Book Description
"There are 31 chapters to this book dealing with housekeeping topics such as the difficulty in hiring a good cook, to house cleaning, from cheap furniture to "A mother's duty". The presentation is anecdotal in tone, and some of it humorous in nature, although the advice seems to have been gleaned from hard experience. The housewife is talking in the first person, as if to a friend, and she is obviously a young housewife, married to a certain Mr. Smith"--bookseller J. W. Mah blurb.
