36781[ 9] Now how is this most desirable end to be attained? 36781 Again we ask, Why? 36781 And first, what is its proper starting- point? 36781 And, again, how does all this bear on the equipment of women? 36781 Are the top rooms of a thatched cottage warmer or colder than the top rooms of a house covered with slates? 36781 But is it safe to assume that the same would be the case in the household of a simple knight? 36781 For what is the message of scientific hygiene to the parent and householder of the twentieth century? 36781 For what reason has it opposed such a resistant surface to the manipulations of the reformer or to the coercions of the official? 36781 How could it be otherwise? 36781 How often are they most sorely abused and unwisely taxed? 36781 How, then, are we to describe the domestic life of the various sections of rural society at this time? 36781 If the iron walls were twice as thick, what would be the effect inside the room? 36781 If, for instance, the thermometer is placed in front of the fire at a distance, say of four feet from it, what will its reading indicate? 36781 In what way, it will be asked, can individual capacity for health be gauged? 36781 Is a wooden or an iron building warmer? 36781 Is it so? 36781 Is sanitary legislation therefore a failure, or by what means can light from the sun of knowledge penetrate this dense mass of ignorance and apathy? 36781 METHOD OF STUDY What should be the method of this study? 36781 Or again: When did the custom of building houses to let on rent first become general in England? 36781 Shall the stoves be of slate or iron? 36781 Should this be tolerated any longer? 36781 Taking England, for example-- how do we stand with other countries in this respect? 36781 The problem of how to let in air and keep out fog suggests the question, What is fog? 36781 The question may arise why we should feel this when the room is heated by a stove and not when it is heated by an open fire? 36781 To what general causes may such deterioration be attributed? 36781 To what must we ascribe this? 36781 What are to be the types and examples of organisms studied? 36781 What change in the manner of use justifies making them of earthenware or India- rubber? 36781 What difference does it make if the iron building is lined with wood? 36781 What would be the effect of interchanging the materials? 36781 What, it may now be asked, is to be done to counteract these disadvantages and dangers? 36781 When will the fallacy be destroyed which gauges the strength of a disinfectant by the pungency of its odour? 36781 When will the value of good work cease to be measured by the exhaustion it brings about or the breakdown to which it conduces? 36781 Wherein then lies the difference between the pig and the baby? 36781 Why, for instance, is it customary to bake bread at home in some districts and to buy it from a shop in others? 36781 Why, then, does it remain unpopular? 36781 Will it be the temperature of the air of the room or the temperature of the fire, or if neither, what will it be? 36781 Would it be possible to use the Norwegian stove as a refrigerator? 36781 Would it keep an ice pudding cold without any alteration? 36781 Would the walls of such a building be always dry inside? 36781 [ 113] Should not parents inform themselves diligently on these matters? 36781 and( 2) Does the sun put the fire out, and if so how? 36781 at what age is intelligent supervision most important? 36781 to what degree can the power to progress or to resist encroachments be strengthened? 12366 What difference does that make in the style and price?"
12366And anyway it is a part of the progress of the age, and what are we to do about it?
12366And in what direction are we to look for the coming advance?
12366Are the people growing more healthy, well- favored, well- proportioned, stronger, happier?
12366Are we become too sensitive to little things?
12366Are you to keep three servants or none?
12366But if we eliminate the house itself, and the heavy furniture from the"home"possessions, what have we left?
12366But what shelter can this refined, intelligent family find to- day for$ 400?
12366But will he be willing to do them?
12366Do we imagine we show our higher civilization by discerning with the little princess the pea under twenty- four feather beds?
12366Do you wish back stairs?
12366Do you wish the rooms separate or connecting?
12366Gloves?
12366Has he a moral right to bring unhappiness to his wife and two children?
12366Has selfishness also?
12366Having been caught in the trap, why give him all the blame if he tries to increase his income by speculation?
12366How shall it be managed so as to be in harmony with present- day demands?
12366If not, then is there not a fallacy in the common idea that more money spent means a fuller life?
12366If the young couple have saved or inherited between them, say,$ 3000, shall they build a home with it?
12366In any city well known to my readers how many streets bear the same aspect as five years ago?
12366In any suburban village made familiar by the trolley how many houses are the same as five years ago?
12366In the city?
12366Indeed is any part of the house, as we now most frequently find it, adapted to the uses of the twentieth century?
12366Is it not merely because certain would- be leaders choose to live beyond their means in company with those who are able to spend more?
12366Is it not more honest?
12366Is it perchance one reason, if not the chief, why manners have degenerated?
12366Is there any reason why we should be satisfied with it or happy in it?
12366Is this increased cost resulting in higher efficiency?
12366Is this neglect to go on, or is man to turn before it is too late to a cultivation of the effective life?
12366Is this productive work?
12366It is as important as book- keeping; for of what avail are money and business, if the home life is perilled?
12366The one question every person asks when these suggested improvements are discussed is, but how much will it cost?
12366These are necessary adjuncts to what is held as merely decent living;_ how_ can the$ 2000 man have them, not why_ will_ he not?
12366This is not an essential consequence, but will it be so impossible to have a certain similarity in the dwellings of like- minded people?
12366What can the man with limited income do but avoid the responsibility of a family?
12366What is to be done with them?
12366What is to be done?
12366What is twentieth- century housekeeping?
12366What is worth while?
12366What remedy so long as millions sleep in closets with no air- currents passing through?
12366What wonder that the young people find themselves in debt by the second year?
12366What wonder the white plague is always with us?
12366Where is the boasted adaptability of the American?
12366Where then do we stand?
12366Who shall say?
12366Who will make the practical advance?
12366Why is there so much dirt brought into the house?
12366Why is there so much lint?
12366Why is this particular region unfashionable?
12366Why not be honest and happy?
12366Why should the hospital monopolize the materials for antiseptic work?
12366With these figures in mind, what can our$ 2000 family with two children do?
12366Yes, but what does it save?
41940''But does n''t your wife object?'' 41940 And the sponsors?"
41940Are you coming with me?
41940Do you come so late?
41940Had we better wear rubbers?
41940Is there anything further?
41940Is there anything further?
41940Is there anything further?
41940Perhaps you write poetry yourself?
41940That is, on a week day?
41940Well, what else?
41940What shall he be called?
41940Why did you do it?
41940Yes, but what do you do?
41940You seem to think a sight of Burns? 41940 : 12 cans pineapple 2.40 6 lemons.10 Sugar.65? 41940 At last each inquired of the others,Well, are you ready?"
41940Can they engage at once and successfully in some congenial occupation?
41940Can we help you to prove it now?
41940Did you ever stop to consider what a mandatory phrase"strawberry time"is?
41940Do n''t you think so?
41940Do our schools fit or unfit our youth for life''s real work?
41940Does it not follow that the only life worth living is that which is actuated by a real purpose, a lofty ideal, a clear vision?
41940Even as a boarder of no kin whatever to his landlady, is he likely to be as comfortable as in the workhouse?
41940For what do we choose our legislators?
41940Four- sevenths of a flower is what part of speech?
41940Have you obtained one yet?
41940How could it help being so, with such children and a certain sure thing to do?"
41940I never have cleared over five hundred a year, but what more do I need?
41940Is acceptance of such pension outside of a workhouse more honorable than being dependent on Government for support inside the workhouse?
41940Is it possible to think of a marriage resulting well that does not begin in truth, and continue in truth?
41940Is it to squander or conserve the revenues and resources of the State?
41940Is n''t that worth something?
41940Jack received my volley of opposing arguments, not only with fortitude but with apparent satisfaction, and simply said,"Have you finished?"
41940The minister remained sitting a long time in silence; finally he asked gently,"What are you now going to do, Thord?"
41940Then why not make your bed as comfortable as it can be made?
41940This medley next is drenched with oil, And lemon juice combined, The hollow skins are then filled up-- Or, shall we say, relined?
41940To have your jellies come out right-- no mistakes, no reboiling, no worry, no fret-- what would n''t a woman give to insure such a result?
41940To this the pastor remained silent, but after a while he asked:"What is your errand this evening?"
