Why Do Young House-keepers
Fail?

There is nothing more fatal to the
hopes or the courage of a young
house-keeper than oft-repeated and
unaccountable failure in the line of
cookery. The simple old verse,
"If at first you don't succeed.
Try, try, again.
and it's lesson, which in spred her
youthful efforts at spelling and null
duplication, fail incentive power in
later years. and renewed effort is a
labor not to be thought of.
If the philosophy of chemistry be
involved, the young house'keeper is
often utterly at sea. She may have
been a very bright scholar and a
graduate; but the study of that SCI
ence has unfolded no principles to
her by which she is aided either to
a wholesome palatable preparation
of food or to regulation of the san.
itary condition of her household.
But were chemistry replete with such
information as this, it were still in.
sufficient to make good cooks and
model house keepers unless such
study be accompanied by everyday
experience.
In the daily routine of Homework
there arise from time to time quest
ions which puzzle the most exper
fenced house.keeper; especially is
this the case in q newly started
household with young mistress at
its head.
To an enquiring mind these quest
ions are often very perplexing, on
account of the inability to find a sat
isfactory answer. There are on the
other hand, persons whose indlffer-
.ence in such matters meyer allows
them to 60 beyond. or rather back
of. a failure to find a reason or q
remedy for it. TO fail generally is
to them to "give up the ship which
means in many instances abandon
lment of house keeping.
There are other house.keepers, to
whom the difference between sue
cess and failure is altogether un-
known, especially in the art OF cook
cry. They send in o church dinners
their promised contribution of home
made bread and mashed potato, the
former very much Overdone, the lat
ter equally overdone, of uncertain
color. and decided flavor of the iron
vessel in which it probably waited
its time of serving. 1t is well
known characteristic ofsuch house
keepers to ':dish up their unsavory
messes with complacency which is
truly astonishing.
Still another class Of cooks-and
they are very common-"truSt to
luck' to bring about desired results
If the bread or cake comes out par
ticulary nice, they pride themselves
upon their "good luck''; otherwise
they have had bad luck" which is
worse than bad when not followed
by an investigation of the causes
which produced such result.
A. young house-keeper may know
perhaps, that her lack of experience
in a particular beahch Of cookery is

it is reused it sweeps everything that dares

7estige of the ring was left. Now public

implanted everywhere among the people
Anything that fosters great wrong or per
petrates injustice can never hope to long
prosper. Sooner or later the solid public sen

it of the face OF the earth.
Many good people, when considering
the corruption that SO often convulses some
of our greatest American cities, and stand

and organizations and parties, are inclined
to take pessimistic view Of the future o
