pertaining to women and their special
provinces. Women are told in didactic
phrases of their duties, and the various
accomplishments that are required at
home and III society to enable them TO
fulfill their high destiny. All this is
we'll Whatever stimulates them in the
endeavor to bring out the sweetness of
life, to aid in nurturing and sustaining
all the dearest relations of which that life
is susceptible deserves a high place in
the regard of every true woman.
A woman cannot be too highly cultivated
for the work of home making. The
thoroughness and diligence that has been
required to fit her to be ornamental in
society is all called into play at home in
the arranging of furniture, i'll the garn-
ishing of the table, and whatever taste
she may possess viii find complete OppOr-
tunity in adjoining the place where love
dwells. The self-discipline that years of
study enforced will not come amiss in the
ordering of a household where untutored
services and hayward childhood embar-
rass her every step, and what
ever administrative capacity she possesses
will be fully taxed to keep the various de-
parUments of home government i'll order
for efficient service.
The husband rightly expects a home
made comfortable, a wife neat and kind,
who can smile genially upon an unex-
pected guest, and spread for them 81 APP
petizing meal however simple i'll detail.
This hasty sketch viii suggest to every
woman who thinks, surely housekeeping
is no easy task No, that it is not, but
it is possible TO convert it into Il fine art,
if the heart of the wife enters into it
Not by servants hand can
the charm of home be
supplied the dainty grace of
beauteous decoration comes with affec-
ton $ touch, not by the energy of strict
precision can the ease of home life be
perfected, but the tender offices of trne
love between father and mother and
children. The constant presence of bear
aud fOrbear, make home that may be
orderly, whose inmates are punctual to
all calls whether of duty or pleasure In
a true home grows that rarest plant
kindness, it is jealousy guarded and
most carefully tended, the master
speaks kindly to his servant, the hus-
band has no reserves of gentle words
that his wife never receives, and
children yield cheerful obedience
tOithe commands gently but firmly given.
The mother knows the potency of kind
words, and that feminine character Is
ever the stronger which battling success
fully against the petty ANNOYANCE that
are of daily recurrence, Notwithstanding
a nervous irritability that comes OF null
titudlnous cases, wins loyal allegiance
from the subjects OF her little domain
that is Overshadowcd by gentle infiu-
ence which finds its outcome in kind
words, pleasant greetings and those man
fold little acts of kindness that make
earthly life an almost heavenly exhibit.