41940Tomato( Aspic?)
41940Upstairs they all went again; much talk and another half hour passed when each made the declaration,"Well, I am ready, are you?"
41940Was she a young woman after all?
41940What European ruler was interested in"The Congo"?

41940What size will be suitable?"
41940Which do you think would be better, Mary, a basket or a pail?"
41940Who is going to house, feed and clothe them for five shillings a week?
41940Why did we dissemble?
41940Why do n''t ye drive yer cattle up an''let''em look at yer green blinds an''hear yer clock strike?"
41940Will you chart the flower- strewn lea?
41940Will you curb your pride, will you keep the faith, The faith of my company?
41940Will you meet my wish, will you walk my way?
41940Yes, how could it help being thus with such a spirit at work to bring it about?
21829What manner of persons, then, ought we to be,in attempting to sustain so solemn, so glorious a responsibility?
21829And is it not as important, to endow institutions which shall make a superior education accessible to all classes,--for females, as for the other sex?
21829And is it not right for domestics, as well as their employers, to seek places, where they can be most comfortable?
21829And so they can get books on Chemistry and Philosophy, and study them out of school; but_ will_ they do it?
21829And why is it not right, for domestics to act according to a rule, allowed to be correct in reference to all other trades and professions?
21829And why ought we not to make sure of the most necessary knowledge, and let the less needful be omitted?
21829Are such momentous interests to be advanced or retarded, just in proportion as we are faithful to our high trust?
21829Are we, then, a spectacle to the world?
21829But are not the most responsible of all duties committed to the charge of woman?
21829But what is the rule of rectitude, on this subject?
21829But what was the grand peculiarity of the character of Christ?
21829But where are the American mothers, who can reach this period unfaded and unworn?
21829But who shall take the higher, and who the subordinate, stations in social and civil life?
21829But whose business is it to see that these young females are not huddled into crowded rooms?
21829But why should that knowledge, most needful for daily comfort, most liable to be in demand, be the only study omitted, because it may be forgotten?
21829Can not you compare this with the time and money you spend for intellectual and benevolent purposes?
21829Do not young ladies learn, from books, how to make hydrogen and oxygen?
21829Do they not have pictures of furnaces, alembics, and the various utensils employed in_ cooking_ the chemical agents?
21829Does a woman say she can not do this?
21829Has the Eternal Lawgiver appointed us to work out a problem, involving the destiny of the whole earth?
21829How can American Women rectify any real Disadvantages involved in our Civil Institutions?
21829How else are young ladies to learn to make purchases properly, and to be systematic and economical?
21829In making this examination, is not this brief rule, deducible from the principles before laid down, the one which should regulate you?
21829In what Respects are Women subordinate?
21829Is it asked, how can young ladies paint, play the piano, and study, when their hands and dresses must be unfitted by such drudgery?
21829Is it not her profession to take care of mind, body, and soul?
21829Is it not the universal law of labor and of trade, that an article is to be valued, according to its scarcity and the demand?
21829Is it objected, How can we decide between superfluities and necessaries, in this list?
21829Is it said, that those, who wish to rise early, can go to their employments before breakfast?
21829It may then be asked, How many mothers_ actually do_ give their daughters instruction in the various branches of Domestic Economy?
21829Shall we ape the customs of aristocratic lands, in those very practices which result from principles and institutions that we condemn?
21829Shall we assume, by our practice, that the interests of the great mass are to be sacrificed for the pleasures and honors of a privileged few?
21829Shall we form our customs on the principle that labor is degrading, and indolence genteel?
21829The constantly- recurring inquiry,''What will be_ the use_ of this study?''
21829The first, is that presented by our Saviour, when, after urging the great law of benevolence, He was asked,"and who is my neighbor?"
21829Wherein are they equal or superior in Influence?
21829Why is not the human skeleton as curious and interesting as the air- pump; and the action of the brain, as the action of a steam- engine?
21829Why may not the structure of the human body, and the laws of health deduced therefrom, be as well taught as the laws of natural philosophy?
21829Why not?
21829Why, then, should not that science and art, which a woman is to practise during her whole life, be studied and recited?
21829and how are they placed by Courtesy?
21829and that, too, at the most critical of all periods of existence?
21829and why?
21829and will not this show the need of some change?
21829or that their manners, principles, and morals, are properly regulated?
21829or that they do not sleep in ill- ventilated chambers?
21829or that they have healthful food?
21829or that they have the requisite amount of fresh air and exercise?
21829or that they pursue an appropriate and systematic course of study?
36498Do you think that there are spaces, other than windows, which could be satisfactorily divided according to the same measurements?
36498How many of you think that this is an art problem? 36498 In which of these doors do you think the division into panels is most satisfactory?
36498On which of these book covers do you think the space is best divided? 36498 When you are at home to- night, will you notice the arrangement of articles on your dresser?
36498Where could you find an illustration in which you think there is particularly pleasing space division? 36498 Can one always be sure of the most becoming thing to buy even when shopping in person? 36498 Coats? 36498 Do you agree with Arnold Bennett? 36498 Do you like this scarf? 36498 Do you think that the arrangements which we decided are most pleasing from the inside are equally pleasing from the outside?
36498Does the notebook provide for worthwhile individual experience?
36498For example, which of these questions would probably arouse the most animated discussion:"What is art?"
36498Hats?
36498Have you ever heard some one say,"Mary''s new dress is lovely but the color is not becoming to her"?
36498Have you ever seen a store window that reminded you of a circus?
36498Have you ever seen combinations of color in nature that were not pleasing?
36498Her argument was,"What difference does it make?
36498How can she determine the length of candle that would be most suitable when they are used on the buffet?"
36498How can these results be measured?
36498How can you insure success for yourself?
36498How could she determine the most becoming depth for her cape collar?"
36498How deep on the waist do you think a yoke should come to be most attractive?"
36498How do you suggest cutting it so that it can be used in this frame and still retain its pleasing proportions?"
36498How has the artist emphasized it?
36498How may we make better use of nature''s examples?
36498In which of the store windows on Center Street do you think the merchant has displayed his merchandise to the greatest advantage?
36498In which of these pieces of china do you think the design is in harmony with the shape of the dish and would make a suitable background for food?
36498Is this calendar pleasing in proportion?
36498MEASURING RESULTS How can the degree to which art training is functioning in the lives of the girls and women be determined?
36498Morgan[19] pertinently discusses the artificial versus the real: Some say"What about painted weeds and grasses?"
36498Of what value would it be for her to make a permanent record of these illustrations?
36498SELECTION AND SOURCE What are the factors governing the choice of illustrative material?
36498Since there is so much variation, how can we be sure that curtains are tied back in the most attractive way possible?"
36498The initial question would probably be:"Which of these two arrangements, A and B, do you think contributes most to the appearance of the window?"
36498The question may then be asked,"Would you like to find out what makes some articles more beautiful than others?"
36498This cushion?
36498This picture?
36498To what extent can our likes guide our choices?
36498To what extent will laboratory problems function in meeting pupils''needs?
36498To which of these mounted pictures do you think the margins are best suited?

36498What in this picture catches your attention first?
36498What is the ultimate use of it?
36498What results should be expected from art training in the homemaking program?
36498What should be the place of art in the homemaking program?
36498What would be helpful in making selections?
36498Where in nature are the brightest spots of color found?
36498Where would be the best place for her to place the belt?"
36498Which do you think has the most interesting relation between the depth of the lid and the depth of the box?
36498Which of the containers pictured in this advertisement would you select to use for an arrangement of flowers?
36498Which of these candles would you suggest?
36498Which of these dress designs are balanced?
36498Which of these fabrics has the most pleasing combination of stripes?

36498Which trimming material do you think would be best to use with it?
36498Why ca n''t everyone select just the things she likes?"
36498Why do girls and women prefer to go to the store to select dresses or dress material?
36498Why do people ever choose unbecoming colors?
36498Why do they feel justified in making such expenditures to introduce the single new quality of color?
36498Why is that piece more pleasing than the other two?
36498Why is there some disagreement?
36498Why not?
36498Why?

36498Why?
