APPENDIX.
It has become necessary to change the title of this work
to the "_American_ Frugal Housewife," because there is an
_English_ work of the same name, not adapted to the wants of
this country.
INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER
The true economy of housekeeping is simply the art of gathering up all
the fragments, so that nothing be lost. I mean fragments of _time_,
as well as _materials_. Nothing should be thrown away so long as it
is possible to make any use of it, however trifling that use may be;
and whatever be the size of a family, every member should be employed
either in earning or saving money.
