HOUSEWIrERY AND INDUSTRY.


The expenses of your house will be
large or small, as you are bad or good
housekeeper.
Among the most homely. but most es-
sential accomplishments of a roung
woman is that of housewifery.
Laziness is very apt to come with
wealth, and there are undoubtedly a
great many more lazy girls now than
SO years ago, but there are no more nat
urally lazy girls in the world than
usual.
Girls who acquire really good edu-
ration now accomplish much more gem
ulne hard work than those in "the good
old times, who only learned to read and
write, and occupied the most of their
time in the kitchen and dairy.
Nothing that can be called education
and accomplishment can be achieved
without great labor. and the principal
reason why good housewifery is so
much neglected as an accomplishment
is that the tisne is so much occupied in
study. G. Holland.
