Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Home: Where It Should Be and What to Put in It
The first portion of it, relating to the selection or building of a house, is more general in its treatment of the subject than the portions relating to the furnishing and interior arrangements. We have endeavored to write only of what housekeepers should do for them selves. In a book of this size we could not undertake to give plans of houses and architectural directions. These belong to works on building. But as the care ful selection of a house, or the intelligent supervision of its construction, should be the duty of those intend ing to establish for themselves a satisfactory home, we have treated of these subjects. But, when the house is ready for occupancy, the real work of the housekeepers commence. They, themselves.
