The Wife’s Part.

A wife’s part in the family is generally best taken where the wife looks after the economical management of the domestic machinery. Many mothers try to help the family income by doing some outside work, but where a home and children are to be looked after the results are satisfactory in very few eases. The greatest value of a. housekeeper and mother lies in economy in her home, in the wise education of her children, and in the encouragement of her husband. Where a wife is childless and has no household cares, then leisure is had to help the income, and this may be done in various ways. But, as a general rule, a wife’s source of greatest help to her husband lies in the home and not out of it, by stimulating him to earn all that he can. and by wisely saving all that she can of his earnings.
