A famous English physician In lec tures to his fellow workers recently said: "Cooking is a powerful moral agent, capable of, influencing men's opinions and feelings to a very great extent. Some may think in speaking of cooking, as a moral agent, I am greatly exaggeratlug Its power, and may regard it as idle folly, if I go still further and say that cookery is not only a powerful moral agent In regard to individuals, but may be of great service In regenerating a nation. Yet in saying this, I believe I am speaking quite within bounds;' and I believe that schools of cookery for the wives of working men in this country will do more to abolish drinking hab its than any number of teetotal asso ciations." In thjs country we are fast recognizing the truth of the physi cian's statement; and our schools are aiming to give scientific and practical knowledge along the lines of cooking and many of them go farther outline lessons in housekeeping in all its phases to laundry work and nursing. They, as educators, are fast recogniz ing that it Is the highest vocation to which any woman Is oalled; that the health ami happiness not only of the family but the nation are dependent upon her fitness for this most import ant profession. This Is usually begun in the seventh and eighth grades at 4 V IrsLAlice. 5itchrfL lark , school. Why not begin with them la th'e kindergarten? There is where they are ready to begin to use their hands. There are very first lessons which may be taught at home. Our little lad t years old made most of the cookies today, even to standing on the step ladder chair and, with holder in hand, at least thought he was watching the oven. But I hear some one say "it is a bother" and "he musthave been in the way."' Well, maybe that Is true, but the appreciation of those cookies by him when done because he had a "hand in it," more than compensated for the trouble. Someone has said. "Teach our girls first the care of thi? kitchen sink, garbage pail, etc." I am not so sure about that. Teach thorn order In their rooms, bureau drawers and closets even when two or thre-. years old or younger in having a plac for their toys, then that will quickly show itself in the kitchen when they have any work to be done there. They can begin with cranberries, or appl sauce, as they can core the apples, slice without peeling, cook and rub through a colander and sweeten. That Is the best and easiest apple sauce made and I have had many a kinder garten or first grade child make it. So It can and should be done in the hont in that beautiful close relationship of mother and daughter working togeth er. Begin when young, and their hands and minds will grow and devel op together;, and not watt until they reach a certain age when, neither mentally nor physically are they in terested In learning cooking. There is no age when they are too young to begin nor too old to stop. There Is a constant plea to broaden the work In the schools but this la a plea for creating every possible Inter est for our girls to learn to cook in the home.

The d'Cerance being in favor. Indeed rery much in favor, of those of today. And, oh yes! The skirts are also shorter. AH of which merits our deliberation. The discussion of a topic of this sort require the utmost tact and deli cacy. We would offend a great many of our good readers should we blurt out soma unseasonable and indecorous comment on this new style. We must pilot carefully around the shoals of Indelicacy. We must not, for exam ple, say "legs." And yet it must be ; admitted that since okirts are to be tighter and shorter we are going to , be rather forcibly reminded of the I fact that (say, it's the deuce trying !to phrase tHs gracefully) the gentle Jaex are not without a meaiu of i had one, would be able to embark up on a trolley.

No doubt a great many of the other aex will wear this incapacious garment. Also it seems likely that quite a few of them will, at one time or another hare occasion to get on a car. How te it to be done without well, how Ja it to be done? , Qur solution: Let the wearer of the sparse skirt carry with her a screen that can b arranged in such a way when aha ia boarding the boat that the fnnocent bystander will have no reason for pausing in the course of hi every-day activities.
