DOMESTIC DISCOVERIES.
An English correspondent, writing of the Ideal Home Exhibition held recently in London, points out that in a year or two housekeeping wall have become merely a morning’s work, and the word “housewife” will fast be fading out of our vocabulary. Women must be prepared to find interests outside their homes—intellectual interests, business or recreational onces. If housewaves don’t forsee the change now it will come to them as a jolt in the future, when they see other wives giving most of their time over to lighthearted companionship with their husbands and children, while they themselves cling to the outworn conventions. As" fast as the scientists turn out their domestic discoveries, we women must be busy widening our interests so as to ensure that when we all have ideal homes they will be run universally by ideal housewives.
