IN THE “STAINLESS” HOME

I£ you want to reduce the physical effort attendant upon running a home, you will see to it that, so far as is possible, the metal articles used both in the decoration and the practical equipment of the house are of the order known as “stainless,” and also that these stainless articles are treated correctly. For example, it is useless to give the doors glass handles set in metal rims which call only for a weekly rub from a chamois, if you forget to instruct the maid accordingly. Directly she usee a spot of metal polish on their surface they will ever after need its ministrations, and all the advantage of their stainless lacquer surface will have been lost. The same applies to the stainless, lacquered electric light fittings, the stainless steam fender trappings, and so on. Stainless table silver is less well known than as stainless knives, yet its advantage is even greater, for the weekly silver-cleaning can be a lengthy business, especially when the design of the handies involves getting into crevices. Nor do enough households take advantage of the stainless lemon-cutters and fruit knives that are such great labour-re ducers. Vegetable peelers of stainless metal should he in the drawer of every kitchen table.