36498Why?"
36498Why?"
36498Why?"
36498Why?"
36498Will it be helpful to us to know how to divide a window space with curtains?
36498Will it pay in terms of time and energy expended?
36498Will you bring such an illustration to class?"
36498Would you like to be able to select colors becoming to you?
6598Do n''t like the butter, sir? 6598 ''Are the Sisters of Charity really better nurses than most other women?'' 6598 ''Why should it be so?'' 6598 And is it not right for domestics, as well as their employers, to seek places where they can be most comfortable? 6598 And why is it not right for domestics to act according to a rule allowed to be correct in reference to all other trades and professions? 6598 Are they not living just as if there were no great emergency, no terrible risks and danger to their fellow- men in the life to, come? 6598 Are you sure, my friend? 6598 But do they? 6598 But how would it be with the Protestant woman practicing such self- denial? 6598 But to a tourist taking like chance in American country- fare, what is the prospect? 6598 But what is the rule of rectitude on this subject? 6598 But what was the grand peculiarity of the character of Christ? 6598 Can not you compare this with the time and money you spend for intellectual and benevolent purposes? 6598 Does a woman say she can not do this? 6598 Does it not seem poor economy to pay servants for letting our muscles grow feeble, and then to pay operators to exercise them for us? 6598 If our daughters did as much for us, should we not be proud of their energy and heroism? 6598 In making this examination, is not this brief rule, deducible from the principles before laid down, the one which should regulate you? 6598 Is it not the universal law of labor and of trade that an article is to be valued according to its scarcity and the demand? 6598 Is it not time that civilization should learn to demand somewhat more care and nicety in the modes of preparing what is to be cooked and eaten? 6598 Is it objected, How can we decide between superfluities and necessities, in this list? 6598 Is not such an art as this worth much to attain? 6598 Might not some of the refinement and trimness which characterize the preparations of the European market be with advantage introduced into our own? 6598 Moreover, would not the fine arts, in the end, he better supported by imparting culture and refined tastes to the neglected ones? 6598 Now, what is the matter with domestic service? 6598 Query, Do they sleep with closed windows and doors, and with heavy bed- curtains? 6598 Shall it be blue? 6598 Shall it be crimson? 6598 Shall it be green? 6598 Shall we ape the customs of aristocratic lands, in those very practices which result from principles and institutions that we condemn? 6598 Shall we assume, by our practice, that the interests of the great mass are to be sacrificed for the pleasures and honors of a privileged few? 6598 Shall we form our customs on the assumption that labor is degrading and indolence genteel? 6598 The French coffee is reputed the best in the world; and a thousand voices have asked, What is it about the French coffee? 6598 The first is that presented by our Saviour, when, after urging the great law of benevolence, he was asked,And who is my neighbor?"
6598Thus the question is, Shall we shut up a chamber and breathe night air vitiated with carbonic acid or night air that is pure?
6598To begin, then, with the very foundation of a good table:--_Bread:_ What ought it to be?
6598Was this doing_ more_ than her duty--_more_ than the example and teachings of Christ require?
6598What is the coffee?
6598What is the relation of servant to employer in a democratic country?
6598What was now to be done?
6598What, then, is the end designed by the family state which Jesus Christ came into this world to secure?
6598Where is the so- called cook who understands how to prepare soups and stews?
6598Who can look at this new danger without dismay?
6598Why not face it sensibly?
6598Would it not be a wiser thing to_ ask_ for what we need, before trying so circuitous and dangerous a method?
6598Would this be following the self- sacrificing benevolence of Christ and his apostles?]
6598and above all, the butter?
6598and the meat?
6598and will not this show the need of some change?
6598what the tea?
14475And may I go?
14475And what becomes of the rest?
14475And what should you do then?
14475And where does he want you to go and live?
14475Are you eighteen?
14475Are you going to have two teachers?
14475Are you much hurt?
14475Are you not well, Albert?
14475Are you?
14475But where are_ you_ going to study?
14475But you_ must_ be punished,said Mary Bell, very positively,"and- what shall your punishment be?"
14475Could not I come home every night?
14475Could not we climb in at one of the windows?
14475Did I make you do that?
14475Did he?
14475Did he?
14475Did not I tell you about it? 14475 Did you catch any fishes?"
14475Did you know that we were going to have a new road?
14475Do you know how to draw?
14475Do you mean all night, too?
14475Do you think that I could possibly learn now?
14475Do you think that you shall move to the new house?
14475Does he?
14475Have you begun to think at all what you shall do?
14475Have you got an oven?
14475Have you?
14475How much?
14475Is not he foolish?
14475Is not there any thing?
14475Look,said he,"is not that beautiful?
14475Malleville,said he,"are you awake?"
14475No,said Mrs. Bell,"what is it?"
14475Now how can we get in?
14475Shall I begin now?
14475Shall you take the money?
14475Should you have much over?
14475The girl''s?
14475Then why are you glad to get the offer?
14475Then why did not you come?
14475To me?
14475Was it a pretty bird''s- nest?
14475Well, mother,said Mary Bell,"could not you give her a little money, if she is poor?
14475What are you afraid of?
14475What are you glad for?
14475What are you going to have for breakfast?
14475What could we have to_ do_ this fall and winter?
14475What did they do?
14475What did you want me for?
14475What do you mean, Albert,said Mary Bell,"about Mary Erskine''s coming to live here?
14475What do you think you shall do?
14475What is it?
14475What shall we do?
14475What should you like?
14475What was the girl''s name?
14475When are you going to invite us?
14475Where has he gone?
14475Where is the horse?
14475Where?
14475Who shall be the teacher?
14475Who shall they be?
14475Why, have not I guessed right yet?
14475Why, how much do you think the farm and stock will sell for?
14475Why?
14475Yes,said Malleville,"are you?"
14475Your raspberry party?
14475_ Is_ it foolish for me to learn to climb?
14475After a short pause spent in reflections like these, Mrs. Bell resumed the conversation by saying,"Well, Mary,--and what do you think of the plan?"
14475After musing upon this melancholy prospect a moment she asked,"Should not I have_ any_ of the property, if the will proves not to be good?"
14475And what shall your punishment be?"
14475Are you ready for me to come and nail the box?"
14475Did you ever see a better burn?"
14475Do n''t you think I can, Mary?"
14475Here there was a pause of a few minutes, when Albert said again,"Have you any objection to my walking along with you here a little way, Mary?"
14475If I will do it, and build a small house of one room there, will you come and be my wife?
14475Mary Bell paused and looked upon the butterflies a moment, and then said,"And now how shall I get by?
14475She then turned away, saying to herself,"If Albert is going to be sick and to die, what_ will_ become of me?"
14475Should not you like to go?"
14475What makes you think it was light?"
14475What should you do with the money, if you borrowed it?"
14475Where is it?"
14475Who should have it, if not she?"
14475Why not?"
14475repeated Phonny,"what is that?''
14475said she, when she got to the door of the house,"did n''t you hear me calling for you?"
14475what is the matter, mother?"
14475what shall I do?"
14475what''s his name?"
26032And now nobody does, except a few Ancient Mariners?

26032Now, mother, are n''t you really glad you went?
26032Nuff said.--Are we going to Branton tomorrow, Burt, with the crowd? 26032 Oh, Burt, what were we thinking of?"
26032Our Aunt Susan,corrected Burt.--"No, Your Honor-- that is, I thought--""You knew she was going to California?"
26032This summer?
26032We can have the wedding here, ca n''t we, Jimmie?
26032We''ll go again, wo n''t we, Mother?
26032What''s that you said, Jimmie? 26032 What''s the matter, Jennie?"
26032What''s this?
26032What''s upstairs, Burt?
26032Who,he inquired,"was the lady who was already by the still waters while the rest of us were lying down in green pastures?"
26032Who?
26032Why ca n''t she be as nice when she goes to people''s houses as she is when she is at home?
26032Why, Mary, you are n''t going away?
26032Why?
26032Why?''

32863Can she_ bake_?
32863What,says the cottager,"has all this to do with hogs and bacon?"
32863_ Can you milk?_He could not; but_ would learn_!
