"Turkey has been transformed
from a medieval. backward country

Every so often some reformer be-
waiis the passing of the great Am-
erican home. He points out that it
is the bulwark of the nation and
that its imminent decay means our
downfall.
I believe there are a‘ great many
things to worry about before we
take up the downfall of the home.
I believe the homeomaking instinct
and the home-loving instinct are too
firmly embedded in our fiber to de-
cay.
But I believe home life is under-
going a changevand a. change for
the better. I believe it is being in-
dividualized and simplified.
This was impressed on my mind
during my last visit to New York.

house which she has had made into
small apartments told me she had
difficulty renting them because'they
had no kitchens.
The building is in the heart of the
theatrical district wherp everyother
door. nearly. leads into s. restaurant,
but tenants. it seems, want kitchens.
“They won‘t rent an apartment
without a kitchen." she said. “A
' few years ago no one wanted them.
Only poor people were supposed to
cook in small apartments.
"Today, even if you rent to bache-
lors. they want a kitchen if for noth-
ing more than breakfast. or an acca-
sicnal dinner. They want a home,
no matter how small it is."
I was amazed. at the number of
one-room apartments ,being built
tittted up with’ kitchenettes and a
simplification of cooking, utensils and
sinks that answered all ordinary de~
mantis. but took up no room. Home
life seemed to bo flourishing in
great shape.
I remember the
kitchens of my childhood. bigger
than whole apartments now. The
old home with a. sitting room. par-
lor. library. reception room. base-
ment and attic and four or five ex-
tra rooms for guests that dropped
in unceremoniously was! a well-
meaning institution. but it was not.
easy on mother or the hired girl,
who didn't get as much in a month
as the modern maid gets in a week.
with time to herself and a. definite
schedule of duties that she doesn‘t
exceed.
These large. spread-out homes are
almost impossible today. unless one
is very wealthy .or unless a woman
is willing to give every minute of
her time to it. But we have just as
much home life today as we ever
did. in smaller units.
l‘remember a home I used to visit
in my childhood that had 19 rooms.
and was occupied by a grandmother.
grandfather. father. mother. maiden
aunt. and four children.
The entire family was never
known to agree on any one subject.
old-fashioned
They never agreed'ln their verdict
on any one person. They never
struck any harmony in their culi-
nary tastes. Four different kinds of
pancakes were sewed daily for
breakfast.
They never agreed on the tem-
peratilrs a. room should be. Some
were lways too warm and others
alway too cold. They had home
life. ut it was hectic.
It was a. cumbersome unit that
about have been broken up. The
grand arents would have been hap-
pier ‘together. The maiden aunt
would have been a great deal better
off in" her own home. and so would
everyone else. and the father ‘ and
mother would have been happier
with lust their children.
As it was. the home was always
in a turmoil of cross purposes and
as soon as the children were old
‘enoudh they all struck out for them-
sch es.
I know two sisters. teachers,,who
both live in the same city but; have
separ te apartments. Everyone
thin it is funny since they are
both away from home that they
don't‘ live together.
"But it's never got along very well
toget er at home." one of them said
to m . "Why should we Live together
here,‘whcn we are both perfectly
happy apart and better friends than
we h' vs ever been before. We don't
like the same people. Her deep dish
frien s bore me as much as my
crow does her.
“She likes to come home and be
alone‘ in the evening. and I like peo-
ple mund. We both love a. home.
but we don't love the same home."
I know a. girl who left a. luxurious
home‘ in Kansas City to live in a
one-r om apartment she walks up
five lights of stairs to reach. She
loves it. and wouldn't trade it for
the
wort . because it is Just what she
likes.
Her parents don't understand it
because it isn't their ideal of a
home. But. they want her to be
happy, so they don't object.
Fannie Hurst was talking to me
oncelabout a home. .
"I want a. beautiful one." she said.
‘fbutll won't be a-siave to it. I will
never have 'an establishment so
‘cum ersome or intricate that I
can‘t lock it up on a moment's no-
tice land so vagabonding when 1
want to."
Toiiay we all want. homes. but we
do not want. to be tyrannized by
them. .Wo do not want them de-
manding all our time in care and
upkeep.” do we want to live, how-
ever‘ elegantly. according to some
other plan than our own.
W erever pgople go. they make
homes. The first, thing a man who
has amassed a. fortune wants to do
is fol build a big homerThe first idea
of the newly married pair is to build
a. some that. will be their own. The
firstldea of the bathelor girl. after
she has apqutred her freedom. is to
have her own home.
Wl° will never overcome that de-
sire for a home that expresses our
own} ideal of living. But we change
our ideas of what constitutes a
horde. so when we simplify life. and
make it elastic enough to meet the
denlands our our changing times. as
we are today. I think we are Being
forward instead of backward.
