HOME STATESMANSHIP.

By Mrs. S. M. I. Henry

DISORDER in the kitchen means death to the home. You may keep a house, but not a home, without well-regulated, wholesome, kitchen appointments.

To be able to keep a perfectly orderly and hygienic kitchen is to be equal to statesmanship. Statesmanship consists in carefulness in detail; and this is the secret of success, especially in this department of the home. Disorder does not consist in having one or two large things out of place, but many small ones. Things lying about, just where it happens to be most handy to drop them when you have no more use for them, means things always in the way and yet hard to find when wanted.—Mrs. S. M. I. Henry.