32863And how, then, is it possible, that unwholesomeness should distil from the udder of a cow?
32863And is not a fourth, or even an eighth, part of this weight, sufficient to go down the throats of a family in a year?
32863And now, how are these to be had_ upon the same ground that bears_ the cabbages?
32863And ought not this to be a lesson to fathers and mothers of families?
32863And what is the_ result_?
32863And what is there worthy of the name of_ plague_, or_ trouble_, in all this?
32863And what should we see at last, if this infernal THING could continue for only a few years longer?
32863And whence does it come?
32863And, pray, what can be pleasanter to_ behold_?
32863And, shall a starving man be hanged, then, if he take a loaf to save himself from dying?
32863And_ why_ are they not to be deemed unmerciful?
32863Are there twenty- two square miles covered with the Wen''s market gardens?
32863Are we not to despise a_ thief_?
32863Beset with wants, having a mind continually harassed with fears of starvation, who can act with energy, who can calmly think?
32863Besides this, however, why should we not_ export_ the articles of this manufacture?
32863But has not Nature made the country girls as pretty as ladies?
32863But, after all, what need had we of any_ authorities_?
32863But, at any rate, is the salary of the"ASSISTANT OVERSEER"necessary?
32863But, how stands these matters now?
32863But, if a_ part_ of the ancient law remain, shall not the_ whole_ of it remain?
32863But, if such be her state in the house of an employer, what is her state in the house of a_ husband_?
32863But, was it_ possible_ to believe this?
32863But, why so good, so generous, to FELONS?
32863Can any man, who knows any thing of the labourer''s life, deny this?
32863Can any reasonable creature believe, that, to save the soul, God requires us to give up the food necessary to sustain the body?
32863Can it be_ religion_ to regard as blessings those things, those very things, which God expressly numbers amongst his curses?
32863Can not that be dispensed with?
32863Did Saint Paul preach this?
32863FIRST, where are_ we_ to get the_ Indian Meal_?
32863He, who, while he spread the gospel abroad,_ worked himself_, in order to have it to give to those who were unable to work?
32863How should it be otherwise?
32863How should they?
32863How, then, are they to contend against Irish butter and Dutch butter and cheese?
32863How, then, are we to reconcile this with_ morality_?
32863How, then, could the Wen be supplied, if it required_ ten rods_ to each family?
32863If she can neither bake nor brew; if she be ignorant of the nature of flour, yeast, malt, and hops, what is she good for?
32863If you add five of these pounds to a woman''s wages, is not that full as well employed as giving it in wages to the baker''s men?
32863Is it not better employed for you?
32863Is it not better than time spent in the ale- house, or in creeping about after a miserable hare?
32863Is not this state of things perfectly monstrous?
32863Is that nothing?
32863It is_ labour_; but, what is_ exercise_ other than labour?
32863It may be asked, Where is the mill to be found?
32863Law is always law: if one part of the law may be, with impunity, set at defiance, why not another and every other part of the law?
32863Must he have as much as_ all the widows_, or_ all the old men_?
32863Needs there any thing more to make us cease to wonder at seeing labourers''children with dirty linen and holes in the heels of their stockings?
32863No poor- laws?
32863No poor- rates?
32863No_ select vestries_?
32863Now, how much garden ground does it require to supply even a large family with_ garden vegetables_?
32863Now, is not this an enormous evil?
32863Now, then, how fare the prisoners in the jails?
32863Now, with what show of justice can these laws be maintained?
32863Ought not they to consider that the habits which they give their children are to stick by those children during their whole lives?
32863Stop the exchange between Leghorn and Yorkshire, and, does Yorkshire_ lose part of its custom_?
32863Surely that Lancashire can never be_ in England_?"
32863The answer is, Where is there not a mill?
32863The question was, then, would these precious seeds_ grow and produce plants in perfection in England_?
32863There is no farmer who does not at least fifty days in every year exclaim, when he gets up in the morning,"What shall I set_ them_ at to- day?"
32863These last are right; but what have these things to do with the treatment of the poor?
32863To be without sure and safe friends in the world makes life not worth having; and whom can we be so sure of as of our children?
32863Was not this father discharging his duty by this boy much better than he would have been by sending him to a place called a_ school_?
32863What do we want more than this to convince us, that the main body of the people have been_ impoverished_ by the"Reformation?"
32863What have these things to do with the horrid facts relative to the condition and starvation of English people?
32863What is it, then, that they_ do_ with the eighty rods of ground in a private garden?
32863What is the object of Government?
32863What need had we even of_ reason_ upon the subject?
32863What reason have we, then, to presume, that our children are not to do the same?
32863What shall we see next?
32863What then will people not do, who regularly undertake the business for their livelihood?
32863What would he have said?
32863What_ is it_, then?
32863What_ justice_ is there, then, in calling upon this man to take up arms and_ risk his life_ in the_ defence of the land_: what is the land to him?
32863Where can that_ Hampshire_ be?
32863Where is the justice of the peace?
32863Where is there such a man, who can not trace to this cause a very considerable part of all the mortifications and sufferings of his life?
32863Where, amidst all this starvation, is the overseer?
32863Who would think himself safe, if at the_ mercy_ of such a man?
32863Why do they take care to have it then?
32863Why should any one have such desire?
32863Why, you would say, to be sure,"Where is the LAW; where are the constables, the justices, the juries, the judges, the sheriffs, and the hangmen?
32863Why_ buy_ this, when you can_ grow_ it in your garden?
32863With what satisfaction will they learn that straw, twenty times as durable, to say nothing of the beauty, is to be got from every hedge?
32863_ Abundant food_ is the main thing; and what is there that a rabbit will_ not eat_?
32863and is it not better employed for the community?
32863are there_ no poor- laws_ in Lancashire?
32863duty on that straw, and to have it platted here; and that it would_ not answer_ to turn into plat straw of just the same sort grown in England?
32863where is the wheat to be got?
32863where is there not a market?
4622''Do you know anything about this Mrs. Blake, who washes for me?'' 4622 ''What about, mother?''
4622''What new feature have you discovered now, mother?'' 4622 And have had all our hard labor for nothing?"

4622Borrow of you?
4622Bridget, are you in the habit of borrowing from Mrs. Jordon without my knowledge?
4622Bridget, what''s the matter with your tea? 4622 But is n''t it dreadful to think of, Mrs. Smith?
4622But it never will do, Mr. Martin, will it?
4622But what shall we do Mary? 4622 Can I look at them, madam?"
4622Can a mother forget her sucking child?
4622Did she wear her new bonnet?
4622Din''t you get a bar of soap from our house yesterday?
4622Do n''t you know that you made yourself sick by your close application in learning your trade?
4622Do you think it will take?
4622Do you think you could get up a bonnet a handsome as that, and in just as good taste?
4622Does she get ours every morning?
4622Has n''t Mrs. Jordon got a coffee- mill of her own?
4622Hav''nt you the change?
4622Have you a pleasant room vacant?
4622Have you the last fashions from abroad?
4622How did I refuse?
4622How do you do?
4622How do you like your new boarding house?
4622How so?
4622I believe I''ve never had your bill, Mrs. Turner, have I?
4622I have your wash- boiler and tubs? 4622 I think we had better try it, mother, do n''t you?"
4622I?
4622If she does n''t, pray who does?
4622Indeed? 4622 It was exactly like this?"
4622Mary, what_ shall_ we do?
4622May I not see her now?
4622Mrs. Jordon says, will you please to lend her a pan of flour? 4622 Nor of keeping a school?"
4622Pardon me, Fanny-- but why did n''t you call a servant to get the port- folio for you? 4622 She did?"
4622So bad as that, is it?
4622Suppose I open a school?
4622Suppose we open a little dry goods''store?
4622Suppose we take a few boarders?
4622That''s too high-- is it not?
4622Then what is he?
4622Was Mrs. Claudine there?
4622Was anything like this ever heard?
4622Was n''t it like this?
4622We ought to do what we see to be right, mother, had we not?
4622Well, child, what conclusion have you come to?
4622Well, what do you think of my learning the dress- making business?
