It has often perplexed me that housekeepers react so little to the lure of their woria, thework of mak- ing and keeping the home the sort of a place hone should be. . "Lure," some weary housewife exclaims, -"what lure is to be found in cooking meals, making bed9, washing dishes? It is drudgery in the extreme." But is it? Now I know all about what it means to cook meals, wash dishes and make beds. I was brought up in the good old-fashioned way and learned all about housekeeping from my earliest years. I know just how monotonous it can become and how tired of it a housekeeper can be. But any woman feels much more self - there is no more need for a house- respecting when neatly garbed in a keeper feeling her lot hard than for any other worker. little conventions are observed as a matter of course, are happier tha i those who livr ;in a lxaphazzard sort of way. They are also, when the tine' comes, much better fitted to go out into life. But ;I believe that the reason why so many women despise housework. is just because they do not dignify it sufficiently.. They de not place up- on it the high value it should have. Wchat" could be more important than keeping the `home, where husband and children and sheltered,, fed and cared for? A woman writer recent- ly''had the following to say about this very thing' and it so -'aptly ex- presses what 2 mean .that I'm going to quote: "And it is because Women have no pride in their .work that they have no joy in it and why they -complain of the monotony -of housework. All work is monotonous. You go through the sane motions every time you sell a bill of goods or type a letter or build a locomotive and you cars put just as Mauch variety into mak- ing soup and experimenting with new effects in sauces as you can in painting "a picture or pulling off a big business deal.". The ;• housewife should not only magify her own office but she should insist upon her family treat- ing it with respect. Another reason why many women hate housework is because they al- ways wear their old, worn out and shabby clothes when engaged in it. When a woman has a job in an of- fice, school or factory she usually dresses neatly and carefully before going out to that work. Too often the housewife rolls up her hair in any old way and grabs any old sort of dress to go down in the morning to prepare breakfast for her hus- band and family.. But that is not necessary. It takes very few min- utes longer to dress properly and to do one's hair becomingly, even you do don a dust cap later to do the morning work. - The wearing of neat, washable dresses at work may add a little to the labour in the laun- dry but it is labour well spent, for Housekeeping is ten times more varied than dozens of " other jobs which women take up. It •isn't to be compared for monotony with fac- tory work, where a girl spends her days doing the same thing over and over again, day after day, week af- ter week. It is at least no more monotonous than teachings, where the same lessons are gone over day after day, and week after week, with little variation and frequent reviews. It should not be any more monotonous than standing behind the sane coun- ter six days in the week, trying to suit the whims of custoiners who are none too easy to please. Three meals have to be prepared each day, of course, and clearing up done afterwards. But the wise house- keeper, for her own sake and the sake of her family need not prepare the same sort of meals every day. She will vary them as much as she can; she will have little surprises for her family; she will serve her meals attractively , and will encourage her family to coin to the table with. clean hands and faces and neat at- tire; she ' will encourage bright, cheerful conversation at table, so that the family will look forward to meal time with antieipation, not only of the satisfaction. of physical hun- gar, but also of intellectual and spir- itual nourishment. Then the bugbear of dishwashing! "The enjoyment of a good meal is often spoiled for me," a very bright, intelligent girl once confessed to me, "by the thought of all the dishes which will have to be washed up af- terwards." That never bothered me particularly. Given plenty of hot water, some mild soap and plenty of clean some the task of washing even a big batch of dishes is not sucha colossal job. But some object that it is hard on the hands. Well, per- haps it is a bit. But if you are care- ful to use clean water, not allowing it 'to get too greasy, ,and use a mild, not a coarse soap, and if you are careful to wash your hands &ter - wards in soft warm water if possible, rinsing them off with cold water and, if they are very sensitive, rub- Bing„ in a little vanishing cream, dish -washing may not be nearly so hard on the : hands as many other things. Black -leading a stow or scrubbing was always much harder on mine. But do people black lead stoves or scrub nowadays? Probably not, . Many people use rubber gloves for rough work. I never had 'but one pair in my life .and never made much use of them. Making beds may be monotonous work but if the members of the fam- ily are taught to keep their belong- ings in reasonable order, to hang things "tip and put away in drawers things which should be put away, the daily making of beds and tidying up of the rooms need not he such a task, 'Order means a lot to a home. There is nothing so nerve -wrecking to the sensitive woman as disorder. A. system of housekeeping, having a place for everything .and reasonable insistence on everything being .kept in its place, is a great help in the home . where one pair of hands has most of the work to do. Children can as easily ke taught to be neat and orderly as not, if . taken in time and, this is a truth which many have not yet learned, the child wlio is taught to wait on itself, 'who is brought tip ,in a hosne. where order and obedience ?to certain rules aro insisted, upon,.: where meals are serv- ed in an orderly manner and certain clean dress and apron than when wearing some old, shabby, not too clean, dress. It is questionable econ- omy to wear out one's afternoon dresses in the kitchen, unless they are very plain ones and may be washed. Usually a dress too far gone for mother to wear may be made over for the small daughter, or into a slip, or given to someone who can still get some wear out of it. A fussy afternoon dress is out of place in a kitchen. Only plain, washable dresses aro suitable there. The plain house dresses now in vogue are a boon to housekeepers, who can don them and look as smart as any office girl, and they are so easy to get into that it is no trouble at all to- change. It is a matter of just thinking so, this matter of keeping oneself neat "THE, CONFEDERATION" OF- FERS PLEASANT TRAVEL TO THE .WEST You'll bnjoy your Western trip Via "The Confederation".

" A wo- man once said to me, "I never yet appeared ' at the breakfast table without being fully dressed frhm top to toe, with my,hair done and my collar fastened. If'`I had to have breakfast early I rose that much earlier. I• should be ashamed to have my husband See Me looking untidy" And that woman is today, although past the fourscore mark, as neat and attractive in appearance as any girl of twenty. She worked hard, reared' a family of children and her house was always a centre of hospitality. She dignified her calling as a house- keeper and was repaid by the re- spect 'and' devotion of her husband and family- and the esteem of her friends.
