In order TO keep house acceplably, one
must be endowed with method, judgment,
taste and self control; but as these rarely
meet in the same person, many houses are
conducted solely by means of one or the
other, while many more are run at the ex-
pense Of neither, and the result is hand
to-mouth kind of housekeeping, creditable
TO nobody, afIordlng anxiety 10 all and
pleasure TO none. To be good housekeep-
er should be the aim of every one who has
house TO keep, be it Palace or cottage;
and this does not merely Include living in
a state of constant warfare with the ubiq-
uitous ogre, Dust, which lies in ambush in
every crack and Granny, nor in preserving
the paint unspotted, the glass unclouded,
the closets in perfect order, and the floors
in such condition that one could eat off
them, as the saying goes-all this may be
accomplished, and yet the house answer
only to the description of "a wellkept inn
the good housekeeper must still call her
self an Improbable servant, when she has
dictated the terms upon which the home
may exist, unless she has not only attend

be aired, lighted, and warmed. that the
servants shall be neat and civil, but that
the eyes shall be delighted as well as the
palate, the mind be nourished as well as
the body; that each individual shall dwell
at ease, without dread of a possible hitch in
the household machinery, if he fails 10 pur-
sue a prescribed and wearlsome routine.
Who has not seen people moving in their
own homes as If afraid of doing some mis-
chief, who had the air of being about as
much at home as uninvited guests chill
dren who stood in awe of the best parlor;
sons who felt so i'll at ease under the pater-
nal rOOf-tree that they made haste TO ex-
change 1t for the -go-lucky atmos-

keeping as well as the Sabbath was made
for man, and not the reverse, as many seem
10 suspect. 1t is not necessary that we
should exhibit wood-carving, ormolu, and
Palsy pottery in our new houses, but it
Is imperative that We should have freedom
and absence Of constraint, that we should
be able to treat our family and friends with
more respect than our possessions. Let
there be nothing in the house too good for
human natures daily enjoyment, If 1t is
going to be stumbling block to any let
us have nothing under glass cases, but ev-
erything for use and profit, remembering
that It is quite as important TO provide
pleasure for the household as food and
clothing. Let us not live in such dread of

friend TO dine, or order a roast for washing
