Which Tasks?
florence Riddick Bogs

The housewife who wishes to
$50 her time to the best advan-
tooe is often confronted with the
nroblem of what to do herself,
and what to hire done, what to
buy readymade and what to make
a. home. There are tasks in which
tba housewife has no choice; she
mist do them. Others she pre-
fers to do, without regard to the
money value. There are some
tasks which she may do and save
~ the family only a few cents
an hour, hole others might save
two or more dollars an hour.
The pleasure with which the
housewife does certain piece of
work, her skill at it, whether it
has an effect on her health or
;nconyeniences the family are all
to be taken into account. But
these being equal, it is much bet
ter to spend her time at those
;obs which make the greatest
cheaper. If the job requires much
hand work or brain work, she can
save money by doing that for the
price of it will not be low. This
rule is not always true, but proc
tically so.

The housewife, by giving the
matter careful study, can figure
out for herself just what jobs it
pays to do and which to leave to
others. By wisdom in this, she
will not only make her life more
pleasant and save herself much
useless labor and expenditure of
time; but she will save the fam
lily money which is some consid-

hire or to buy where the differ
ence is but little.
For example, one may do fine
laundering or dry cleaning or
make fine silk garment or a
hat OF a lamp shade or any nov
city which requires ingenuity and
nd work, and save much
money at it; while one might can
corn or make cotton work dress
and find that the materials cost
almost as much as she would pay
for similar ready-prepared ar

The housewife cannot compete
with highly mechanical indus
