Here are pages which will probably save the small cost of the whole volume many times over, in the numerous expenses for repairs which they will do away with, and will also inspire the housekeeper or the male members of the family to add many home-made articles of comfort and convenience to the housekeeping outfit. Mending broken furniture, windows, brick or stone work, plumbing, painting, wall paper, and the thousands of things about a house which are liable to get out of order, means money in pocket if you can do it without having to call in a high-priced mechanic. There are many men who could employ evenings in making handsome and durable pieces of furniture, and at the end of the year find themselves richer and more comfortable for it. The value of this section of the work can scarcely be overestimated. All the directions are so clear that the most inexperienced can scarcely go astray.