4622Well, what does she want?
4622What ails her?
4622What do you wish to say?
4622What is that, Mary?
4622What is to be done?
4622What is wanted?
4622What kind of a room have you? 4622 What makes you think so, child?"
4622What ought we to charge?
4622What''s the matter with this tea?
4622What''s wanted now?
4622Where do you live now, Kitty?
4622Where is the large earthen dish that you use sometimes in making bread?
4622Who ever heard of a servant that asked as a favor to be permitted to serve you? 4622 Why do n''t she bring it home?"
4622Why do you wish to move, Jane?
4622Why so?
4622Why, what are you going to do with this Mary?
4622Why?
4622Will you let me see them?
4622Will you step into my house and tell Nancy I want to see her?
4622Wo n''t it be right for us to reduce our expenses, and make the most of what we have left?
4622Would n''t ice do better, doctor?
4622You can have your choice of the finest in the house?
4622You did not lose much, did you?
4622You do n''t like the idea of setting up a little store?
4622You have heard of Mrs. Claudine''s new bonnet, I presume?
4622You have just opened a boarding house, I suppose, madam?
4622You have not the pattern?
4622You say we have sunk more than two thousand dollars in two years?
4622''What''s wanted now?''
4622''Will you leave off teasing, If I give you a piece?''
4622And who can calculate all the whippings, and all the trouble, she would have spared herself and him?
4622But are you in earnest?"
4622But ca n''t you remedy this defect in some way?"
4622But can she have broken up my tubs and boiler, or carried them off?"
4622But it may be said, how are children to be trained in order that happiness may be the result?
4622Cameron?"
4622Can you make it?"
4622How can we wonder at it?
4622How could it be otherwise?
4622How could you trust a man like Mr. Cameron to such an amount?"
4622How shall I extirpate these, without injuring the others?"
4622Is it not so, mother?"
4622Is it the same we have been using?"
4622Martin at length said--"Have I aught to hope, Mary?"
4622Mary stooped down to the ear of her husband, who sat a little behind her mother, and whispered,"You are dull, dear-- I got you by it, did n''t I?"
4622May I hope for a return of kindred feelings?"
4622Now why, Helen, do you suppose that faithful old servant was so strongly attached to Oberlin?"
4622Shall I describe the painful object that met my sight?
4622Shall the world and its pleasures draw off your attention from your duty when so much is at stake?
4622Turner?"
4622Turner?"
4622Turner?"
4622Was it a cause of wonder?
4622What lesson on industry would be so likely to be instructive as that gathered from a bee- hive?
4622When she gave him the pie, he had reason to suppose it was not true it would hurt him-- else why should a kind mother give it to her child?
4622Where are the bonnets you spoke of just now?"
4622Who could have dreamed of such doings?"
4622Who is so fit to watch over the wants of infancy as she who gave that infant birth?
4622Why did n''t you look at them while you were in the parlor, or, take them up with you, if you wanted them in your chamber?"
4622Why should I borrow your coffee- mill?
4622Will you neglect or refuse to be your child''s teacher?
4622Will you now be mine?"
4622and what kind of a bed?"
4622she at length exclaimed,"what on earth can you mean?"
42803''All this brings me to the point of my letter, which is: wo n''t you please let me come and live with you for a year and learn how to manage? 42803 And desserts?"
42803And did you buy a kerosene- stove, too?
42803And do n''t you have to rise with the lark to get a breakfast of two courses?
42803And do you have fish on Fridays?
42803And do you have muffins and cakes and those hot breads?
42803And do you think you save a lot by doing up vegetables?
42803And eggs, now; may I ever make desserts with them?
42803And how about groceries and such things?
42803And how about salads?
42803And how often do you clean the silver?
42803And is it cheap?
42803And may a mere man inquire where on earth you are going to store all these things in our flat?
42803And spill the greasy dish- water around the edge of the dress, as you did before?
42803And the china?
42803And there is ice; or do they use ice in the country?
42803And watermelon rind-- don''t you do something with that?
42803And what comes next?
42803And what did it cost?
42803And whatever is yellow tomato salad? 42803 And when do you have the preserves and canned fruit?"
42803Aunt Maria? 42803 But do n''t you have to keep supplying these things over and over?
42803But do n''t you think veal would be pretty expensive in March? 42803 But do you think croquettes would be enough dinner for a hungry man?
42803But just how do you sterilize cans?
42803But why is the main course fish instead of meat?
42803But with other things besides groceries which you must have, table- linen and bed- linen and towels, how do you do about buying those things? 42803 But, Mary, why do you skip all the breakfasts and luncheons?
42803Could you not do with a maid as the Southerners do with their colored people, and give out stores every morning?
42803Did I say never? 42803 Did you buy them out of Incidentals?"
42803Do n''t you always buy things by the quantity? 42803 Do n''t you know those little pear- shaped yellow tomatoes you see in summer?
42803Do n''t you think we ought to do up some fruit for Aunt Maria, Mary?
42803Do you always write down what you are going to have? 42803 Do you buy bones and things for stock soup?"
42803Do you buy extra cream for these cereals?
42803Do you ever do up vegetables?
42803Do you ever have corned beef?
42803Do you mean hard- shelled clams or soft?
42803Do you mean you pour off the soup, and it is all right just as it is?
42803Do you never set the breakfast- table at night?
42803Do you put a bone in purà © es?
42803Do you really mean we are never to have a roast?
42803Do you really save much by making it yourself? 42803 Do you remember that friend of mother''s, Mrs. Grant, who had that perfect palace of a house and an income of fifty thousand dollars a year?
42803Do you suppose any mere man is going to know that he is eating cheap meat unless you actually tell him so in plain words? 42803 Do you wear the same thing summer and winter?"
42803Does n''t that sound good?
42803Does n''t your gas cost you a great deal each month? 42803 Does your jelly always''jell?''"
42803Have you any idea what you spend for meat a day?
42803How about luncheons, now? 42803 How about potatoes?"
42803How do you make that salad?
42803How do you make those?
42803How many do you use a week, anyway?
42803I do both ways; I say to myself when I buy anything,''What form can this take to- morrow?'' 42803 I suppose you had sweetbreads for luncheon once or twice?"
42803Is that all for to- day?
42803Is that the end of the lesson for the day?
42803It did? 42803 Mary, did you ever think what you would do if you had to live on just a few cents a day?
42803No new potatoes for us, I suppose?
42803Now, before I forget it, tell me why the drumsticks are to be served''on toast?'' 42803 Oh, that''s the trouble with the dinner- party, is it?
42803One thing more; do you believe it pays to spend so much time and thought and all that on doing over things? 42803 Suppose you ca n''t get crabs; what do you do then?"
42803Suppose you do n''t get enough for two nights, or the man eats more than you expected he would and you are short, what do you do then?
42803That reminds me; are you infallible, Mary? 42803 Then how am I to know what to do?
42803Then the first question to settle is this:''What is a little?'' 42803 Then what shall I put down under Rent?
42803This game evidently has more to it than you thought when you began to learn it, has n''t it? 42803 Was n''t that the''Weal and hammer''of the Boffins?"
42803Well, how is this? 42803 Well, is the last word that the city is the only place to live in economically?"
42803Well, leaving meals for a moment, do you try and cut down on other things, such as coffee, for example? 42803 Well, what do you think of the difference between it and this place?"
42803Well, why ca n''t I have a woman just to clean, say a day, or even half a day at a time, and put out my washing?
42803What do you think about meat? 42803 What forfeit?"
42803What have you written down?
42803What will you do? 42803 Whatever shall we do, now, Mary?
42803Where will you buy celery in July, my dear? 42803 Who waits on the table?"
42803Why did I go to all the trouble to teach you that Game of Menus, I''d like to know, if this is the result? 42803 Why do you begin with dinners?
42803You passed lightly over the subject of cake for supper; do n''t we have chocolate layer- cakes at all?
42803You use a coffee machine, I see; do you like it better than the old way of making the coffee in the kitchen?
42803And Mary, did you see what a big, big piece of roast was left over?"
