Directions for the Cook.
Sunday.—Rise as early as on other days. No work is to be done that can be properly avoided.
Monday.—Rise early in hot weather, to have the cool of the day for work. Try to have everything done in the best manner. See that the clothes line is brought in at night, and the clothes pins counted and put in the bag. Put the tubs, barrel, and pails used, on the cellar bottom.
Inquire every night, before going to bed, respecting breakfast, so as to make preparation beforehand.
Tuesday.—Clean the kitchen and sink-room. Bake, and fold the clothes to iron the next day.
Wednesday.—Rise early in warm weather, so as to iron in the cool of the day.
Thursday.—Fold off the clothes. No other special work.
Friday.—Clean all the closets, the kitchen windows, the cellar stairs, and the privies. Try up all the grease, and put it away for use.
Saturday.—Bake, and prepare a dinner for Sunday.
Every day but Monday, wipe the shelves in the pantry and kitchen closet.
