night, was very well attended and the exer.
cises of the evening very interesting. Mr.,

which gives her the power and capacity te
be beneficial to others. through the medium
OF her own mental requirements. He ol,im-
ell that one of the most captivating accom-
pislments which woman could have in the
hearts Of the sterner sex was her knowledge
of the art Of cooking. That a married mans
