Its Bewilderments and Beati- tudes. Kitchen Curiosities--Domestic: Dilemmas ---Homes vs. Hash-Houses, Fritlen for The Chicaao Tribune, It waa quite a relief to have people stop ask- I ing, * Have you found a house yet ?" and query instead, “* Well, how do you like Housekeep- ing?" They began asking the latter gquestion after the householders had slept one night in their new domicil, and thoy have kopt.on asking ever since. It was something of a study in human naturs to the now Housewife to sechow her answers were received. There was one mel- ancholy, dyspeptic scquaintancs, who, be- ing assured that she enjoyed it except whem it raiped on wash. ing-days (which it - generally dia), would shake his head and rejoin ominonsly, *Oh! you'll find out,” and the secret forexnowledge of the futare diecovery seemed to give hima gloomy joy. There were other scquaintauces, who, having learned the rent of the cosy liitle home, shook their beads over its magnitude, convincod that they themselves conld-have done better, and remarked that the new Housekoep- ers had paid too high for their carpets, and dis- covered scratches on the new furniture; and pointed ont the doors that wonlin't shut, and .the blinds that wouldn't catch, and wers full of impracticable suggestions. and impossible re- forms. But » couple who bave emancipated themselves from the horrors of boarding-houses, and have piloted themselves through tho perils of house-burting and furniture-buying, and accomplished the hercalean task of bringiog the Gas Company to the finalo of putting in the meter, snd bave succeoded at last in having the water tumed on, may well settle themselves firmly on the rock of domestic content, aud defy the onslaughts of adverso criticiam. At first, there was an OPFRESEIVE SENSE OF NEWNESS upon eversthing. The Head of the House, who bad been accustomed to take his evenmg cigar strolling forlornly up and down before the marble-front hash-houses on Wabash avenue, could bardly realize that he was indeed privi- leged to be the sole occupant of alittle green sanctum, with & big leathor-covered chair, and every facility for bringing his heels to the level of his head. An indescribable, ever-pervading conaciousness-of feminine antagonism to smoke still oppressed him, and impaired the flavor of his meerschaum. But by degresa ths nuveity wore away, and in its place oame the calm, rest- ful satisfaction which & man takes in haviog a den of his own. towhose seclusion he can betake himaelf in solitade. or in masculine companion- ship, and whose general air shall in itsolf be enough to make any invading female fecl out of ince. It was oot until the first goblot bad boen Emkun, tho firat spot had been discovered upon the carpet, and the fiist match-scratch bad anonymously appeared unon the wall, that the new Housckeeper ceasod to worry over the preservation of the charm of newness in all har belougiugs, and reconciled herself to the inoyit- able changes born of utility and service. Then » sense of peace pervaded her soul also, and do- mestic life began to devclop iteelf in all its sweetness.. The housewifely instioct of *'get- tling,” of which the sterner sex has such s well- known horror, had been gratified even to satiety, and ovorytaing had been found a place— everything excopt thio Head of the House- bold's boots. Was thers ever & bLouso which contained a suitable place of deposit far men's boots? Too unwieldy to be bung up, too fully possessed of a demoniacal ability for get- ting under foot to be stood in o corner and Kept taere, they continne to be the incubus of tne Housekeeper. The innate womanly dislike of the ugly, and & sense of the eternal fitness of things, urge her to stow, those ungainly masses of heathen out of sight; and her husbands innate masculine batred of huntiug for things Jeads him to desire his boots to be iu plamn visw. A mao wants his boots in a couspicuous position 1m a light room), and bis wife wants them in the rear end of a dark closet; and they msy recon- cile the facts who cav. Going to Housekeoping is_quite equal to & transmigration of soul, sines it implies & com- plete readjustment of one's self to the whole world. In everything, life and its Tequiremonts is Jum. the reverse in Your own house of what 1t was in a boarding-place. When you lived in one room, and kopt your worlaly possessions in a Saratogs trunk, the elimination of X BAGS 3 was oue of the great aims of life. They accu- mulated so fas that it was_difficult to believe that thoy did not possess tne faculty of repro- duction.” By diligent byrning of scraps, ndis- criminate bestowal of shabby dresses and dilapi- dated