She is learning how just as fast as
she can. Mrs. Vaughn says that this
indifference to household matters has
almost, if not quite gone out of fashion
and she gives a large share of credit
to domestic science teaching. Women
are coming more and more to look up
on housekeeping as an art, differing
from other arts perhaps, in that the
personal element is stronger; the mo-
tive of love is not alone the love of
art, but the love of these for whom the
art is practiced.
