Wanted, a Young Woman to Do Housework Business principles applied to housework
PREFACE This little book is not a treatise on Domestic Science. The vacuum cleaner and the fireless cooker are not even mentioned. The efficient kitchen devised in such an interesting and clever way has no place in it.

C.H.B.

"Was, you mean."
"I mean that it is. I am in my own house. This lady is my wife."
"_Was,_" said the other.
