Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Housekeepers and Home-Makers
I have thought it best not to change them materially; and they stand, for the most part, just as they appeared in the columns of the newspaper. If they have a sort of freedom such as belongs to the family, it is because they were written for family use. The endeavor was, from the beginning, to give to housekeepers just such information as they most needed, particularly if they were inexperienced. If I have done this in any measure, I shall feel that my work has not been in vain.
