IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPINGS
Many of the Old Customs and Com
dltlons Are Passlns Kntire
ly Away.
A generation ago to be an ideal house
keeper was the chief ambition of almost ;
every woman. No girl desired a fairer j
fate than to be placed at the head of a :
household with a good and loving hus
, band to supply all her wants and make 1
her the mistress and the queen of his
heart and his home. In most cases, says
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience in theart under the tuition j
of her mother. She loved to decorate and j
beautify the house which was to be her
home during the rest of her earthly pil
t grimage. She loved to create delicacies
for her husband and her children, and,
disguise it as we may, much of the af
fection she reoeived was due entirely to
i her skill as a homemaker. When her
! children grew up around her this kind
and sympathetic mother and the pantry
were the chief attractions in their world.
As they gre w older the ties only grew the
i stronger. When they acquired families
1 of their own the old homestead, with
its abundance of good things, still had
attractions for them. The kind old
I mother was still their best friend. She
knew all the difficulties they had to en
counter in starting homes of their own,
and her'advice and sympathy were
worth more to them than gold. The
i grandchildren came to venerate her as a
sort of venerable goddess, and when
she finally went away from the home
I circle she left a vacancy which could
| never be filled.
But we are assured with every symp
| tom of rejoicing that these conditions
i are passing; that women have been

sense pure and simple. It may be true
that there are more mannish women in
this generation than there were in the
last. It is unfortunately true that a
larger proportion of the female popula

the so-called “liberty” which goes with
tolling for a living.

“Darling,” he said, as he placed hla
arm around her waist and drew her ten
derly to his breast, relates the New York
Times, “why those pearly tears? Is the
home jhat I have brought you to less
magnificent than you expected?”
“Oh, n-no,” she sobbed. “Itisg-grand

“Have you found since our marriage
that I am less exalted than you had sup
posed me to be?"
“Oh, F-Fred, you are a th-thousahd
times more £xalt-t-ted than I thougBt
you to b-be.”
Stooping down he kissed away twd
large tears that were trembling upon her
long, graceful lashes, and asked:
“Has it grieved you to be taken front
your parents and the scenes of your
childhood, little one.”
“No, no, dear-dearest,” she replied,

is it so, sweetheart?”
“No,” she said, through a fresh burst
of tears, “it is not that.”
A look of deep perplexity overspread
his handsome visage, and, pushing her
back so that he could look down into
her big, beautiful, tear-dimmed eyes, he
asked:
“Then, what in the dickens is the
trouble?”
“I was j-just think-thinking,” she re
turned, “how miserable I should be if
you were to die and I w-were to marry
s-some one who wouldn't appreciate all
this magnificence.”
