  Dutch Housewifery. In his papers 
upon Old New York (1846), John Fanning 
Watson pays a just tribute to Knicker- 
bocker housekeepers. 
  " The cleanliness of Dutch housewifery was 
always extreme. Everything had to submit to 
scrubbing and scouring; dirt in no form could 
be endured by them, and dear as water was in 
the city, where it was generally sold, still it was 
in perpetual requisition. It was their honest 
pride to see a well-furnished dresser, showing 
copper and pewter in shining splendor as if for 
ornament rather than for use.  In all this they 
differed widely from the Germans, a people with 
whom they have been erroneously and often 
confounded.  Roost fowls and ducks are not 
more different. As water draws one it repels 
the other."
