IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
lUar of tho 014 Custom* tad C*W

ir Aw*r.
A generation ago to be an ideal house
keeper was the chief ambition of almoet
every woman, No girl desired a fairer
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
her the mistress and the queen of hia
heart and hia home. In most cases, saya
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience in the art under the tuition
of her mother. She loved to decorate and
beautify the house which was to be her
home during the rest of her earthly pil
grimage. She loved to create delicacies
for her husband and her children, and,
disguise it as we may, much of the af
fection she received was due entirely to
hej skill as a homemaker. When her
children grew up around her this kind
and sympathetic mother and tv ' oantry
were the chief attractions in the** #orld.
As they gre w older the ties only grew the
stronger. When, they acquired families
of their own the old homestead, with
its abundance of good things, still had
attractions for them. The kind old
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
grandchildren came to venerate her as a
sort of venerable goddess, and when
she finally went away from the home
circle she left a vacancy which could
never be filled.
But we are assured with every symp
tom of rejoicing that these conditions
are passing; that women have been
emancipated; that In the future they are
to be the rival, Instead of the helpmate,
of man, and that they must combine to
enforce their just demands against the
hostility of the male sex. This Is non
sense pure and simple. It may be true
that there are more mannish women In
this generation than there were In the
j last, it is unfortunately true mai a
; larger proportion of the female popula
tion has been forced to he self-support
! ing, but it la not true that women enjoy
| the so-called “liberty” which goes with
j toiling for a living.
■ The home instinct is too deeply
planted in the heart of women to be re
moved by the effects of a generation of
club work. It will never be removed. A
| few women may go after strange gods,
but the natural, wholesome girl will still
And her highest ideal of happiness in
a good husband and a cozy home. The
clubs may succeed in making such homes
impossible to a few men and women by
making the young women feel that they
have a more important work in the
world than the prosaic duty of home
making, but among the masses of the
American people the mother will con
tinue to be the bond which unites the
unities of that holy institution the fam
ily, and she will continue in this exalted
i role until the end of all things.

pressing- Her.
“Darling,” he said, as he placed his
j arm around her waist, and drew her ten
derly to his breast, relates the New York
j Times, “why those pearly tears? Is the
: home that I have, brought you to lest*
; magnificent than you expected?”
“Oh, n-no,” she sobbed, “jit is g-grand
er tLan I dared to h-hope."
“Have you found since our marriagj
that I am less exalted than you had sup
| posed me to be?”
“Oh, F-Fred, you are a th-thousand
times more .exalt-t-ted than I thougBt
; you to b-be.”
Stooping down he kissed away two
large tears that were trembling upon her
long, graceful laches, and asked:
“Has It grieved you to be taken from
! your parents and the scenes of your
childhood, little one.”
“No, no, dear-dearest,” she replied.
| “I would g-gladly go anywhere w-with
you.”
“Great heavens!” he cried, In wild
alarm. “Perhaps you are ill. Tell me,
is it so, sweetheart?”
i “No,” she said, through a fresh burst
| of tears, “it is not that.”
a iuuk ui ueep perplexity overspread
his handsome visage, and, pushing her
back so that he coul,d look down into
her big, beautiful, tear-dimmed eyes, h*
asked;
“Then, what in the dickens is th*
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-sorne one who wouldn't appreciate ail
this magnificence.”
