IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
—
Many of the Old Custom* and Con
dition* Are Fannins' Entire
ly Away.
—
A generation ago to be an ideal house- j
keeper was the chief ambition of almost
every woman. No girl desired a fairer 1
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 j
her the mistress and the queen of his j
heart and his hoVe. In most cases, says
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience in theart 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
her skill as a homemaker. When her
children grew up ar^lSd her this kind
and sympathetic mother and the pantry
were the chief attractions in their world.
As they grew 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- j
counter in starting homes of their own,:
and her advice and sympathy wTere j
worth more to them than gold. The j
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 l
never be fillei
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
j to be the rival, instead of the helpmate,
j 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
last. It is unfortunately true that a
I larger proportion of the female popula
tlon has been forced to be self-support
ing, but it is not true that women enjoy
the so-called “liberty” which goes with
tolling 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 re'moved. A
few women may go after strange gods,
but the natural, wholesome girl will still
find 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
] role until the end of all things.
WHAT DROVE HIM TO DRINK.
She Was Happy and Yet There Wai
an Awful 1’osslliiltty Op
pressing Her.
“Darling,” he said, as he placed his
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 less
magnificent than you expected?”
“Oh, n-no,” she sobbed. “It is g-grand
er than I dared to h-hope.”
“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-thousand
times more exalt-t-ted than I thougfit
you to b-be.”
Stooping down he kissed away two
large tears that were trembling upon her
long, graceful lashes, 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?”
“No,” she said, through a fresh burst
j ui letus, 11 is uui uiiii.
A look of deep perplexity overspread
i his handsome visage, and, pushing her
i back so that he could look down into
| her big, beautiful, tear-dimmed eyes, he
■ asked:
“Then, what in the dickens is the
j trouble?”
“I was j-just think-thinking,” she re
| turned, “how miserable I should be if
j you were to die and I w-were to marry
s-some one who wouldn’t appreciate all
this magnificence."

Pearson’s Magazine appeals to t very member of the family. In the words of

the very best sellers. Its field is a general one of wholesome entertainment and
instructiveness.
