The Use of Electricity in the House 
ELECTRIC CHAFING-DISH

A small telephone is also here, communicating with 
all parts of the house. On each side of the dressing 
bureau is a miniature adjustable electric lamp 
where can be heated the 
electric curling irons. When 
the wardrobe door is opened, 
an electric closet light floods 
every nook with its rays. 
On a little table in a far 
corner is the nursery electric 
milk-warmer ready for 
j 
instant use at any hour of 
the night. For early au¬ 
tumn days a portable radiator stands ready to 
remove any chill from the room. Adjoining the 
bedroom is the bath-room with its 
electric bath, heater for shaving £ 
water, massage vibrator and radi- 
ator,—the epitome of luxury. 
At the end of the corridor a 
good sized room is devoted to the 
use of the family seamstress. Electric press¬ 
ing irons and sewing machines run by a motor 
are a blessing, saving unnecessary exertion. 
Located on the third floor is the children’s 
play room. Ascending we look through an open 
door into a roomy apartment where games are 
in progress. On the floor is spread a complicated 
system of railroad tracks and a toy train is traveling 
over it, drawn by a toy locomotive propelled by 
electricity supplied through a long, flexible wire from 
a lamp socket on the wall. On a table at the side 
of the room is a complete magic lantern outfit with 
which is used an incandes¬ 
cent lamp of considerable 
power. 
On this floor are located 
the servants’ sleeping 
quarters, which are equip¬ 
ped with electric lights like 
the rest of the house, elec¬ 
tric alarm clocks and re¬ 
turn call push buttons. 
While the average housewife protests loudly 
against the comparatively high cost of electric cook¬ 
ing utensils, if she would bear 
in mind that such utensils are 
made from the best and strongest 
materials and outlast many sup¬ 
plies of the ordinary sort, she would 
perceive the ultimate economy of 
buying the best. 
It is but a short time since electricity has 
become a recognized factor in luxurious and 
comfortable living and has found its way into 
many households, where it is esteemed a 
necessity and not a luxury. Undoubtedly 
the neat future will see it in its new forms as uni¬ 
versally used as is the telephone and electricity for 
lighting
