18 subor- dinated. Instead ‘of the man, and also the woman, wishing to do only that which pleascs him or w benefits him alone, he strives to accomplish something for the pleasure of benefit of his assoclates. Hence, whenever there is work to be done in our house, each is ready for any task, whetner it be personally agreeable pr disa- grecable “Surely mean that such an approach td human perfection s attainable in Chicago?" . “Not ¢ ttainable, but attained right in this house,” replied Mrs. Forsell. *“You should see It whea we are all at home. At 6 o'clock tha oon the men began it should be him ch you do not to come home. The first was the artist, from his casel, He had a place to hang his coat and hat, and he put them in that place, not on a chair back. “Have you started the dinner?’ asked the general manager of the ‘psychic’ house- hold, who didn't seem to be in a mood that required the obliteration of a grudge or grouch. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY what it 1s all along the Hne. Her hus band's books, balanced monthly, show in plain figures that the household expenses for two years { a half under the paychic’ regime has been $8 a month a person. A Remarkable Woman, Delmar, a town that is about half In Maryland and half in Delaware, points with pride to a distinguished cititzen who as 112 years old on the 12th day of last February. She is a woman—Mrs. He ter Cordroy—and she not only mentally and physically active, but she Is a hust- ler that outclasses In her energetic ac- tivity girls who are 100 years younger than hers Mrs. Cordroy not only looks after her domestic affairs, reports the Baltimore American, but actually cultivates two large kitchen gardens. She grows onions, potatoes, cabbages, tomatoes and other produce for the market. She has been hoe- ing Wer own row for 10 years, or ever since she was a girl of twelve, and she is doing it this springtime as usual. She h been married twice and h large po: terity, including ten great-grandchildren, but she has declired every press g invita- tion to make her home with any of her boys or girls Mrs. Cordroy, as is usual with centen- arlans, has her theory of longevity. She does not agree entirely with the distin- gulshed statesman and diplomat, the Hon Wu Ting-Fang, In the conclusion that the way adhere to attain exclusivel Hero 18 the message to this twentleth century generation of young women: “If the girls of today would do more work and think less of the parlor, the 100-year rk to to the vegetarian det which she delivers m they would be healthier and live longer."” Illustratively she mention that whe she s a girl she used to plow all day and then milk seven cows after dark. She has been wo actively on the move during the last 111 years—ever since she could balance herself in an upright position—that she has never had five minutes of spare time to think about growing old. It is unnece sary to add that Delmar and the whole Maryland and Delaware peninsula is proud of Mrs. Cordroy. P - Don’t Want Separate Cars. The failure of the women to use the cars reserved for them on traing on the Me- Adoo tunnel between New York and New Jersey has caused the management to con- fine the reservation of such cars to one hour in the morning and one hour in the eve The company announced that it was found that the cars were occupled by women only during the rush hours and that even then there were more women In the unreserved cars than in the reserved. The new order also gives permission to men to occupy the cars reserved for women if they desire to do so. The company said that this permission was granted because frequently there would be many vacant seats in the women's cars, while men would be standing up in the others. This order of the company was taken to indicate that the women did not demand separate coaches, Her Ranch a Kingdom. It is a curious fact, says a writer in Van Norden's Magazine, that women are shin- ing lights in the curious ranch life of the west. Mrs. Harriet King has a little realm of her own down In southeast Texas, She 18 the sole owner and actual manager of Santa Gertrudis ranch, near Corpus Christ.

Crossbarred lawns sheerness ncession valling are less fine and dainty, but some- times make up well if of good quality, and the dimities are good materials for such purposes, wearing better than ihe prettier barred batiste or the lawn, though not, of course, giving such service as the linen or madras of other days. Cotton crepe and cotton marquisette are both used for this simple type of blouse, but lack the tuilored air even at their simplest.
