house and furnishings. Cordial hospitality and good 

 manners will beautify the simplest home. 



The house should be small and attractive, with a

of small gardeners can take possession each day, and go 

 through all the operations of housekeeping; sweeping, 

 dusting, washing windows, scrubbing floors, washing, 

 ironing, sewing, cooking, serving little meals to each 

 other, and receiving guests. 



Here the instructor can show them the various ways 

 to use their garden crops, and serve them attractively, 

 and all the little ways of lightening household labor. 

 When the right spirit is infused, the honor of being 

 a housekeeper will be eagerly sought.
