Housekeeper iLearned Profession of Home-Making Combines' ‘ive Jobs in One, and Woman Must Be Financier, General, Diplomat, Artist and Poet. IN© complaint is more general—possibly no belief fs more prevalent among _ women—than that a woman of intelligence wastes her energies and her abilities in being merely a housekeeper. Yollowing the domestic arts is a despised calling, held in such contempt by the majority of women that they never take the trouble to achieve succ in it; and yet there is no other occupation under the sun that requires so | many and such varied talents as does the learned profession of home-making. Did you ever think what a woman must be in order to create and carry on a happy and prosperous home? Conslder: She must be a financier. There can be no peace and pleasurc in a home where the wolf is always howling under the window, and the bill collector hammering on the door. JANUARY 8, 1926. Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN There are, of course, a few men in every community who are such gifted more coin than any woman can spend money-makers that they can annex hard-working humanity the but for the great mass of ordinary, industrious, | wife settles the financial status of the family. 1t is her ability to handle money, her knowledge of where to spend and where to economize, her knack of making a dollar buy a hundred and five cents’ worth and get a blue trading stamp thrown in to boot that is at the foundation of every prosperous home. § We don't hear anything about it, because the woman doesn't know herself how awfully clever she is, but the majority of women in this country are doing marvels of financiering in the way they mike both ends meet in their housekeeping allowance, and keep up appearance, that entitie them to qualify in the Rockefeller class. She must be a general. She must know how to command. She must know how to set all the multitudinous wheels of houseTmid machinery in motion and be able to keep them moving without friction. She must be able to enforce obedlence, inspire enthusiasm, plan cam paigns, forestall her enemy, be fertile in expedient and subtle in strategy. Any woman who maintains a comfortable and wEllordered home, the kind of & house that we like to visit. and who raises a nice family and marries her daughters off well, could give the Commander-in-Chief of the Army points on generalship. SHE must be a diplomat. The husband question, the children guestion and the servant question are not to be handled without gloves.” There is no hour of the day that she is not called upon to deal with some problem* that requires the finesse of a Talleyrand. She must be able, if the white-winged dove of peace is to brood over the home nest, to deal with her husband|s prejudices, and circumvent them 0 delicately that he will never know that he is being induced to do the thing that he swore he would never, never do. She must assert her authority over the growing boy with such cunning that he does not perceive that her fine Italian hand is on the checkrein, holding him tight and steady. She must be able, without the girls dreaming that she does it, to insinuate a doubt. drop a word of ridicule, imply an impossibility that will keep her daughters out of entangling alliances, and steer them toward the reciprocally profitable permanent treaties thev should make. she must be ahle to see most when she is apparently Above all stone blind to be most on guard when she looks to be sleeping at her and to be most chaperoning her daughters when the onlooker and the themselves whuld swear that she was most giving them their liberty. She must know how to tread very softly i she keeps off the corns of her servants, for whether & woman is agreeable or disagreeable in the home her children are bound to stay there with her, but it is the blessed privilege of Mary Ann and Bridget and eke of Hulda and Dinah that they can pack their trunks and go. girls Only the very quintessence of diplomacy renders a mistress persona grata to the kitchen, and the woman who preserves friendly relations with that must understand the Alpha and Omega of how to make a jolly cover | the disipline of a martinet Any woman who, when she i 30 vears, has a husbard who thinks her a Solomon fn petticoats; grown children who quote mother’s opinfon, and make cream ‘milk thickened and with butter, pepper Just before coming to drop 1 can shrimps into having put shrimps | | in cold water for 15 to harden them slices, pint soned salt table sauce, to soak utes sea i never cries, and is a little chatterbox.
