Minor punctuation errors fixed on pages 45 and 162. Punctuation on
Plates 4, 5, 6, 16, 20, 22, 34, 39, 40, 41, 42, 42a, 44 was made
consistent with the other Plates. Variable use of the words fire-place,
fireplace, Croutons, and Croûtons were retained. Other variations in
hyphenated words were retained only when they seemed to be used for
emphasis or when part of a quoted letter. The following changes were
made for consistency or due to typographical error:
Page 31, "house-work" changed to "housework." (...neither do they have
to do housework...)
Page 79, "talboys" changed to "tallboys." (...tallboys in a shocking
state of ill-usage.)
Page 121, "fourquarter" changed to "forequarter." (...a forequarter of
lamb has been in the house...)
Page 134, "House-Work" changed to "Housework." (A Letter from a
Professional Woman who does her own Housework.)
Plate 15, "WASH-STAND" changed to "WASHSTAND." (GAS-HEATED TOWEL RAIL
AND FIXED WASHSTAND)
Plate 32, "ELECTRC" changed to "ELECTRIC." (AN ELECTRIC KITCHEN IN A
CITY INSTITUTION.)
