Hole )ou have the v. h) and the how I'hslologv, ns It relates to food, cloth ing bathing etc can bo mastered by any Intelligent woman In a short time. And so It Is with nil the sciences Tho most essential things for the housekeeper to know do not require very profound learn ing, nlthough the broadir the education tho bettti foi all women thi:ub IS NO WASTIJ. With accurate knowledge, i aoh step In a piotiss Is understood at the stait, nnd time Is no waste of tlmo or energy. To Illustrate this wo will take all the stops In n simple culinary operation Dump lings with a Btow. Now tl.ls Is a dish with which man) people nre never suc cessful Hero is the rule One pint of Hour, measured before sifting, ono and out-half tcaspoohfuls of baking powder. half u teospoonful of sugar, half a tea spoonful of salt, a small cupful of milk Mix the dry Ingredients and rub them through a sieve Stir In tho milk, and with a knife or spoon stir tho dough Into a smooth ball Clour the pnste boaid and turn the dough on this, and roll down to the thickness of about half an Inche generous Cut tin m Into round cakts Have tho stow where It will boll con tlnunll), but not burn Stir It anil place the dumplings on top Cover the kcttlo and cook tho dumplings Just ten minutes If all the directions havo been strlctlv followed, tho dumplings will be light delicate and tender Cook them under ten minutes and they will not be done enough, or over ten minutes, nnd they become henv) nnd soggy Now, the whole thing Is extremel) simple jet, ns I said at the beginning, dlfllcult for the nmateur. Yet the whole secret of success lies in the manipulation nnd the time of looking once having mastered this there Is no dlfllcultv Ten minutes' time will more than suffice for tho measuring and mixing of the dumplings, and the putting awn) of mnteilals nnd utensils after the woik Is done Tin re need be no question of uneertalnt), for It Is not a matti r of luck but of sell ntlfle knowledge nnd bo It Is through all tho culinary processes Two forces nre always nocesar) the phvslial and ohtmlial It Is not e-ough th it wi know the piopir proportions of the mati ilals to us ,lnil what the chemi cal action will bo but also that wo know how to manipulate the materials so that the best ii tults slnll be nttnlnod pli:. ron simpli: living. I want right hen to make n plea for n simpler mode of living nmong certain classes of people Among my own fliends and acquaintances, I see a phase of life this Is very hard for tho woman nt tho head of the house and very bad, from a moral point of view, for tho )oung peo ple growing up under such a condition of things As a people, we do not llvo as simply as wn could nnd should On nil hides ono sees tho struggle. of somo to live as will as their neighbor do, who have four or llvo time3 their Income It mukto ono heart-sick to reu tho constant strain that this brings on women who might otherwise tm twleo aa useful to them solvoa, thejr family and society. WI nt can life bo worth. If It must be a con stant effort to keep i-p an appearance, which Bunoi'iids us with people who do not caro for ua If wo are poor or IItc vary simply? Surely ono should not desire friends and noqualntanccs who value one for what one has and not for what one 13 Our true friends will vnluo us for wh"t wo art, nnd u slmplo home and a simple life which Is full of unselllshness nnd llllcd with high alms, will attruct better and more desirable pcoplo to uso thnn can th'n life of living up to, or bevond, our meiins. I would recommend to tho house keeper of limited means a simple plan for her llnanccB, which, I thlnlt, would relieve her of somo of the worry of how blllvnro to bo paid. HIMPLi: PLAN OP riNANcn. Having n monthly or weekly allowance, ns tho caso may be, use n set of envelopes which nre marked thus: Iient, fuel, light, sirvlce, butcher, vegetables unil fruit, groceiles, milk, butter, incidental Hnve a slip ot paper to put lu each envoi ope on which mny bo Jotted down nnv Item )otl mnv wish, Then dccldo how much can go Into each envelope for tho monthly or weekly expenses, nnd If possi ble, nt tho beginning of inch month, or week, put the amounts In ctiih envelope, and on no consideration spend more than )ou have planned for. If nt the end ot the month )ou nre oo fortunate as not to have spent nit you have put aside for ex penses, put that with )out savings. This s)sttm will Insure our keeping within jour means, at least. Cash pay ments nre gnat aids to econotn) When people nre rich, there Is no icason why they should not live sumptuously If they desire. I have boon talking us If the full fledged housekeeper was tho one whom I ex pected to tnke up tho subject of domestic economy I know that there nro many housckiipers who feel the necessity for such study nnd who will mnke thu effort to Inform themselves, but 1 feel Hint this work should begin with tho )oung clrls In our public nnd private schools. To make this movement universal, a It should bo, the mothers nnd fnthcrs must see the necessity for It, nnd through tho force of public opinion nnd voting for It, when on school boards, bring about the woik In the schools.
