In such a house rugs may stay undisturbed for a month or more, books for years, and the dust-cloth be rarely in evidence; the redding will consist of putting back in place the things used; but as each member of the family will do this as soon as he is old enough, there will be but a few minutes' work.
The breakfast will be of uncooked or simply heated food, parched grains and cream, fruit fresh or dried, and nuts.

If coffee or cocoa is desired, the electric heater serves it to the requisite degree of heat.

Each adult member of the family will probably take this in his own room or at his own convenience, without the formality of a meal.

The few glasses and other dishes may be plunged into a tank of water and left for future cleaning.
Luncheon will depend altogether on the habits of the family, but dinner, at whatever hour that may be, will be the family symposium.

Dressed in its honor, with a sprightly addition to the conversation of experience or information or conjecture, there will be form and ceremony of a simple, refined kind, such that once again the family may welcome a guest without anxiety.
