IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of tho Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there Is an interesting presentation of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard OF young married
women Of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class OF generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help2 Following is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science OF bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties.
and church suppers. at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise"
