_Multum in parvo_--here you have it. A little washing machine that can be a sweet pal of the portable typewriter--less its weight, not requiring, though, either ink or hand labor. This tiny wooden washer is placed under a water faucet and the weakest stream of water revolves its little cylinder so that you can wash two or three shirtwaists and six hankies and seven towels in one operation while you sit and think how lucky you are. Fancy this little fairy in a hotel room, in the country, where the wash ladies are obsolete and your nurse won’t wash--or where you don’t want to trust your trousseau to any laundry resident in your rural haunt. And it is invaluable for the baby’s wash--because the baby is no respecter of labor and needs much rehabilitation. It fits on any wash-stand, is simply made, easily cleaned _très bon marché_. So your parlor, bedroom and bathroom need not be a limitation to your wardrobe’s perfection. How many times have you toasted bread at your morning meal--the meal at which most of us are poorly adjusted? How many times have we nearly (?) sworn because your magic electric toaster only did the trick on one side of the bread? Now--there has been born a toaster which, when one side of the toast is done, “turns the other cheek” (by a pat of one’s finger on a lever) and in most traditionally ethical fashion, so that you have self-turned toast, well cooked, waiting for you--disgruntled or radiant. It’s a nice thought--to have toast without blackened fingers or disintegrated character. Every sick room at some time or another needs, besides air, a gentle deodorant. In accordance with electricity’s forward march an electric incense burner can be bought which though not in the traditional mode is very much to the manner of to-day. Whether this will appeal to our Greenwich Village friends who espouse with all their modernity archaic methods, we cannot tell--yet would we suggest this device whether they be incensed or not. Soon there will be on the market a wee electric washette--a portable six shirtwaist or twelve soxer which washes clothes and will spare the fare on silk hose or lingerie. Most city and country dwellings have electricity and in a few months this vital little machine will be yours for the paying. Bathrooms to-day without the shower would be like the kiss to the strange maiden who liked it not, were her lover unmustachioed. In order to have a faultless shower--for they are often built haphazardly so that they leak, spatter, burn and scatter--a standardized shower has been put on the market which, when ordered by the architect, can be put into any bathroom. It can be in curved or square design and in almost any size. After installation it can be finished in paint, marble, tile or in whatever uniform your bathroom mobilized. The fixtures are the most modern, completely covering the bather with sprays enticing and affording thorough refreshment.
