Method in Homework.

A young and inexperienced housewife
often begins her married life with an idea
that the number of duties that lie before
her are positively appalling and with
the belief that unless she gives up every
thing that interested her before marriage
she cannot possibly pull through.
Following such a belief she is after
ward found in the tolls of multitudinous
trif1ing duties without moment for her
self. Yet II a method had been mapped
out from the first she might have kept
her old interests. and all would have
gone well.
For instance. all jobs on one floor should
be in sequence. and all comparatively dirty
jobs, such as busting. lamp cloaning ar
ranging flowers. and so forth, should be
finished OF before needlework, or any,
thing requiring equally clean hands. is
entered upon, says Woman's Life. If you
neglect these little points half the morn
ing is absorbed in running up and down
stairs and washing hands. in talking of
what is going to be done and trying to re-
call what you were on the point of COM
mencing.
