DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.
It Exists Only Where the Housekceper l
Also n mc-Maker.

Also n Home-Maker.
Housekeeping is something more
than housekeeping. Wherever there
is q man of our race there is, if not q
home, the need of home, and wher-
ever there is true lady Of the Anglo
Saxon lineage there is 'loaf-giver," a
home-maker and home-preserver. AS
all the rivers empty into the sea, as the
sea forever feeds tho sources Of every
stream, so all colleges, schools, churches,
all arts and trades, continually give up
their results TO the home and are, in
turn, depend ent upon the home. 1t is
the level OF the sea that fixes the
measure of the mountain tops; the level
Of the homes of race measures all the
institutions of the race. Whatever is
rooted up or borne down in the vast
progress of civilization, the mother will
survive, and will give her stamp to life.
1t is a woman's peculiar province to
create beauty and order in the habits
and associations of daily existence. She
takes the raw material, In the shape Of
her husbands income, great or small,
and from it she evolves as much
comfort, as many legitimate graft
flea tions, and as many Of the
finer uses of home as she can. There
is q wide range for many varieties Of
skill and knowledge. In one home we
see the results of thorough domestic
training; the mother possesses all the
resources of wise and practical system
of household management Another
covers the unprepared intuitional wom-
an, who loves because she loves and
makes home without previous train
ing, as bird builds nest Our home
keeping shall not show inhospitality to
woman's thought regarding home mat
tiers and whatever concerns humanity
concerns the home
In these days materialism is knocking
at every door. 1t has even found its
way within the sanctuary, and invades
the very nursery. To wives and mothers
it offers the insidious plea that modern
civilization will relieve her Of her cares

of her home; she is to preside"
ruling only as queen rules when her
constitutional advisers govern her as
well as the kingdom. This is a false
theory OF home rule in the family,
whatever 1t may be in the State. Home
keeping implies an earnest and re-
sponsible charge Of sacred interests In
the administration Of home affairs the
house mother can trust no one between
herself and God.
The cooking, sewing, furnishing, are
all good, needful things, to be done
more or loss by proxy, according to cir
cumstances, but all worth knowing
about. The necessary precautions for
health in modern dwellings, the secret
Of nutrition for infants, for the aged, as
