Show IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES Explanation of the Difference Between Be-tween Domestic Standards Now Those of Long Ago. In the Woman's Home Companion there is an intersling presentation of the difference that exists between the domestic standard of young married women of today and those of the past generation. How did the women of the middle clnss of a generation or two ago manage when they could not keep help? Following is the answer quoted from a Companion editorial: "They lived according to their means; they did not set up impossible standards, and they knew much less about the science of bringing up children. chil-dren. They had no special style to keep up; gave the children a weekly bath; kept the table set between meals', did not serve their meals in t courses, but put all tho food on tbe table at once; confined their social affairs to evening calls and parlies, and church suppers, at which they wore tile same black silk dress for at least two seasons; in short, every woman did only what she could, and her friends made it easier for her by doing likewise." |
