EDITED BY MRS. E. F. EIXET, 



Author of " Women of the American Revolution." 



The original receipts and directions contained in this valuable work have 

 been furnished to the popular and practical editor by American Housekeepers 

 of long experience and tried skill. 



Unlike others of its class, its instructions are given from practical knowl- 

 edge; it is intended for utility, to satisfy a universal want; it only needs 

 to be consulted to become the invaluable companion nnd guide to every lady 

 who has charge of a household. 



Opinions of the Press. 



"This very excellent "work appears to us to be by for the most comprehensive and 

 philosophic, yet, at the same time, thorough and practical of any with which ve are 

 acquainted. It is far from being a mere collection of receipts scissored from any source, 

 and merely bundled together Wsell. It is, in the full sense of tho word, an original and 

 Bpiritcd work." — Phila. Evening Bulletin. 



"The largest and most comprehensive work which the requirements of the housekeeper 

 have yet called forth. It takes a common-sense view of every thin<r pertainins to domes- 

 tic management, vet gives it a higher place among the duties of women than the majority 

 of such works have seemed to accord. The author is a lady of refinement and education ; 

 one who has ideas beyond the kitchen and the store-room, yet who is fully alive to tho 

 importance of perfect familinrity with each on the part of a well-bred mistress of a 

 honfe." — Worcester Palladium. 



'■ Mrs. Eilet's study has been to reduce to practical rules the best theories concernins an 

 extensive and varied range of household duties, and to furnish simple and useful directions 

 in each branch of this interesting science. Care has also been taken to arrange the various 

 departments clearly and methodically. A carefully prepared an:l copious index points the 

 reader at once to the matter sought for. 1 ' — Canada Globe.
