Housekeeping is analogous to bust
ness; money must be spent to pro
duce certain results and the expense
bear proper relation to the health and
comfort derived from the expenditure.
It is in attention to details that an
honest return for money and service
spent is found. This means that the
hCusekeeper must have a system based
on a solid foundation, reinforced with
experience, experiments and investi.
cation. Then there will be no friction

she will use them carefully. She will
learn much from observation as she
helps you with the details of your
work and you can teach in the order
that circumstances make easiest.
The first thing to begin with is boil
ing. Many people who have cooked
for years in a haphazard fashion. do
not know when water is really boiling
For this lesson coffee making furnishes
a good demonstration, then vegetables,
then soup making, beginning with
vegetable soups first
BY this time the beginner will have
grasped the fact that boiling water
helps TO retain juices and extracts and
cool water softens fibers and you can
explain the secrets OF the frying pan;

cooking. which looks 50 easy, is slowly
taught.
Having learned TO make sauces and
to cook the meat m the simplest ways,
croquette making, scalloped dishes,
creamed meat and fish entrees will
prove easy.
Pastry and cake and dessert making
will have to be taught gradually, be
ginning with simplest batters. AS for
breakfast cakes and gems and biscuit;
bread making should not be attempted
for several weeks unless the maid is
especially apt. After the first few
weeks q cook book may be given and
should prove q great help, II 1t Is a
tested one and reliable. However, the
inability Co use recipes does not imply
that one cannot learn to cook. A stout
colered girl who could neither read nor
write comes to mind. She was very
observant and, though IS before she
entered a big house Kitchen totally
unframed, learned in six months the
rudiments of every day cookery and
table service and Is now a well-to-do
caterer.