42803And do you-- now honestly, Mary-- do you think I know enough to keep house all by myself?"
42803And is n''t it fine to have the money ahead instead of having to catch up later on when we have forgotten all about the occasion?"
42803And now one thing more about steak: did you ever hear of a flank steak?"
42803And why string- beans, when parsnips and salsify are plenty?
42803And with this enormous expense you pay for vegetables, milk, eggs, butter, and all the rest, and yet put pennies in the kitchen bank?"
42803Are there plenty of eggs?
42803Are we never to have those?"
42803Are we never, never to have that?
42803Are you so awfully fond of toast as all that?"
42803As for dessert, what will you have instead of mince pie?"
42803As to strawberries-- strawberries in July?"
42803Being both cheap and filling, what more could one ask?"
42803But I agree for this time, and when you have the larger luncheon you will get the waitress, wo n''t you?"
42803But how do you do about waiting on the table?
42803But if you can not have those and can not buy on purpose, what can you have?"
42803But if you have come to a stopping- place, may I speak?
42803But what is the matter with corned beef and cabbage?
42803But why have potatoes and barley at the same meal?
42803But why that particular pudding?"
42803But you get the idea, do n''t you?"
42803By the way, did you see me cook that?
42803Can you not have the canned cherries another way?"
42803Can you really economize on those?
42803Celery, however, I am afraid was rather expensive, was n''t it?
42803Could you not have had shredded cabbage instead?
42803Did you say you could or could not cut down on those?"
42803Did you see the butcher shop when we came up from the station?"
42803Do n''t you know how often the cook- books say,''serve with sippets of toast?''"
42803Do n''t you think we might leave desserts now?
42803Do n''t you think you might as well buy fresh ones as to put so much strength in these?"
42803Do we settle the servant question here and now, offhand?
42803Do you have a poorer quality to save money?"
42803Do you keep jumping up and down all the time?"
42803Do you lay in a supply every year at a regular time, or get them as you go along?"
42803Do you want your husband to expire in agonies that very same night?
42803Do you wear these gowns when you are alone?"
42803Go down- town for more?"
42803Has the bank suspended and are you considering how best to break the news to me, or has Dolly eloped with the ice- man?"
42803How about that dessert?"
42803How about the laundress''s bills and the cost of the dishes?"
42803How did you ever get them?"
42803How do you have such a pretty table all the time and still economize in everything, including time and strength?
42803How do you plan your meals?
42803How is this?
42803How is this?
42803However, I can remind you of them now, ca n''t I?
42803I seem to hear broilers cackling; or do n''t fowls cackle in the spring- time of their youth?
42803I suppose the custard does not call for eggs?"
42803I think I have sufficiently impressed that on your mind, have n''t I?"
42803I think I''ll do my own work and have a woman in to wash and iron and clean by the day; that will save something, wo n''t it?"
42803I wait on the table, I suppose?"
42803In other words, do you never make a mistake and overrun your allowance?
42803Is it really a nice place, Mary?"
42803Is n''t it a nuisance to have to make it?"
42803Is n''t it too provoking we ca n''t do that way in town?
42803Is n''t that a stroke of economy?
42803Is that for my benefit?
42803Is that the end of salads?"
42803It is quite a saving to have an ice instead of an ice- cream, is n''t it?
42803It seems strange and unpleasant, does n''t it?
42803It was a lovely and delicious meal, was n''t it, Dick?"
42803Let me see; what can we have?
42803Living has been very cheap this summer, has n''t it?"
42803Mary, do you think we shall ever be able to have a real live cow of our very own?"
42803Meanwhile, tell me truly: have you saved as much money as you expected to when we came out here?"
42803Now are not my stoves worth their weight in gold?
42803Now do you think I have told you enough about meat to enable you to keep the wolf from the door?"
42803Now for our table: do you suppose we could get some violets from the country?
42803Now what did it cost?"
42803Now what is to be to- day''s lesson?
42803Now what will it cost us a year for our table?"
42803Now when will you have another?"
42803Now who in the world can she possibly be engaged to?"
42803Now, why have in September the food you should reserve for winter, and why omit all the good fall vegetables and fruits?
42803One of them is this: do you always look as neat and trim when you do your work, or is this costume a sort of stage- dress for my benefit?"
42803Or is this closet the lesson all by itself?"
42803Perhaps there is a model cart with everything spick and span, and driver in a white jacket; who knows?"
42803Shall I say$ 40 a month and put down nothing for fuel?
42803Shall we have the little maid?"
42803Still winter?"
42803Suppose for a time you had practically nothing at all, how would you manage then?"
42803Tell me how much these are going to cost?"
42803Tell me instead whether you do up anything besides apples in winter?"
42803Tell me this: are we never to have any green things, celery or lettuce, for instance?"
42803That is really no trouble, is it?"
42803Then the steak; is n''t it fortunate that I had not put it over to cook?
42803What in the world are they?"
42803What shall we have for dinner to- night?
42803What should have begun that dinner, Dolly, in December?"
42803What will you have?"
42803What''s the matter?
42803When chair coverings wear out, and carpets, and your china set breaks to bits gradually till it disappears, do you fly to Incidentals, or what?"
42803Who could she possibly be engaged to but Fred Mason?
42803Why did you let me buy it, Dolly?
42803Why not substitute strips of veal, breaded?
42803Why not try this way?
42803Why soup at all?"
42803Why?"
42803You know what a shin of beef is, do n''t you?
42803You would not like to have a dyspeptic husband, would you?
31217''And does ye expect me to get the early breakfast for yer husband to be off in the train every mornin''?'' 31217 ''But who will get up your husband''s shirts?''
31217''Do n''t you know that the Stebbinses are worth five times as much as ever I was?'' 31217 ''Does ye expect me to do the washin''with the cookin''?''
31217''Father, how shall I_ seem_ to love them?'' 31217 ''Hast thou noticed whether people seem to have a call to hear thee?''
31217''How is that?'' 31217 ''How many has ye in yer family?''
31217''How many servants does ye keep, ma''am?'' 31217 ''Not afford it?''
31217A what?
31217Aha, my little mistresses, are you there?
31217And Sophie, what will she say to all this?
31217And did the waterfall and the jockey cost anything?
31217And do you think the free North has salt enough in it to save this whole Southern mass from corruption? 31217 And is it milking that baste you''d have me be after?"
31217And of what use is it to meet them? 31217 And shall you answer it, papa?"
31217And that plain little black one, with the stiff crop of scarlet feathers sticking straight up?
31217And what does he recommend?
31217And what have you to say to this,said my wife,"seeing you can not stop the prosperity of the country?"
31217And why is it two dollars a yard? 31217 And, pray, what commandment of the Bible ever said children should not play on Sunday?"
31217And,said Marianne,"how to find out what is nonsense?"
31217Are you Irish?
31217Are you in earnest in what you are saying, or are you only saying it for sensation? 31217 But do n''t you think,"said Jenny,"that something might be added and amended in the state of society our fathers established here in New England?
31217But do n''t you think,said Marianne,"that there is danger in too much fiction?"
31217But do n''t you think,said Pheasant,"that a certain fixed dress, marking the unworldly character of a religious order, is desirable?
31217But do n''t you think,said my wife,"that, if the charge of providing the entertainment were less laborious, these gatherings could be more frequent?
31217But for children and young people,said my daughter,--"would you let them read novels on Sunday?"
31217But is it possible for a girl to learn at school the things which fit for her family life?
31217But is there no standard of value?
31217But what are these principles? 31217 But what could have led you there?"
31217But what made you so afraid of McPherson?
31217But what then? 31217 But what, Mary?"
31217But who rules France?
31217But you see,said Marianne,"what are we to do?
31217But, after all,said Bob,"what do you gain?
31217But, my dear, do n''t you think that this will have a bad effect on the female character?
31217But,said I,"what could"--"What could induce me to do as I did?
31217Can I make girls to order? 31217 Confess, now,"said I, looking at them;"have you not had secret designs on the hall and stair carpet?"
31217Could n''t you get her plain sewing? 31217 Could you not correct her fault?"
