"Dost do much of such folly?" he asked, but there was a tremble in his voice. Nello coloured and hung his head. "I draw everything I see," he murmured. The miller was silent; then he stretched his hand out with a franc in it. "It is folly, as I say, and evil waste of time; nevertheless, it is like Alois, and will please the house-mother. Take this silver bit for it and leave it for me."
Miss North pressed a button on her desk after a moment and a neat maid entered. "Ask Mrs. Goodwin to come here, Martha, please." Mrs. Goodwin must have been in waiting, for she made her appearance quickly; a motherly looking woman with an alert, cheerful countenance. "Our house-mother, Mrs. Goodwin, Miss Clyde Miss Ashe. Miss Clyde would like to see the room we have reserved for her niece, Mrs.
The homely virtues of the household, the ordinary workaday virtues which make the woman a good housewife and house-mother, which make the man a hard worker, a good husband and father, a good soldier at need, stand at the bottom of character. But of course many others must be added thereto if a State is to be not only free but great.
"I feel miserable," said a feeble house-mother, just recovering from sickness; "but I managed to crawl out into the kitchen, and stir up a loaf of cake." Now, why should a sick woman have crawled out into the kitchen, to stir up a loaf of cake? Was that a paramount duty, one which demanded the outlay of her little all of strength?
The houses are gay in appearance, and are adorned with carved and coloured woodwork. One dwelling will contain as many as a hundred people, who form a sa-mandei, or mother-hood. Again we find the family consisting of the house-mother and her descendants in the female line sons and daughters, and the daughters’ children. McGee thus describes these maternal households
The Abbe Niollant's pupil learned to be fearless in criticism and ready in judgement; it never occurred to her tutor that qualities so necessary in a man are disadvantages in a woman destined for the homely life of a house-mother.
I shall marry her to an honest man, and she will make a good wife and a good house-mother." "Mind you choose him well!" said Winnington, with a shrug. His eyes at that moment were critically bent on a group of Berliners, men of the commercial and stock-broking class, who, with their wives, had arrived a couple of nights before. The men were strolling and smoking below.
Apprenticeship for both male and female was finally well established, and many women became the successful heads of prosperous industries. The wage was, as it is to-day, the merest pittance; but any wage whatever was an advance upon the conditions of earlier servitude. Life had small joy for women in those days we call the "good old times." Take the married woman, the house-mother of that period.
Newman, who mothered so many college generations of girls at Norumbega, and will always be to them the ideal house-mother, when old alumnae speak these names, their hearts glow with unchanging affection. But the most vivid of all these pioneers, and one of the most widely known, was Carla Wenckebach.
This description of a good 'house-mother' attests the honourable position of woman in Israel. It would have been impossible in Eastern countries, where she was regarded only as a plaything and a better sort of slave. The picture is about equally far removed from old-world and from modern ideas of her place. This 'virtuous woman' is neither a doll nor a graduate nor a public character.
