PREFACE
This little book is not a treatise on Domestic Science. The vacuumcleaner and the fireless cooker are not even mentioned. The efficientkitchen devised in such an interesting and clever way has no place init. Its exclusive object is to suggest a satisfactory and workablesolution along modern lines of how to get one's housework efficientlyperformed without doing it one's self.
If the propositions that she advances seem at first startling, thewriter begs only for a patient hearing, for she is convinced by strongreasons and abundant experience, that liberty in the household, likesocial and political liberty, can never come except from obedience tojust law.
