81 think that a young lady's educa-
ton, like charity and every other good
quality, should begin at home," said
Mrs. William Window, wife of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. "She should
first of all be thoroughly instructed in
domestic duties. | should be very sorry
to have daughter of mine assume the
responsibility Of home and house of
her own without possessing such knowl-
edge. Perhaps it il not essential that
she should be perfectly familiar with
every trifing detail, but she should be
sufficiently so to be thoroughly mistress
of her own house and to perfectly un-
derstand the all-important art of MAX
ing home comfortable and attractive"
Mrs Window th nks that woman is
deeply to be pitied who knows so little
of household affairs as to be absolutely
dependent upon the superior knowledge
Of a servant Yet how many woman
is there of the Dora Copperfeld type
who scarcely dares to give servants an
order because she feels that in all such
matters she is goose and the servant
knows she is.

society in the personal columns of the

dental part of every sensible g .rl's life,
and I believe that the girls who are
most attractive in society are those who
are most attractive at home.
From her earliest years every girl,
no matter what her station in life,
should be made to feel an interest in
all that pertains to housekeeping.

PERFECT GINGERBREAD.

The Ingredients to Be Employed and How
to Nix Them.
There are very few housekeepers who
do not think they know all about max
ing ginger bread but good ginger bread,
served as it should be- hot and delic-
ously tender and spicy. is not ordinarily
met with. 1t is true of ginger bread, as
of other cake, that the best results can
be obtained by using the best ingredi-
ents. Butter not lard, must be used for
shortening. Ginger bread will always
be tenderer if the soda used to raise it
is in the milk and poured hot over the
other ingredients. Sour cream is deli
cious in soft ginger cake. but ginger
bread is better made with sweet milk.
There is always enough acid in molas-
ses to act with the soda and raise the
cake without using sour milk or cream
of tartar. Mix together two cups of mo-
lasses and cup of softened butter.
Heat cup of milk and stir into it two
heaped teaspoonfuls of soda Add a
handful OF sifted -four to the molasses
and butter, and as soon as the milk and
soda boil pour them in and add flour till
the mixture is as stiff as itcan be stirred.
Flour board, lay the ginger bread on
it, dredge -four over it and roll it. Lay
it in sheets in buttered baking tin.
Crease it across and bake 1t in a very
quick oven till just done. If it is baked
too long it will dry; but if taken out at
the right time, tender and delicious. It
requires experience to take the cake out
at just the proper time and mix 1t to the
requisite softness. This cake was a
regular standby in one family, where
the table was noted for its epicurean
delicacies and fine cooking No one
seemed to prepare this ginger bread SO
perfectly as one old aunty whose name
this cake bore in the family. The Sc
cret OF her success was probably in her
rapidity of movement. The oven was
always hot before she began; and before
an ordinary worker had fairly begun
work her cake was in the oven and was
baked almost as soon and ready to serve.
