Many cook books are made, but for practical purposes, few of them are worth the labor and material put into them.  The very fact that there is always a market for cook books proves their inefficiency.  If housekeepers on trying and proving a recipe would at once copy in good ink or, if printed, paste in a scrap book, there ...]]></description>

Fashions in Dressing the Hair &#124; May 1892

The head at the extreme right of this illustration shows the hair dressed in a modification of the Greek Style.  This style requires slightly waved hair of a medium length.  The front locks are parted from one ear to the other, and combed loosely back, or waved, if necessary, with the curling irons.  ...]]></description>

The experienced traveler never makes the mistake of wearing jewelry or loud clothing, choosing instead a becoming and quiet suit, for those whom we casually meet measure us by our looks and behavior, not having had the opportunity of judging our personal worth.
A quiet, courteous, self-contained demeanor marks here, as always, the true lady.  She answers civil questions, or offers ...]]></description>

True courtesy implies a great many real virtues of self-restraint, gentle consideration and patience, even if it does not imply love.
Young girls should not wear costly jewelry, for simplicity is always the most becoming feature in youthful attire.  A simple gold neck chain with a pretty little pendant in the form of a heart, star or flower, is elaborate enough ...]]></description>

January, 1893
During the holiday season I have been brought in contact with large numbers of people and public fetes, and I have been struck by the great difference between the appearance and dress of the two.  The latter, for the most part, except among the extremely poor, are dressed far beyond the former, and beyond what the condition of the ...]]></description>

January, 1893
There is a womanly movement, aided by the strong-brained men, to start free kindergartens as a protection to society.
Neglected children, with a fair mental endowment, are often brutalized by hardships and suffering, during the very years that common humanity commands that they should have at least the comforts and play-time of an ordinary kitten.  The plan which may be ...]]></description>

It is never against any rule of etiquette to say or do a pleasant thing.  Etiquette means simply organized usages to prevent unpleasant situations.
In turning over the leaves of a book touch the uppoer corner of the right-hand page and turn it without rumpling the page.  It is violation of good sense and good manners to ill-treat a book.

A pretty ceiling decoration may be made with brass chains, dried grasses, and well-formed glass lamp-chimneys.
For the side walls use chromo lithographs, without frames, tacking them on with a piece of yellow or red braid as a border.  Avoid side lights, but if they must be used, let the light be from lanterns.
The chain circles around the glass chimney once, ...]]></description>
