About This Book
Excerpt from Letters to a Young HousekeeperI had a vocation as well as my husband that, by careful thought, I could make him feel that it was worth while to work hard if what he earned went just as far as it could and if when he came home tired he found my part attended to so well that the home was comfortable and se rene. For why, if he went faithfully to his business daily, as a matter of course, in order to give me the wherewithal to run the house, should not I do my part as seriously and faithfully?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books...
