Jhtome young b g y irl the less mother expensive and her than one a woman " help servant . _" Or this and latter mayif may needed be a
return to her , own home at night ; for as the little , nursery , is close , to the sitting-room , and only the hall divides both from the kitchen ,
the young mother can easily wait on herself and child , and keep a watch on its sleep "while sitting happily in the drawing-room with
her husband . With the sameor even greater facilitymight two sisters live
together comfortabl , y on a small income , emp , loying their own hands and energies in their little houseworkand saving the money which
, now maintains a servant , for the little luxuries they enjoyed in their father's lifetime .
One great evil of modern life is , that nearly all educated women are brought up to be unproductive labourers ; their energies are
only called forth when fate has placed them at the head of a household , where an administrator rather than a handworker is wanted .
Their former handiwork , spinning and sewing , is superseded by machinery . Half the household work our mothers used to do is
performed "b y out-door agency . But whilst their domestic sphere is thus narrowedcustom and customary ignorance too frequently
, prevent them from employing their energies and capital in business ; they cannot producethey can only save capital . Thus
, circumstanced , the only work these women can do is in their own little household , and any system of house-building which would make
this more respectable and convenient would be valuable . A house of four roomssuch as we have describedwould be a " castle" to
them , and by , becoming householders , instead , of mere lodgers in a stranger ' s house , would gain the sense of home so dear to English
hearts .

, journey to see the Roman remains of the capital of Mauritania , the celebrated tomb of the Christian Queen , and the old Roman
town of Typaza . We mounted at nine o ' clock , and turning our faces towards the west , rode along the crest of the Sahel , the sea
. to the right hand , and on the left , beyond the near vales , the plain in the middle distancethen the Atlas mountainsa long chain

burning hot ,, and happy for us that we had protected ourselves ,
