Excerpt from Household Management
Yet with production passed practically out of the control of the home, we find the other branch of Economics, consumption, still chiefly confined there. Most of the wealth acquired outside is expended on either the home or the interests closely connected with it. Women thus become the main directors of these expenditures. It is generally conceded that most of them stand in great need of a better understanding of the importance of the work that is theirs, and of the principles which underlie all correct economy.
