A PRUDENT HOUSEWIFE. ‘Wite of President Kruger Atfenda to All Details of Her 2, —Hieme Establishment, mEMra, Kruger, the wife of the president of the Transvaal republic, does her’ own cooking, although her husband is twenty-five times a millionaire, The husband, who is of a frugal disposition, not only approves of his wife’s supervision of the kitchen work, but says it is her duty to do the work in order to save expense. Not only does Mrs. Kruger cook, -but she frequently washes the clothing of the family and scrubs and rolls the clothes with the skill and strength of the best of them. She also insists upon ‘making her own beds.

Kruger personally waits upon them. This duty she will not intrust to a servant, for she says her husband’s guests must be served) just as if they were.at their own tables. She may be stingy in other things, but is liberal to a fault in what she sets before friends. Every plate is heaped with the .best of well-cooked. food, every glass is kept full to the brim with choice It is the pride of “Auntie” Kruger that her household. expenses. never exséed the sym appropriated by the volksd, $2,000 a year.
