Housekeeping, economical, and yet co1y
and comfortable, il one OF the cbief accom-
pishmeDts Of woman, and one Of the great
requisites to happy homes and fresidcs. The
pockets OF husbands and the happiness OF
wives ere alike concerned in . more general
knowledge Of this good art. To avoid ex
pensive, and often unsuccessful and worry
ing experiments; TO know how to do the right
thing 10 the best and most economical way
to understand, not how TO cook merely, but
the whole varied round Of housekeeping mat
ters, serves to the good nature and csmfor.
and financial relief Of the husband, the tri-
umph and joy of the woman, and the in

The book is Issued by the Appietons. Its
author is practical, energetic lady, for

and how to can eli varieties of fresh fruits ;
in short, how TO make all that 10 to be made,
and do all that 10 to be done (save with the