masculine atiirs, and eelf-interested at- tention in the possible needs of grasshopper-suf- ferers, the supply was kept as low as possible ; butoncelet & woman take charge of a house, and heaven and eartn and all her charitable trienas cannet furnish her a large enough stock 10 comfortably begin housekesping. Woolen rags fo1 cleaning paint, muslin rags to cover milk, rags for cleaning silver, rags for mopping floors, Taga for wiping _windows, knife-cloths, stove- cloths, kettle-holders, iron-board covers, old car- pet for back-door mats, and for wrapping ice. Everything is claworing for rags, even to the ittlo puppy in his keonel, who besn't a bed to lis on. In'view of this experience, it is with a matirical smile that the initiated hear of a bride’s going to Housekeeping, The honeymoon will scarcely wane befora she will have taken stock of her husband’s vests, which once had a mys- terious charm for her, becanse they had felt the throbbings of his manly beart, in order to find one old and shabby enough to convert into fiat- iron-holders. Que of the most crushing of tho many sar- prsing DISCOVERIES OF A HOUSEKEEPER is the immutable recurrence of mwaal-times, and tne implacable necewsity of providing eatables. ‘I'hree meals every day to b plaaned for, and on Saturdsy six,—and only beef mutton, veal, and pork, to choose from. O that somebody would 4uvent 8 new animal! Whero is tho woman who has such a wonderfal power of calculation that ehe can provide a steak, naught of which £hall be wasted if only threo dine from it, and which shall yet furnish forth a bountiful repast for themselves and the unexpected and yet wel- come guests? Then, what astounding revela- tions take place in regard to cook-books! Inthe old dsys of homo-life, she thought—if she thought sboat it at all—that all housekoepors were like her mother. and that they wers en- duwed by pature with an intuitive knowledge of ail. domeetic machinery. In her boarding- house days, all cook-books her perfect encyclopediss of household wisdom, and infallible guides-n every emérgency. But, somo fine Tuesdey, the newly-introduced tenant of the kitchen appears hoiding a shirt with a semi-ginzed, semi-speckled, and altogether limp and woful-looking bosom, and propounds a con- undrum to the bewildered mistress as to what makes the starch stick. What avails it then to fly to ** Hints for Housekeepers?” It gives a récipo for starch, and pays no farther heed to that matter. Alas for the new housekeeper! Her mind reveris to ber girlhood's home. What wag it abont beeswax on flat-irous? Why was there aliways a bit of sperm-candle in the starch- box? Wasn't there some rule sbout starching shirts wrong side out? Didn't the last girl she had put butterin the starch? Ah me! What is the mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask compared to thie? And there is mo end to domestic mystades. Whe ‘caras for » the Bacon-Shakspesve controversy, 80 long as the * Honsekeeper's Guide™ doesn’t tell how long to boil corn-beef ? What matters it whether or no the son! will exist independent of the body, if thereis no recipe promulgated for making brend from compressed yeast, and the ruies for making sponge-yeast alwayw in- clude the necessity of alresdy baving & cupfal on hand, 80 that the origin of yeast is involved in as much obscurity as the origin of man, and the yeast of tbis week is to the yeast of the past and toture as the egg is to the chickea and the chicken to the egg ? At last, little by little, order begins to come out of cheos, light out cf darkness, and the Housekeeper begins to feel the beatco road un- der ner feet. The patisnt Head of the House- bold ceases to ask, *Will you have eome af this? " in defauls of s previous acquaintance with tho dish he is called upon to serve. The biscuit are no longer little loaves of bread; aad fricasseed chickens have appa- rently undergons an orthodox culinary dismem-~ berment, instesd of beariog their previous traces of & nitro-glycerina explosion. Justabout this time, when the new Housekeaper begins to fiatter herself that her domestic machinery is commencing to run amaothly and by 1t own mo- memtum, she finds all her labora and calcula- tions brought to naught by the BEDQUINS.QF THE KITCHEN. The Bedonin always has a Cousin in the back~ ground ; and, when the Housekeeper has laid her plans for a littls trip nto the country, or bas invited company to spend a week, or has bired'a dressmaier at $2 a day,.just then is the time when the Cousin is iutroduced into the foreground as baving secured for the Badouin a very desirable place with a dollar or so more of woekly stipeud, and