I feel properly apologetic for venturing to introduce the Amateur Homemaker to her sister professionals; for, quite rightly, the amateur is not highly regarded by the finished artist. It is much as if the first-reader class should call on Professor Noble to give him some pointers on literature. Still, there may be a place in some corner for the amateur also, when she scrupulously refrains from encroaching on the preserves of the professional, and contents herself with housekeeping as a sport.
