Consumers' Corner Today's Housewife -- Valuable Commodity Today, even the word "house­ wife" is in dispute. The term has recently come in for lively discussion among its practitioners, their husbands, and other interested parties. While suggested alternate terms have ranged from "household engineer" to "domestic economists," many a housewife will say it's not the terminology so much as its in­ terpretation that's at stake. An ongoing study under a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture gives a measure of what it would cost to replace the work at home with hired services. Here are some of the Andings: In an average family with two children, one a 5-year-old, the other an infant, the mother puts in 70 hours a week. The dollar value of her labor amounts to $146 on a weekly basis. A woman with three older chil­ dren between the ages of 6 and 11 would be performing services worth $108 a week. If there are four children be­ tween the ages of 6 and 11, the value of the wife's labor would amount to $117 a week. Temper And Pride Your temper gets you into trouble and pride keeps you there.

To have something different and not-too-sweet to serve can be a problem. Here is an elegant Cham­ pagne Tea Punch -- a re­ freshing Constant Comment tea-based sipper with just enough spirits and bubbles to make the occasion light- hearted and fun! To go with it, offer tea sandwiches filled with watercress and thin slices of cucumber. A holiday gathering at your home can be memora­ ble without being elaborate. Dress up the table with a crimson holiday cloth, fresh evergreens, holly and can­ dles. Add the festive punch and little sandwiches--that's all you need. Instead of a punch bowl, serve the Champagne Tea Punch from a tall crystal pitcher. Substitute cham­ pagne or stemmed cocktail glasses for punch cups. This glowing amber punch has a base of the Bigelow time-honored favorite tea flavored with the rind of orange and sweet spice. It is enhanced with just the right combination of brandy and champagne to make a mem­ orable Christmas refresh­ ment.
