ABSTRACT

Home is a centre from whence radiates an influence extending to all eternity. Its features are perpetuated in the homes of the children who pass forth from its shelter; for they, creating homes for them-selves, carry with them the moral atmosphere with which they have been surrounded in their youth. This is especially the case with the daughters, and the young bride who, in a well ordered home, has been trained by a wise mother to ‘guide the house’, will go forth to her duties as mistress of a household to carry on the work begun by that mother which will thus extend from generation to generation. Woman is the pivot round which home life revolves, and as a rule, it is woman who makes its comfort or its misery.
