Ten Shillings a Head per Week for House - Books : an

Indispensable Manual for Housekeepers. By Mrs. C. S. Peel. (Constable and Co. 3s. 6d.)—When a book announces itself as indispensable, the public is apt to reflect how extremely well they got on without it. This little book, however, should prove a very good guide to young housekeepers beginning their business, though it contains nothing new to women who have been at the head of a house for some time. It is an economical little work, and certainly shows how to get the most out of the sum allowed.
