A sensible writer answers the
question When should our girls
marry?-sensiby by saying that
age was of secondary consideration;
the main thing is for them to un-
derstand the duties of managing
home. Every man who marries has
a right to expect his wife to be a
competent housekeeper. No mat
ter how plain the house may be, it
it is in accordance with the hus-
bands means and he finds it neatly
kept, and the meals (no matter how
simple) served from shining dishes
and clean table linen, that hus-
band will leave his home with loving
words and thoughts and look ahead
to the time when he can return.
Let girl play the piano and ac-
quire every accomplishment within
her power, the more the better, for
every one will be that much to be
used in making a happy home. At
the same time, if she cannot go in
to the kitchen, if necessary, and
prepare just as good meal as any
one could with the same material,
and serve it neatly after it is pre-
pared she had better defer her mar
riage until she learns. If girls would
thoroughly fit themselves for the
position OF intelligent housekeepers
before they marry there would be
fewer discontented, unhappy wives
and more happy homes.
