HOUSEKEEPING.

a*™* Practical Directions in the Hygiene 80016 r of Family Duties.

i Every woman needs to take regular xifm in the open air every clay; and SSrSie should not be in the nature of work, but of recreation. 7 As a rule, housekeepers need to eat JL of simple food. If the food is simpler u« time will be needed in its prepaartion, ndwhatitlacksin unwholesome richness Lmw>cessary variety it will gain in nu- WD improvement in the health of all tl-e lily, and will injure no one bub the dt? r£o SS time ought to be given to the routine work of housekeeping and more to relaxation and recreation. All that "the Lt of wives " did nob do, and for the lack of which she became an inmate of an in sane asylum, the housekeeper ought to do. The woman who " always stays at home," w bo "never goes out of the house, even on Sundays," and who is " always doing some ■ Dune for her family," not only will have "no ideas outside of home," but will soon come to have none even there. The short of the matter is, that women if they desire good health must not be con fined so closely to the cares of the household. I know that many women- will look upon this advice as absurd, and will say, "It is all very easy for you to preach, but quite another thing for us to practise. A woman's duties involve a multitude of little the irnpoi-tance of which a man Beyer, realises until they are omitted, and then he is the first to find fault. These things must be done. I cannot gfcop, I cannot find time to take out-of door exercise and visit my neighbours." Nevertheless, the fact remains, that when serious illness come 3to the mistress of the house the wheels of the treadmill cease to revolve, at least for her. Then the work either stops entirely or goes on under other hands and is cared for by other heads. Thfl, question is a pertinent one — •would it not be better to do less work white in health, and thus avoid the sickness ? And even hired help is less expensive than medical attendance. The 'oHmaxims, "A stitch in time saves nine," ifid "An ounce of prevention in worth a pound of cure," are worthy of consideration in this connection.
