mothers interests me as one of the
guild and | should like to give an
opinion from a Southern standpoint
OF course housekeeping is to the aver
age woman just precisely what any
daily employment is TO the man; and
as some men are f1rst-rate men of bust
ness, some mediocre, and others fail
ures, so is it with the housekeeper, and
! suppose always has been. However
from what one learns from books and
experiences of the older housekeepers
now on the retired list. one cannot but
conclude that our foremothers were SUI
perior to ourselves in the management
of the house. 1t seems 10 me that q
variety of reasons is responsible for this
degeneration upon our parts. Upon IN

duties and distractions; that is. outside
of the immediate care of the house it
self. In those times the children of the
family usually went away to a boarding
school when very young, eight or nine;
had very short vacations, and thus the
mother had much more leisure.
Then books were scarce and magazines
few and expensive; it is astonishing to
this generation to find how little reading
was INDUCED in by the women OF the
family-spare moments were spent IN
embroidery for use in place of the ma
chine-nade trimmings OF our day, but
from what I can learn the average we'll

cleaned. furniture polished. etc. mod

be rubbed up, aeticles in magazines and

for the questions which are pretty apt
TO come; all this takes time.
