The married woman who seeks a position in the world of society must, therefore, keep house. And, with housekeeping, there comes at once to the American woman a world of care far beyond that of her European sisters.

After 450 A.D., monasticism suffered an eclipse for over half a century. It seemed as if the Western institution was destined to end in that imbecility and failure which overtook the Eastern system.

As the ocean routes became more clearly defined, and the limitations and character of international trade more systematized, there sprung up a new type of American ship-master.
