Shall .we board or keep house? i This is usually among the first questions asked when a young couple marry, and the reason for or aaainst it reveal a great variety of opinions. I am constantly receiving letters of in-I quiry on this subject. With much pain I see how poorly prepared many of our young ladies are, through mis- taken indulgence of mothers, for the superintendence of household cares and l duties, so I shrink from attempting an ! answer; but a letter just received is so ' much in earnest that I feel it a duty to give it my attention.

But I am peculiarly situated. I have lived for twenty years with no care and with an abundance of every- thing desirable. I have never given economya thought. Can you not see that it must be almost impossible for me to undertake the cares _of house- keeping under circumstances that make it necessary that the work--even if not done by my own hands--should he, must be wholly under my constant supervision? What kind of a house keeper could you expect me to make? ONE CASE IN POINT, I have just learned that by sudden reverses my parents cannot start me in my new life as elegantly as they have always expected to do. In a few weeks I am to be married to a man not rich, but I think worthy of any sacrice or hardship on my part that I am capable of giving. He earnestly desires me to consent to begin housekeeping as soon as we are married. I am unwilling to do so, because, knowing how ignorant and incapable I am, I am condent boarding must be wiser and safer. than my unskillful housekeeping. But my future husband promises to be patient with my shortcomings and work enough harder to replace all I waste while learning. young people to go to housekeeping at once, instead of boarding. Of late I ol ste Poor fellow l He little dieaml with what. an ignorsmus he,is about to risk his comfort and perhaps his life's happiness. Why, I know absolutely nothing of what I am just realizing `is of the greatest importance, if one would secure a happy union. T I causing, I can dance well, I can 1 paint, am skillful with my needle in i fancy work; but for useful, necessarv work I am as helpless and ignorant as a child. Ah! If my parents had lavished half the money that was expended to make me accomplished in the eyes of the fashionable world in teaching me te be a good housekeeper, how happy I should now be, and how bright the future would appear! I have good health, and if I only knew how to do anything useful I would shrink from no hardship." But. alas!` `I know nothing useful. And. this foolish lover of mine!

No matter if you are awkward and un I skillful atfirst, be" hopeful and you-will ` nd that to become a good housekeeper `and a good home-`maker is not a very hard thing, if you will only be courage- ous and persevering as you were when learning to paint, to dance or sing.` However, ignorant you may be, how- ever small audsimple the apartments ' you must otcupy, do not let the first years of married life be passed in a boarding-house. It is no place to learn each other's characters, to become accustomed to the pecularities that, always do nd a place in every individ- ual. It is no place `to call home. ' econ While you two who have just been made one are the only occupants of your new house, happy are you if you keep no servants. In this early stage of married life to venture on boarding or risk discomfort of having 9. servant is to lose the sweetest experience of 9. true home. No matter how heavy or how lightthe purse may be, if you are wise, you will `begin small. 1 II .`I ll 1' _'J,,,, mIn a. small house, before the olive branches begin to cluster around you, to tell you that ` The cottage is too small And the table wsnteth space," you will have become better scqusinted with all the details of home labor, and _will not so much heed the additional VVIII II\lV LI IIIIIUII Il\J\l\ IIIQII In\o\n-v-wa--- tax on your. eneries-of olive branches -or the additional care of servants, which with iucreasingduties may have become by this time indis- pensable.

The road to such knowledge as will enable you to form correct ideas of theiwork before you is not so long or halt so diicult as your` fears have led you to imagine.

Learn all about marketing-what articles are most desirable, and during what seasons. Learnhow to judge of the quality of` the food you buy,` and the honest price for it.
