Teach Daughters to be HOusekeepers
BYlMRs. HENRY WARD REECHER.

No one can hope to hire those who will
bring the best taste, the incest attention to
order, neatness and economy in little things
into the kitchen, together with correct
knowledge Of preparing the simplest
meal in a beautiful and attractive manner
and vet all these united have wonderful
power toward making home life happy
and prosperous. And the absence of these
charms, careless housekeeping, an untidy
and unattractive home and poor cooking
have driven many husband to seek COM
fort and happiness elsewhere. These
things which constitute the true charm OF
. home cannot be bought or secured by
the labor of hirelings. 1t is only the mis-
tress OF the house. the wife and mother,
through her love and union ofinterest with
her husband and children, who guided
by her affection, will labor to bring that
charm about her household which springs
from systematic labor, scrupulous neat
ness and economy. finely appointed
table with food daintily prepared and
served with exquisite taste. No lady of
the highest talent or accomplishment need
feel that she demeans herself by giving
her most earnest attention to the beauty
and comfort of her home. and the most
careful ordering of everything connected
with the kitchen department. Low down
Is foolish ideas of gentility have been
accustomed to place that department. it
has much more to do with the comfort or
discomfort. the peace and happiness or
the discord and evil temper OF the whole
family than can be gained from elegant or
fashionable parties. and all that etiquette
demands in fashion.