31217Did you ever hear anything like it? 31217 Did you notice Mary''s agitation when I spoke of the McPhersons coming to Boston?
31217Do n''t like the butter, sir? 31217 Do n''t you know, Tom,"said the nurse to him once,"if you are so noisy and rude, you''ll disturb your dear mamma?
31217Do n''t you remember, Marianne, how many dismal, commonplace, shabby houses we trailed through?
31217Do n''t you think the customs of society make a difference? 31217 Do n''t you think, mamma,"said Marianne,"that there has been a sort of reaction against woman''s work in our day?
31217Do you know the day of the month?
31217Do you know,said I,"that I''m quite sure the Misses Fielder think they are practicing rigorous economy?"
31217Do you know,said Miss Featherstone,"I believe your papa is right?
31217Do you know,said my wife,"what yeast she uses?"
31217Do you think we could get that school in Taunton for her?
31217Do? 31217 Does she associate with the other girls?"
31217For the wants of this period what safe provision is made by the church, or by the state, or any of the boy''s lawful educators? 31217 Had she ever cooked?"
31217Has she ever told you anything of herself, Biddy?
31217Have you been accustomed to the care of the table,--silver, glass, and china?
31217Have you lived out much?
31217Have you looked at wall- papers, John?
31217Here is a correspondent who answers the question,''What shall we do with her?'' 31217 How can I drop her?
31217How could a girl dress for fifty dollars?
31217How is her handwriting? 31217 How_ are_ people to go to housekeeping,"said Jenny,"if everything costs so much?"
31217I can not make out our Mary,said I to my mother;"she is a perfect treasure, but who or what do you suppose she is?"
31217I have proved my point, Miss Jenny, have I not? 31217 I wonder if it is n''t just so with the men?"
31217In the boys''academies of our country, what provision is made for amusement? 31217 In these times of peril and suffering, if the inquiry arises, How shall there be retrenchment?
31217Is Mrs. Seymour at home?
31217Is it necessary absolutely that every woman and girl should look exactly like every other one? 31217 It is,"said my wife;"but why?
31217Let me see, what was I to write about?
31217Me? 31217 My dear, why do n''t you take your blocks upstairs?"
31217Now, is n''t he too bad?
31217Now, it is true, all women are not called to such a life as this; but might not all women take a leaf at least from their book? 31217 Now, papa, how could you know it?
31217Oh, as usual, the old question,said I,--"''What''s to be done with her?''"
31217Oh, that? 31217 Papa,"said Jenny,"it appears to me people do n''t exactly know what they want when they build; why do n''t you write a paper on housebuilding?"
31217Papa,said Marianne,"you are closing up your''House and Home Papers,''are you not?"
31217She does; will you walk in?
31217That is exactly like asking, Would you let them talk with people on Sunday? 31217 The outward expression of social good feeling becomes a mere form; but for that reason must we meet each other like oxen?
31217The thing is,said Marianne,"how can any woman, I, for example, know what is too much or too little?
31217Then why do you look for another?
31217Then you do not believe in influencing this subject of dress by religious persons''adopting any particular laws of costume?
31217Then,said my wife,"you believe that women ought to vote?"
31217There are only two to choose between,says the lady,--"green and maroon: which is the best for the picture?"
31217We know it''s silly, but we all bow down before it; we are afraid of our lives before it; and who makes all this and sets it going? 31217 Well now, papa talks just like a man, does n''t he?"
31217Well, Marianne, how many yards of this wonderfully cheap carpet do you want?
31217Well, but, papa,said Jenny,"do n''t you think all this a very severe test, if applied to us women particularly, more than to the men?
31217Well, but,said Miss Featherstone,"what can be got in America?
31217Well, did you ever see such a tyranny as this of fashion?
31217Well, is n''t it so?
31217Well, papa,said Jenny,"what are you meaning to make out there?
31217Well, papa,said Marianne,"in the matter of dress, now,--how much ought one to spend just to look as others do?"
31217Well, papa,said Marianne,"in your chemical analysis of John''s rooms, what is the next thing to the sunshine?"
31217Well, what shall we do with her?
31217Well,I answered,"is there any occupation, by which any of us gain our living, which has not its disagreeable side?
31217Well,said Bob,"do n''t you think there is a deal of nonsense about Sabbath- keeping?"
31217Well,said Bob,"the most interesting question still remains: What are to be the employments of woman?
31217Well,said Bob,"to return from all this to the question, What''s to be done with her?
31217Well,said Bob,"what would you have?
31217Well,said I,"ca n''t you have some little family sitting- room where you can make yourselves cosy?"
31217Well,said Jenny,"is n''t papa ever to go on with his paper?"
31217Well,said my wife,"can not we contrive to retain all that is really valuable of the Sabbath, and to ameliorate and smooth away what is forbidding?"
31217What are all the young girls looking for in marriage? 31217 What becomes of this girl?
31217What if you should put it all down into a basement,suggests Bob,"and so get it all out of sight together?"
31217What is she doing there?
31217What is the reason of this?
31217What is there for woman?
31217What is to be done?
31217What makes her shake her head in that way?
31217What provision is there for the amusement of all the shop girls, seamstresses, factory girls, that crowd our cities? 31217 What wages do you expect?"
31217What''s all this talk about?
31217What, Mary, are you going to learn a trade?
31217When will you come?
31217Whence come these girls? 31217 Where do they hide?
31217Who decides what the fashions shall be there?
31217Who doubts that?
31217Who is it that the Bible describes as a sun, arising with healing in his wings? 31217 Who knew it was so late?"
31217Why can not we Americans learn to amuse ourselves peaceably like other nations?
31217Why did n''t you tell my mother?
31217Why is it imperative that you should have two or three courses at every meal? 31217 Why not?"
31217Why should n''t it be? 31217 Why should not the professor lecture on home chemistry, devoting his first lecture to bread- making?
31217Why should there not be a professor of domestic economy in every large female school? 31217 Why, Bridget, what''s the matter?"
31217Why, Mary,said I, feeling a little mischievous,"do n''t you like the place?"
31217Why, my little princess, so long as I like_ you_ better than your fashions, and merely think they are not worthy of you, what''s the harm?
31217Why, then, what do you mean to do?
31217Why, what''s the matter now?
31217Why,said I,"do you suppose that''nothing to wear''is made in America?"
31217Will she die?
31217Would it not be so? 31217 Would you be plased, ma''am, to suit yerself with another cook?
31217Yes, that''s it; are people_ never_ to get a new carpet?
31217You do n''t mean,said my wife,"to propose that our protégée should go to Marianne as a servant?"
31217''Am not I free?
31217''As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be''"--"But what about your cathedral?"
31217***** I continued:--***** What ought"our house"to be?
31217*****"And do you really think, papa, that houses built in this way are a practical result to be aimed at?"
31217*****"I say, Marianne,"said Bob,"have we got fireplaces in our chambers?"
31217; this would be the form for a week or two, and then,''Mary, have you dusted the parlors?''
31217After the wail,"My God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
31217And if I drop her, who will take her up?"
31217And if the case be so with men, how is it with women?
31217And if there is retribution, on whose head should it fall?
31217And is it any kindness or reverence to woman, to educate her for such an inevitable destiny by a life of complete physical delicacy and incapacity?
31217And is there to be no retribution for a cruelty so vast, so aggravated, so cowardly and base?
31217And so with regard to the various articles of food,--why might not chemical lectures be given on all of them, one after another?
31217And the servants who learn of these mistresses,--what do they seek after?
31217And what comes of such marriages?
31217And what does this ideal prove to be among us?
31217And where can she go?
31217And who can blame her?
31217And why?
31217Are not his labors dry and hard and exhausting?
31217Are there no trials to a woman, I beg to know, in teaching a district school, where all the boys, big and little, of a neighborhood congregate?
31217Are they not the countries where the people are most oppressed, most unhappy in their circumstances, and therefore in greatest need of amusement?
31217Are you going to_ my_ distressed woman?
31217Are you satisfied of the existence of a sentiment that has no outward mode of expression?
31217But do they?
31217But is it possible, in maturity, to have the joyful fullness of the life of childhood?
