"Well, now, there is one cheap uggs online very excellent, necessary, and womanlyaccomplishment that no girl should be without, for it is a help torich and poor, and the comfort of families depends upon it. Thisfine talent is neglected nowadays, and considered old-fashioned,which is a sad mistake, and one that I don't mean to make inbringing up my girl. It should be a part of every girl's education,and I know of a most accomplished lady who will teach you in thebest and pleasantest manner.""Oh, what is it?" cried Rose eagerly, charmed to be met in thishelpful and cordial way.
     　　"Housekeeping!" answered Dr. Alec.
     　　"Is that an accomplishment?" asked Rose, while her face fell, forshe had indulged in all sorts of vague, delightful dreams.
     　　"Yes; it is one of the most beautiful as well as useful of all the artsa woman can learn. Not so romantic, perhaps, as singing, uggs discount painting,writing, or teaching, even; but one that makes many happy andcomfortable, and home the sweetest place in the world. Yes, youmay open your big eyes; but it is a fact that I had rather see you agood housekeeper than the greatest belle in the city. It need notinterfere with any talent you may possess, but it is a necessary partof your training, and I hope that you will set about it at once, nowthat you are well and strong.""Who is the lady?" asked Rose, rather impressed by her uncle'searnest speech.
     　　"Aunt Plenty.""Is she accomplished?" began Rose in a wondering tone, for thisgreat-aunt of hers had seemed the least cultivated of them all.
     　　"In the good old-fashioned way she is very accomplished, and hasmade this house a happy home to us all, ever since we discount uggs for women canremember. She is not elegant, but genuinely good, and so belovedand respected that there will be universal mourning for her whenher place is empty. No one can fill it, for the solid, homely virtuesof the dear soul have gone out of fashion, as I say, and nothing newcan be half so satisfactory, to me at least.""I should like to have people feel so about me. Can she teach me todo what she does, and to grow as good?" asked Rose, with a littleprick of remorse for even thinking that Aunt Plenty was acommonplace old lady.
     　　"Yes, if you don't despise such simple lessons as she can give. Iknow it would fill her dear old heart with pride and pleasure tofeel that anyone cared to learn of her, for she fancies her day goneby. discount ugg boots Let her teach you how to be what she has been a skilful, frugal,cheerful housewife; the maker and the keeper of a happy home,and by and by you will see what a valuable lesson it is.""I will, uncle. But how shall I begin?""I'll speak to her about it, and she will make it all right with Dolly,for cooking is one of the main things, you know.""So it is! I don't mind that a bit, for I like to mess, and used to tryat home; but I had no one to tell me, so I never did much but spoilmy aprons. Pies are great fun, only Dolly is so cross, I don't believeshe will ever let me do a thing in the kitchen.""Then we'll cook in the parlour. I fancy Aunt Plenty will cheap moncler jackets for women manageher, so don't be troubled. Only mind this, I'd rather you learnedhow to make good bread than the best pies ever baked. When youbring me a handsome, wholesome loaf, entirely made by yourself,I shall be more pleased than if you offered me a pair of slippersembroidered in the very latest style. I don't wish to bribe you, butI'll give you my heartiest kiss, and promise to eat every crumb ofthe loaf myself.""It's a bargain! it's a bargain! Come and tell aunty all about it, forI'm in a hurry to begin," cried Rose, dancing before him toward theparlor, where Miss Plenty sat alone knitting contentedly, yet readyto run at the first call for help of any sort, from any quarter.
