THE DUTCH HOUSEWIFE.
Amounts Almost to a
Craze.

The Dutch woman is before and
above all things u housewife. Indeed,
her love of home comes very near akin
TO worship, and the greatest. compli-
ment that can be paid to her is o praise
the neatness and sweetness of the
house that is her kingdom. says the
Girls Realm. She is famous all the
world over for her remarkable cleanli-
Eess, and even in the very poor quar-
tiers of the cities where the houses are
small and crowded together, the win
dows are daintily decked with cur
tains of spotlcss white, the rooms we'll
swept and tidy, the humble furniture
carefully busted and polished.
This desire for cleanliness, in fact,
almost amounts to n craze, and house
wivesand servants alike evince strong
partially for scrubbing, cleaning and
washing. Even i'll well-to-do families
n domestic training is considered nat
ural end necessary adjunct of the
daughters education, and each has GER
tain household duties apportioned to
her. She is likewise taught to make
her own dresses, to knit her own stock
ings and to keep her wardrobe in re-
pair.
Nor does she shirk these duties, as it
is to be feared so many Of her English
sisters do; on the contrary, they are
carried out faithfully. cheerfully and
as matter Of course, and it is due to
this excellent training in her girlhood
days that the Dutch woman makes so
model housewife. We might go fur
Their and say that it is through this
training that the Dutch girl has earned
the reputation of being "free and light
Of heart, and a stranger to the feeling
OF ennui," since she is always health
fully and helpfully employed.
