Aquilina, Ex- eter, to Gregory Walter, only son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Spencer, Hensall. The Reverend H. R. Montgomery officiated for the ceremony. The bride chose an original ivory peau de soie gown styled on princess lines with flowing back shoulder panel extended in- to a train. She carried a cascade of white roses and trailing ivy. The bride and groom were attended by Miss Cathy Turner of London, and Mr. Roger Cann of Waterloo University. A wed- ding reception followed at Glen Allen. The bride is a graduate of St. Michael's School of Medical Re- cording Librarians, Toronto, and was on the staff of St. Joseph's Hospital, London. The groom is a graduate of University of Western Ontario and is at present on the teaching staff of Annandale Sec- ondary School in Tillsonburg. A Home Cook Book, compiled by ladies of Toronto and chief cities and towns of Canada and published in 1877, points out the differences between the homemaker of the 1880s and of today in social observances, in the feeding and caring for her family and in her kitchen and its utensils. The book is indeed a treasure owned by Mrs. Eileen Fulcher and in the foreword states that 'ewe have no schools of cookery in our Dominion where our young ladies may learn that art which the ancients deemed second only to medicine. The Home Cook Book is intended to supply the place of such a school." In the first chapter on ',House- keeping" is written "Success in housekeeping adds credit to the woman of intellect, and lustre to a woman's accomplishments. It is a knowledge which it is as discreditable for any woman to be without as for a man not to know how to make a living, or how to defend himself when attacked. So, no matter how tal- ented a woman may be, or how useful in the church and society, if she is an indifferent house- keeper it is fatal to her in- fluence, a foil to her brilliancy and a blemish in her garments." Futhermore is stated "There is no earthly reason why girls from eight to eighteen should not learn and practice the whole round of housekeeping, from the first beating of eggs to laying carpets and presiding at a din- ner party, at the same time that they go on with music, lang- uages and philosophy. The wealthiest women of the oldest families in society are not above seeing to household duties them- selves and they know how it should be done. If Mrs. Smith's sitting room is always neat and fresh it is because she sweeps it with tea leaves and sponges the carpet with ox gall and dusts it with a damp cloth and keeps a doormat on the porch." Here is another injunction: ',and don't let anybody lay it to you that you are pampering your family and devoting your- self to a low sphere of action. You are doing no such thing, but are giving them strong, active bodies, steady nerves and tem- pers and clear brains to meet their work with. By just so much as you neglect your part of the work, they will fail in theirs. You are the engineer to feed the fires and keep the wheels oiled and the whole family system depends on you. Don't dare to call such work low." In a portion of the book devoted to ',Social Observances" are these rules: The simplest society duty is, that of making calls. A newcomer should return each call within two weeks after it is made. Calls are due a hostess two days after a dinner party and a week after a small party. From three to six are proper calling hours and a visit may be from five min- utes to half an hour — never long- er.
