No Young LADY cen be too welln,tructed
in anything which will effect the comfort of
q fsipilo. Whatever position in society she
occupies. she needs practical knowledge OF
household duties. She may be placed IN
such circumstances that il will not be ne.
csssary for her to perform much domestic
labor but on this account she needs not less
kRewlsdgs than if she was obliged to pre-.
side personally over the oooving stove aud
pantry. Indeed, have often thought that
il is'mere difficult to direct others aud re-
quirss moro experience, than TO do the
same work with our own hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and par
ticular that they do not like to give up any
mart of the care to their children. This is
q great mistake in their management, for
they are elton burdened with labor and need
Of relist Children should be carly taught
to make themselves useful; to assist their
parents every way in their power, and to
consider it privilege to do so.
Young people canaot realize the impor-
tance Of q thorough knowledge of house
wifsry, but those who have suffered the in
convenience and mertiicatiop of ignorance
can well appreciate it. Children should be
earl6 INDUCED in their disposition to bake
and experiment in cooking in various ways.
Ii 10 oiten Dut u llIut LhSy
afford; still it is great advantage to them.
Ltnow q little girl who at nine years old
made sloaf Of bread every week during the
winter. Her mother taught her how much
yeast, snd salt, and -four, to use, aud she
became quite an expert baker. Whenevel
she is disposed to try her skill in making
simple piccs or cakes she is permitted to de
so. She is thus, while amusing herself
learning an important lesson. Her mothe
calls her her little house-keeper, and oftei
permit, hor to get what is necessary for tn
table. She hangs the keys by her side
and very musical the jingIing is to her ears
think before she is out OF her teens, upo
which she has not yet entered, that she vii
hase some idea how 20 cook.
Some mothers give their daughters tn
care of housekeeping, each week by turns,. :
1t seems to me q good arrangement, and
most useful part Of their education.
Domestic labor is By no means incomps
ihls with the highest degree of refneme1
and mental culture. Many of the most o
sgant, accomplished women | have know
have looked well to their household duties
and hsye honorod themselves aud the
husbands by so doing.
Economy, taste, skill in cooking, au
neatness ofthc kitchen, have great deal
do in making life happy and prosperous.
The charm of good housekeeping is in o
der, economy, and taste displayed in stte
tioa TO little things; and these little thin
have = wonderful influence. A dirty kite
en- and bad cooking have driven May a OIL
frsn home to seek comfort and happine
somewhere else. None Of our GNsolle
girls are At TO be married until thoy a
thoroughly educated in the deep and pr
found mysteries of the kitchen. -- Presy
