let the bread-making be done by tho ba-

those who make 1t . business, 1t becomes
possible for many families, who otherwise
must always have succession Of stran-
gers in the house, TO adopt the happy
plan Of living privately and by them
selves, which il infinitely better for the
children and more agreeable, except In
rare cases, for the whole family. 1t is bet.
for the children because they are always
ter disposed to help one another and assist
father and mother when they would be
less helpful and useful where there is hir-
cd help, upon whom they often shirk
their duties.
