If you are not hay. learn at once to be so; there is no time like the present to begin. Have system for the hub of the house- work wheel. and let every spoke or branch of the work be governed by it, writes Aunt Margaret. Wilhout system no great amount of work can be accom- plished. Have a place for everything, and see that everything is in its place. If you have not been doing this, begm at once, and see how much easier the work becomes. Rise early. Wash in cold waler, which brings the roses to your cheeks. Brush and coil your hair in a tasteful manner. Do not neglect this, as no husband wish- es to sit opposite an untidy wife, with her hair in strings around her face and neck at breakfast lime.

ADVICE TO YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS I take great pride in keeping my house nice, and you must, too, if your inâ€" fluence is going to count {or anything good with growing daughters around you. Teach them as they grow year by year to be sysiematic in all that they do. My daughters are gone to homes of their own. and are good housekeepers and homemakcrs, and I can 'lI'uIy say it pays to have system. Teach system in house- work. - ' "l‘be explanation is perfectly simple,’ replied the wife. ‘When you give me a lot of mony 1 use it to pay the debts I get into when you don’t give so much.’ Just why ihis sort of thing should go on is hard to explain. It seems just im- possible for a woman to ask for money without feeling that in some way she shouiu have made the last go further, though she may have done her best and, indeed, done wonders with it. Then it seems impossible for most men to rea- lize that the household expenses are not all to be charged to the woman‘s ac- count, but that the home is run equally for both. A careful calculation by both together of what should be spent, and then a special place, a bank account if feasible, if not, then a box or bag in the honi‘e where a definite sum is placed each week, will leave the housewife free from the feeling of begging. free to save for a new dish or carpet, free to spend in the best way. To be truly selfish one must. live most unselfishly. All things come from with- i n. Children should be taught that dis- eases ui‘e self-caused, iniemperance be- ing the chief instrument. It the overâ€" indulgent parent of to-day could be made to see that for its own good a child must live unselfishly,) the coming generation would be greatly benefited.
