I havo no mind to harrow up the
minds of my readers with any explica

confront the average housekeeper in the
daily maintenance of a simple but com

herself, an existence at all seems a strug
gle which at timtsshe would gladly give
over. One might define a heroine as Ihs
average American woman who dees her
own housekeeping. But rome hint of
tho unnatural and unhappy state of af
fairs existing at present nuy bodrduced
from tho consideration of two economic
facts. First, woman is, by nature, a
home-founder and a home-maker. This

not man, who made the first fire, and
the first utensils for cooking, and tho
first rude tools for industrial ends. AH
her activities clustered about the hearth
and ministered to the home. It tho wo
man and tho work had not reacted upon

be by nature home-makers and home