unlimited afternoons and evemngs and Sundays out. Thore pever were such wopderful places as this Cousin Lereelf enjoys. She receives, according to her own account, S4.50a0d @ & week for second worl, has one afternoon to herself every weels, 21l her evenings, and_every Sunday; and, whon she lived i the suburbe, her mistress gave & week's vacation every mooth. and paid her {are to and from the city. Such social freodom and financial afinence the mistress canuut always command for hersell, and she listens aghast to these demands, and the end of ic is that Beaouin No. 1 rolls her worldly posseseions 'in a pews- ‘paper, and shuts the kitchen-door on harself for- ever, AR ! then thers s burrying to and fro, ‘And gathering tears, and tremblings-of. distrees; and the wife betakes herself to the dish-pan, and the husband stops at an intelligence-office. on ns_way down town, and orders up a second Bedouin. Sho comes, and the Housekeoper is exultant, for the new comer is -the bearer of a note, ecant in paper and biurred in penman- slup, but signed Dby the head of the. intelligence—ofiice. It ' opens with the that, “This is terse, inspiring declaration 4 Bridget.” Then follows & brief description of her accomplishments, and an allasion to her many virues, Bridget comes and easnys o cook ino dinner. Under the pretext that the simple Tango, with its two dampers, defies hor efforts at fire-building, she brings the weary housekeepor down two flights of tairs to see her empty the ashes after ** that other girl.” Her predecesuor's culinary efforts, as evidenced in the bread and pies, ecem to her below modiocrity, and lesd her toutter the conjecturs that *Indade, and it must have been cock in & boarding-honss she 'was afore shio came to live with yoz." Nothing in'the house is suited to this critical new-oom- er's tasta. The stove is- too small, tho gas jets are too high, the kitchen is too hot, the bed- biankota are oo narrow; and when, the next morning, she has breakfast at 6-instead of the required ‘hour of: half-past 7, she complains that she has no clock in ber room. Was.she ac- customed to s clock in her bed-room?

The mis- trogs, finding toat ber new housohold-ac- quisition is fond of reading, takes pleusure in supplying Ler with papers and mugazines. In a little while; however, tho lea-lsaves are found standing in the tea-pot; the sink is left with refuse in it ; hmwn~!m1per parcels from the grocer's begin to accumnlate on the closet- shelves,—parcels which the Superior Girl was going to empty iuto' their respective receptacles 23 soon a8 sbe could ‘‘find time.” Whon the mistress mildly hinla that she coma into the kitchen after breakfast, and found tbe hLand- maid readiog, she is informed thstthere wasa ““piece” chat the reader wisbed to finish perus- ing ip laat night's paper. The idea of the Supe- rior Girl seoms to be, that the honsework isa sort of light empioyment for her leisure hours. “T dan't caro what time meals coms,” she .re- marks nonchalantly, 8o long as I get time for to do my sewing.” Being argued with by her mistreas to the effect that.sbe is paid to run the calinary department, whother she finds time to sew or not, sho assumes a decidedly rebellious look. As the weeks wear on, it becomes more and more aifficalt for the delivery-wen {rom the markets to entice the Superior Girl from her room, where she always retires after hor noon-work is done, and en- gages in epistolary effarts, or _improves her literary {asto with popular periodicals. It seems inbuman to check these inteliectusl pur- suits, and yet the New Housekeeper, amid all nor bewildermont, clings to the ides that the household duties have some claim—or ought to have—upon the Suoerior Girl. In her zeal to carry out the teachings of Gail Hamilton, and *‘make life pleasant” for the tenant of hor Kitchen, the New Housekeepor plans;for her an sftornoon at the circus, and provides her with tickets for herself and a companion. Then the mistress rotires to her sewing and the compan- ionship of her lady-visitor, Four o'clock, and no Susie. Five o'clock, and the fire out.

This is * the little rift within the lute,” snd in & little while the Superior Girl is dis- patched; and in her wake there follow the girl who would wait on the table in a sun-bonoet, and loave the gas flaring all night ; the girl who burped overything, or else sorveditTaw; the poor emigrant who weps continuously, 8o that she cast & gloom over the household; the girl who got lacked out, and who slwaya bad hitle bundles of tea, and sugar, and coffes, Iying in odd corners, in suspicious roadiness for surrepti- tious axportation. 1t was the old story.
