When I was a lass.....

I like books like these that give you a hint to some of the lost 'art' of being a domestic technician. I have some of my Gran's old sewing books, she taught me to knit, not that I actually remember how to cast on/off etc, but do remember the scarf had more holes in it than stitches.

This quote made me laugh.
Cautions in the home:
Learning to slow down and to obey the rules of order is as necessary in the home as on the highway. Accidents are not as liable to occur when a home is run systematically.

I'm not sure that a home being run 'systematically' is possible with kids!? Sounds more like bootcamp.
