Housekeeping a Profession.

Housekeeping is as much Of profess
sion as law, journalism or any OF the
professions which one has to study well
to make a success, according to one who
is a model housekeeper and vet finds
time for many outside interests. She
declares that too many women take up
housekeeping without the necessary prep
aration, thinking that any woman can
learn IL from experience, and do not
place the proper value OF Importance
upon the work. No man would under
take to open law Office without years
of preparation, yet many women VIII
Join a partnership for the opening OF a
home without the least training for the
work, not realizing that much OF the
pleasure that the family will derive from
the home will depend on the work and
management Of the housekeeper.
With the many interests that occupy
the women of to-day, there has been
tendency with some to undervslue the
work in the home. The necessity and
custom for girls 10 become wage learners
have had an influence toward carrying
the endeayors and interest into other
channels; but, according 20 the STATE
ments of this woman. who is well known
because of her broad work outside Of
her home the home is woman's most i'm
portant place Of activity. There is one
here or there whose outside work needs
all of her time. but these cases are the
exception. for with the majority of won
en- the home Is the center and from there
ones interest radiates to other activities.
Civic, social, artistic and educational
work is often better done because OF
the home environments, and the home
where system, harmony and happiness
reign cannot but have the same effect
on the other interests in which one Is
engaged.
There is much more comprised under
the heading good housekeeping than
many realize; Il does not mean that II
