Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Few adults lack interest in homelore, even among those who appear homeless. We hear shopgirls telling how to cook on an electric iron, travelers discuss chalk as a stain remover, and the world famous actress speeds to the pigs and chickens, when her season ends. Shifts and ex pedients for the home are eagerly read in the Sunday papers, and no two women chat without exchanging ideas on the multiform worries of the household. But, has anyone sorted and pub lished this homefy wisdom of the needle and the dish pan; these thousands of ideas on sanitation, on beauty, on comfort, on thrift, on harmony and stepsaving? Most homes not being competitive, lack efficiency, most cook books call for lavish butter and eggs, and domestic science schools, not having leaky utensils to repair, nor little children to be dressed in madeovers, cannot bridge the gap. Among our millions of homes few are able to turn all problems over to hired specialists. The worried fourteen-hour housewife has no time for elaborate scientific courses.
