In brief, they are decided for oo operative housekeeping in Montclair, The Council! of Twenty, @ body con- neoted with the Unity Unitarian Church, is back of the scheme, but it fo in the direct charge of a committee jeaded by Mrs. H. A. Leonhauser, of Ne. 8 Prospect avenue. Mrs. Leon- heuser has been studying sotentific @ome management for several yearn asd she has reached the conclusion that the community can keep house Detter than the individual. “$t's ridiculous to use up fifty eooks in cooking for fifty fam- files! she exclaimed. “And as for Gleaning, one woman using & vacu- ‘am cleaner can Keep dust out of a poore of households with less ex- ertion than the old-fashioned woman needed for « single day of house-cleaning. It’s an age be! specialization and centralization o! industry, and we housewives ought to with our times, “1 beestted at loast fifty heade of fagnilies who are eager to rive the co- operative plan a tryout, and we shall, in the beginning organize on that numeri- cal basis. A board of management, 0 up of representatives of these felmilies, will establish @ central house- keeping bureau and a central culinary ‘Dureau. From the housekeeping bureau eaph family will procure professional cleaners, paying them by the hour. ‘These workers will be ready to wweep, dwt, polish ailver, wash woodwork, meke beds—in fact, they will do any- thing they are asked except cooking. All food will be prepared at the cen- tral culinary bureau, under the direo- tion of skille’ chefs. Then ft will be placed in carefully heated receptacles conveyed by automobiles to each use dinner table. Dishes will aleo sent along, to be returned to the e al bureau after the meal ia over. ‘Thus the housewife ie freed fram the particularly disagreeable drudgery of AMighwashing.” @UPPOSING ALL WANT WHITE MEAT OF CHICKEN. bane @omebody said to me, this plan work al) right with angels, but not ‘women,” I objected. “Suppose ev- Ee one of the fifty wante her windows on the same Gay and et the but you're not aNowing for the her child more hour of confidences than if she spent the half-hour in baking gingerbread. When a wife brilliantly entertains her husband's friends at dinner she affords him more happiness and pride than she would inspire by weeks of house- cleaning. EXPECTS TO SAVE MONEY AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM. “This servant problem is almply urr escapable,” added Mra, Leonhauser with & sigh. “It's not merely the diMeuity of getting a good maid; it’s the cost of her while you have her. Say that the average wage for a gencral servant 4@ 8% a month, That makes $90 a year, It to necessary to allow at least $3 a week, or $16 a year, for her room and board. In addition there is $20 or so for special cleaning and window wash- ing. 1 have reckoned on this basis that the cost of service for fifty families during one year mounts up to $23,000. And this is omitting a large ttem—the breakage and the Waste of food material by @ wervant.” “And you find that these expenses Will be jess on the co-operative plan?” 1 asked. “Indeed, yes!" declared Mrs. Leon- hauser, “The totai expense for both housekeeping and culinary departments wil! not exceed $16,000, “It seems to me that the ser- vante will be quite as well satis- fled as the housewives. I can't Dlame the domestio servant for much of her disli¥e for the present conditions of her employment. She has neither definite hours of work Bor adequate social life. Under the co-operative regime she will have “Bach family in the co-operative group will pay $900 a year for services from the housekeeping department. The price paid for food will of course vary according to the sise of the family, the age of the children and other obvious factors, But in every case I am sure there will be @ real financial saving and an equally real saving in worry and Rervous strain for the housewife. We fet #0 tired of this monotonous business of ordering meals that we dread at them when they're on the table,” ended Mrs. Leonhauser, I don’t doubt it, but if fifty families use the game kitchen thirk, on think, of ‘the appalling monotony of the dinner parties they’ll_give one another!