31217But is there any need of this?
31217But is there no consolation?
31217But is this so?
31217But really, Mr. Crowfield, why do n''t you like the fashions?"
31217But to a tourist taking like chance in American country fare, what is the prospect?
31217But was there ever a thing of thy spotless and unsullied belongings which a boy might use?
31217But what is,--and who is?"
31217But where is the woman in any way too great, or too high, or too wise, to spend herself in creating a home?
31217But_ is_ it good temper, or only wanton carelessness, which cares nothing for waste?
31217Can I do anything more than try such as apply, when they seem to give promise of success?
31217Can I help knowing that she is poor and suffering?
31217Can any woman be such a housekeeper without inspiration?
31217Can human beings afford to throw away a vitalizing force so pungent, so exhilarating?
31217Can one individual resist the whole current of society?
31217Can the sun shine in the parlor now for fear of fading the carpet?
31217Can we keep a fire there for fear of making dust, or use the lounges and sofas for fear of wearing them out?
31217Crowfield?--some twelve or thirteen, are there not?
31217Did He make him for us to hold a life''s battle with?
31217Did n''t you know that?
31217Do any women work harder?
31217Do n''t you know there must n''t be such a thing as a bit of real work ever seen in a parlor?
31217Do they ever romp and frolic?
31217Do they love plants?
31217Do they sketch or paint?
31217Do they write letters, sew, embroider, crochet?
31217Do you know that I''m almost glad we ca n''t get new things?
31217Do you really think it would be best for us all to try to go back to that old style of living you describe?
31217Do you suppose family prayers, now, and a blessing at meals, make people any better?"
31217Do you think I do n''t know why my girls have the credit of being the best- dressed girls on the street?"
31217Do you think, as things are, we could go back and dress for the sum you did?"
31217Does it not seem poor economy to pay servants for letting our muscles grow feeble, and then to pay operators to exercise them for us?
31217Does it not show that foul air and improper food are too much matters of course to excite attention?
31217Does not the blacksmith spend half his life in soot and grime, that he may gain a competence for the other half?
31217Does not the lawyer spend all his days either in a dusty office or in the foul air of a court- room?
31217Does not this look as if a Mightier Power than ours were working in and for us, supplementing our weakness and infirmity?
31217Does she write a good hand?"
31217For John is rich, and what does he care for odds and ends and parings?
31217Has he not all the beasts of the forest, and the cattle on a thousand hills?
31217Has ye much company?''
31217Has_ she_ Love''s roses on her cheeks?
31217Have I not as good a right to do nothing as you?''
31217Have n''t I seen you mincing downstairs, with all your colors harmonized, even to your gloves and gaiters?
31217He comes for exercise and amusement,--he gets these, and a ticket to destruction besides,--and whose fault is it?"
31217How can people believe such things and be comfortable?
31217How can you say so?"
31217How could we tell under what strange aspects he might look forth upon us, when once he had passed into"that undiscovered country"of matrimony?
31217How does life run in such countries?
31217How many churches are there that for six or eight months in the year are never ventilated at all, except by the accidental opening of doors?
31217How many have any superabundance of vitality with which to meet the wear and strain of life?
31217How many would have firmness to vote against such an establishment merely because it was bad for society?
31217How much a year will be necessary, as the English say, to_ do_ this garden of Eden, whereinto shall enter only the poetry of life?"
31217How shall we be Amused?
31217How shall we entertain our Company?
31217I answered,"Are you not afraid to live and bring up your children in an atmosphere which blights your plants?"
31217I ca n''t myself blame people that shut up their rooms and darken their houses in fly- time,--do you, mamma?"
31217I do n''t believe we look any better now, when we are dressed, than we did then,--so what''s the use?"
31217II WOMAN''S SPHERE"What do you think of this Woman''s Rights question?"
31217IV IS WOMAN A WORKER"Papa, do you see what the''Evening Post''says of your New Year''s article on Reconstruction?"
31217If General Lee had been determined not to have prisoners starved or abused, does any one doubt that he could have prevented these things?
31217If an accident happened in the great roystering family of eight or ten children( and when was not something happening to some of us?
31217If it be her sovereign will and pleasure to enact all sorts of physiological absurdities in the premises, who shall say her nay?
31217If our daughters did as much for us, should we not be proud of their energy and heroism?
31217If she had all her windows open, there would be paint and windows to be cleaned every week; and who is to do it?
31217If there ever is a forbidden fruit in an Eden, will not our young Adams and Eves risk soul and body to find out how it tastes?
31217If this woman were to work in a factory, would she not often be brought into associations distasteful to her?
31217In how many of these places has the question of a thorough provision of fresh air been even considered?
31217In which of them do we not need fires on our hearths?
31217Is Woman a Worker?
31217Is he not brought into much disagreeable contact with the lowest class of society?
31217Is it altogether genteel to live as we do?
31217Is it any less drudgery to stand all day behind a counter, serving customers, than to tend a doorbell and wait on a table?
31217Is it necessary to go without hoops, and look like a dipped candle, in order to be unworldly?
31217Is it not the answer, that childhood is the only period of life in which bodily health is made a prominent object?
31217Is it not time that civilization should learn to demand somewhat more care and nicety in the modes of preparing what is to be cooked and eaten?
31217Is it not to ape all the splendors and vices of old aristocratic society?
31217Is it not to be able to live in idleness, without useful employment, a life of glitter and flutter and show?
31217Is n''t her father rich enough to support her?
31217Is she handy with her needle?"
31217Is that vital power which reddens the cheek of the peach and pours sweetness through the fruits and flowers of no use to us?
31217Is the house inhabited?
31217Is the man a personal friend, that he wishes to make you a present of a dollar on the yard, or is there some reason why it is undesirable?"
31217Is_ hers_ an eye of this world''s light?
31217It is the slave who dances and sings, and why?
31217Jenny Lind once, when she sang at a concert for destitute children, exclaimed in her enthusiasm,"Is it not beautiful that I can sing so?"
31217Might it not be the same in any of the arts and trades in which a living is to be got?
31217Might not some of the refinement and trimness which characterize the preparations of the European market be with advantage introduced into our own?
31217Must one wear such a fright of a bonnet?"
31217Must we keep the old one till it actually wears to tatters?"
31217Must we never use any of the forms of mutual good will, except in those moments when we are excited by a real, present emotion?
31217My dear, can you sketch the ground plan of that house we saw in Brighton?"
31217No?
31217Not that it was any business of mine; but then a fellow likes to know his ground before-- Before_ what_?
31217Now by what possible calling open to her capacity can she pay her board and washing, fuel and lights, and clear a hundred and some odd dollars a year?
31217Now for getting"help,"as Mrs. Trollope says; and where and how were we to get it?
31217Now what is the matter with domestic service?
31217Now what shall be the ground- tint of our rooms?"
31217Now why does not this very obvious philosophy apply to better and higher feelings?
31217Now why is this?
31217Now, what will become of us all if your restlessness about this should be the means of Mary''s leaving us?
31217O ye watchers of the cross, ye waiters by the sepulchre, what can be said to you?
31217OR, THE WOMAN QUESTION"Well, what will you do with her?"
31217One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all?
31217Or was there any old affair?
31217Papa, how can you expect to learn about these things?"
31217People often wonder,''How do you catch So- and- so?
31217Query: Do they sleep with closed windows and doors, and with heavy bed- curtains?
31217Shall they not have somebody to look down upon?
31217Sit down and receive our visitor with all good will and the freedom of a home?
31217Smile?
31217So far we are all agreed, are we not?"

31217The house and the children are not Biddy''s; and why should she care more for their well- being than the mistress and the mother?
31217Then, did you ever see a better, wider, airier dining- room?
31217They look very pretty with it, to be sure; but, after all, is there but one style of beauty?
31217Things are not yet gone to destruction, only going,--and why not have a good time on deck before the ship goes to pieces?
31217Thus first it would be,''Mary, wo n''t you see to the dusting of the parlors?
31217To be sure, she smiles on you; but what of that?
31217To begin, then, with the very foundation of a good table,--_Bread_: What ought it to be?
