Practical Directions for Planning and Equipping the 
Modern Labor-Saving Kitchen 
By GEORGE BOYNTON CHILD 
The Efficient Kitchen has been written to answer the question of the 
practical home maker who desires to put her housekeeping on a modern 
basis. Without going into theory, it tells practically how to eliminate 
waste and thus lower the cost of living. The adaption of labor saving in¬ 
ventions to the needs of everyone, prices of household equipment, comparative merits and directions 
for installing, are some of the practical phases of this guide to an ideal system of meeting the house¬ 
keeping problem. It is fitted for the needs of every house owner, whatever the station may be.

five gesture.) You'll not do this? 
(Pause.) Oh, hateful Helia! Thou art 
a changeling from the once sweet mistress 
I did love to serve. Thus pride hath 
marked thee! Oh, wicked, wicked! I 
hate thee, Helia! (Throws herself onto 
FUTIL'S breast, weeping. Consternation, 
into which break from far off in the wood, 
ap L., faint cries, shouts, screams of 
fright, hoarse laughter, distracting the at¬ 
tention of all; running in terror, fleeing 
from some pursuer, comes a group of Sun¬ 
beams, with Flozvers among them, all 
rushing pell mell, screaming and calling 
out; some Flowers drop exhausted by the 
zvay, rising to stagger on; all drop as they 
reach the glade; Sunbeams rush about giv- j 
ing warning.) 
SUNBEAMS — To cover, to cover — all 
of you ! Hide deep ! — No time for aught! 
—They’ve upon us—we’re lost! 
FIRST SUNBEAM — Your majesty! 
hide, hide, I pray you, e’er ’tis too late— • 
for even now they’re here! 
SECOND SUNBEAM — Upon our 
heels, your majesty! 
THIRD SUNBEAM — Quick, make 
your escape! 
FOURTH SUNBEAM— We’re noth¬ 
ing ’gainst the horde! 
FIRST SUNBEAM — Oh, come, my | 
lady! Stay not! (They surround and try , 
to lead the Queen azvay; peals of laughter : 
ring continually from the zvood, now here, 
nozv there, with shouts and laughing 
cries.) 
HELIA —What is the meaning of this 
strange return? And what of the mis¬ 
sion on which I sent you forth? 
FIRST SUNBEAM— Oh, Helia, there 
is no time! Mortals would have none of 
us but shut us out wherever we did go. 
SECOND SUNBEAM— There is no 
help from them — but, oh, worse, worse! 
Come, come, your highness — lose not an¬ 
other moment! 
HELIA — What is’t, I say ? 
FIRST SUNBEAM (hurriedly) — It is 
that famed and wicked outlaw of the 
world, my lady — reviled and justly hated 
Dust! (General cry of alarm.) 
SECOND SUNBEAM—Oh, hasten, 
Queen, and hide at once — for such a horde 
of ruffians do make up his train as none 
e’er dreamed on! 
THIRD SUNBEAM— And oh, the 
power and nimbleness of them! They 
pulled and pushed and threw us all about, 
and jeered and mocked! — and jeered at 
thee, your majesty, leaping and capering 
at thy name with shouts of ribald laugh¬ 
ter ! 
FIRST SUNBEAM— Yet when we 
leaped in turn at them, they did away, and 
tripped us — and skipped and teased — oh, 
oh, your majesty! 
THIRD SUNBEAM — And chased us 
here—and boasted that e’en this garden in 
the greenwood deep, the home and heart 
of Summer, must fall before their 
prowess! (Laughter and shouting grozvs
