There is no greater injustice that can be inflicted upon a girl than for a mother to allow a daughter to enter womanhood or | Ww ifehood without a practical know ledge of | a household and its requirements, writes Edward W. Bok in “At Home with the Editor,” in the danuary Ladies’ Home Journal. No matter how easy her begin- ning may be made for her, how everything may be provided her by generous parents, when she begins her new career, nor how many servants she may have at her call, a woman is cruelly handicapped who comes to her own home without an_ intelligent conception of its management. It 19 a popular thing in certain “smart sets” to scoff at the utility of housekeeping, but nothing more — surely stam ps the intellectual calibre of a girl than an indulgence in such feather-brained commonplaces. The girl who believes she becomes fashionable by being untrue to the best instincts of her sex is the gir) who some day wakes upto wonder why other women are so happily married, and she still retains her single blessedness (?). Wealth does not lessen the necessity of a knowledge of home-making and home- keeping on the part of a girl. The largest retinue of servants requires a head, and an intelligent one, just as the Jar zest busi- ness requires a master, and servants, whether in a home or in an office, are quick to discover incapacity and take ad- vantage of it. The woman closest to the solution of the servant girl who comes under direction. and proper Airection’ re- quires knowledge. No stidy Ts more vita! toa girl than this. Many a girl, after marriage, has wished that she knew Jess of conic sections and more about cooking. The strongest love of a husband for a wife is not a safeguard for the discontent which is sure to enter a home wherg the wife be- trays constant domestic incapacity. If the expects the wife to be the master of her home. Writers and public speakers have done much harm in referring to cooking asa homely art; on the contrary no practical art exists which is more graceful. A woman who fills her home in every sense of the word elicits more trie applause, worthy at all of the having, than the woman gifted of any other quality.

This is not only a signal victory for this firm, but a most flattering tribute to the possibilities of our manufacturing industries in Can- ada. The judges on pianos at the Chicago Exposition made the follow ng report upon the Newcombe Pianos: “The Newcombe pianos receive an award for tone quality ofa high order of excellence, full and musical. with fine singing power and dur- ation, well-made anu well regulated action, firm, elastic and prompt toucn. , The best material and highest class of workmah- ship are found in these pianos.
