More than this, it is well for her to know some

Take a Course in Housekeeping

She had not known that she could hardly
have the lobster boiled and the meat taken
out unless she made stipulation to that eff
feet, and it had not occurred to her that it
was not the business of the fshman to open e
the sardines and prepare the fish for cooking.
There are many other blunders like this
made by ignorant young housekeepers, and
the comic papers are full of poor jokes made
at their expense. Even If you may not make
gross errors. you yet increase your cares and
the cost of living by not knowing how things
are to be done. If you to have servants to
direct, you put yourself at disadvantage by
having no knowledge of how the different de-
partments of the household to be conducted and
by your ignorance of what is wrong if dish fails
or the clothes not done up properly
So advise all you girls TO take course in house
keeping Learn the simple things that every one is
supposed to know how to do and that just for this
reason seldom done well. Learn how to make
coffee pot, but the good old boiled coffee that may
be made in tin pail if your French drip or other
patent coffee pot Is not at hand. Practice making
biscuit even if you don't undertake bread and
learn how TO make quick mullins and griddle cakes,
to bake potatoes and to stew them, to broi steak
or a chop, to boil or poach an egg. Gain a little
knowledge of soup making and of roasting or stew
ing. Many girl can make delicious cake and Jelly
and other sweets who would be filed with conserna-
ton if she asked to roast piece of beef The
cake is very well in its place. but the substantials
stand you better In the long run.

An Old Maids Paradise

Even if none of these things happens I can
hardly believe that you look forward with
/ equanimity to an old age in hotel or
boarding house. Have not all of you dreams
of one day possessing a little home of your
owns There may not be a In It. It may
be an old maids paradise, shared by brother,
sister, friend, or it may be only solitary
establishment. But you anticipate having
| such nest one of these days after the first
y stress of life is past. The older you grow and
Il the more weary you become the more you will
look forward to 1t. Do you recolect the
charming little poem of Kingsleys:
s'When all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees ara green;
And every goose swan, lad,
And every lass queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
And round the world away;
Young blood must have Its course, lad,
And every dog his day.
When all the world is old, lad,
And all the trees are brown;
And all the sport Is stale, lad,
And all the wheels run down.
Creep home and take your place there,
The spent and manned among;
God grant you find one face there,
You loved when all was young"
