FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

a little story I'm which a prospective
bride without particle of experience. or
even knowledge and maid who had been
thoroughly trained were the principals,
reached me. the other day. and l find il
TOO good 10 keep. The new home is very
pretentious and I presume that the young
lady was a bit oppressed by the burden
Of responsibility il carried At all events
she took the applicant for a position in
her family all over the place and called
her attention to the tasks she expected
TO be performed with startling frequency.
/ think the climax was reached when
the younger woman calmly announced
that every floor of the ten or twelve
rooms-some in hard wood. others merely
painted-were TO be washed up every
week The maid simply fed from a posi-
ton which her experience told her would
require more than one pair of hands the
greater part OF the twenty-fOUr hours. L
fancy the bride viii look a long time
before she finds girl who viii perform
the tremendous amount Of work in a
satisfactory fashion
If knew the young woman I would
feel like giving her some sensible advice
that would make life easier for herself
and husband. l know that a matron OF
experience is contemplating such a course.
but whether or not she has the courage
when the time arrives remains TO be seen.
The bride IS the daughter of hard working
parents who have given her all the COM
forts and many lUxures and the thing
doting American parents often do-spared
her from any share in the work of home
making. Now she has "A home Of her own,
larger and handsomer than any 20 which
she is accustomed. and there are per-
plexities in plenty just ahead of her.
Why do not mothers realize the value
of a domestic training? They expect
daughters 20 marry. but they cannot
possibly expect them all to marry into a
life of ease. Most men like a home. and
no matter how well equipped with helpers
there is much for the mistress of an
establishment 10 do unless she can afford
20 throw away money to secure ease.
Husbands strain every nerve to supply
money and they have every right TO
expect il TO be judiciously spent. and in
experienced, ignorant young wives can
hardly be expected to come anywhere near
their expectations.
I am not an advocate Of long engage
ments, but l believe 1t wise to allow
time for learning housekeeping before
marriage, even the early education in that
line has been neglected. I realize that the
girl who has had to earn a living could
not acquire much domestic knowledge, but
after she has agreed TO marry a man
she can always find ways of learning
from mother or other relatives or from
married friends If this is not possible be-
cause Of the necessity OF working
