What Has Been Worth While? 
It would not only be interesting but 
of value to young housewives if women 
who have reached middle age, while liv¬ 
ing on farms, could take a look back¬ 
wards and decide as to just what had 
been worth while during their years of 
experience in the way of house furnish¬ 
ing. How many are assured that they 
expended their money wisely when buy¬ 
ing their first furnishings? Was too 
much placed in the parlor, and too little 
in the kitchen? Were comfortable beds 
and abundance of good plain bedding 
sacrificed to silver and china for com¬ 
pany’s use only? Was the present and 
prospective income considered, and the 
monev at hand used accordingly? Pos¬ 
sibly a young wife is justified in buying 
the so-called, unnecessaries if they yield 
contentment, for contentment in home¬ 
making is worth while, even if there is a 
lack of stewpans and washtubs. And 
there is the feeling that the real necessi¬ 
ties will come from the mere force of 
necessity, and come gradually, piece by 
piece, and at small cost, as compared to 
the desirables, which are frequently the 
expression of a vain ambition. 
In determining as to just what has 
been worth while, can extremes be 
avoided? One young woman expended 
so much on her wedding clothing and a 
trip to Europe, that when she came to 
housekeeping she had so few dishes and 
cooking utensils that she had to wash 
more or less of dishes before food could 
be served at the table. At the time she 
may have felt that she had made a mis¬ 
take in her wedding finery and wedding 
trip; but in case she lives to celebrate 
her golden wedding, will not the memory 
of that European trip be worth while, 
and in the meantime the lack of crockery 
and stewpans will have been forgotten? 
In housefurnishings, how can com¬ 
fort, good taste and economy be made 
to harmonize? Can the older house¬ 
wives from their wise and unwise in¬ 
vestments render aid to the young wives 
who have a home to furnish in the near 
future? Is it possible with a limited 
amount of money to avoid extremes, and 
escape humiliation at any part of the 
housefurnishings, and feel that all is 
worth while? medora corbett.
