About this book
Mrs. Hale's Receipts for the Million by Sarah Josepha Buell Hale presents itself as a family directory covering useful, ornamental and domestic arts and the conduct of life. The cleaning directions describe treating decanters with broken eggshells, coarse brown or blotting paper, pearlash and lukewarm water before shaking and rinsing them. The instructions for bottles with bad smells call for paper and water, shaking, a wait of a day or two, and repetition if needed.
The gardening directions say that lining a cucumber or melon bed with tiles helps improve the fruit and give it a proper flavour. The clothing advice states that, as a general rule, a tucked skirt takes more material than a flounced skirt and makes less show for the amount used.
