The theorists seers to imagine that such a change can be accom- pllshed right about face—overnight, in the twinkling of an eye.

Cooking she may be taught, and cleaning she may learn, but the basic princitdea and habit are not picked up so readily. Many a time have I said to a maid: 'Had you gone to kinder- garten you would never have piled your dishes and saucers like that.'
