Her eyes are clear hazel, and she is distin-
guished by q lock Of snowy hair over the

While all these clever women are looking
after the Chautauqua mentality, another
bright woman Is attending to the Chau-
tauqua stomach. Mrs. Emma P. Ewing,
who is recognized as the abiest teacher of
household science in the United States. has
been in charge of the school of cookery at
Chautaugua for six summers, and has be-
sides given lectures and lessons at various
other summer assem- blies.
Mrs. Ewing was born in New York, but
has lived for good share of her life in
Kansas. She became impressed that good
cooking is the prime factor in the physical,
moral and intellectual development of the
individual In 1880 she located in Chicago,
opened a training school Of cookery and
conducted it in highly satisfactory man
rer until 1883, when she was appointed pro-
fessor Of domestic economy in the Iowa
Agricultural college. After that she held
e similar position in an Indiana university,
signing it to organize school OF house
hold science, which is now in successful
operation in Kansas City.
Mrs Ewing believes that poor cooking
has driven more men 10 drink thEn al the
barrooms in the country. She ID a COM
mon sense cook. An eminent writer, who
is engaged in helping the masses TO better
lives in practical fashion, spoke with right

Mrs. Ewing would De a Joy 70 this writ

came up to the cart and bowed low. Then

place and no medicine of any kind. There
was salt and pepper, though, and whisky.

make an ostrich cough.

two minutes he was sound asleep In
twenty minutes he was wide awake, sober,
and, as he said. Right as trivet."
We drove on for miles in the calm moon

and l was happy; for the Argonaut de-
clared that the drinks from the black
bottle had been the fell cause of all his
woes, and he said he would not drink an
other drop.
We reached the tollgate at last. 1t was
very late, and the man who collected the
revenues of the state was in no good hui

were drowned in a cheerful gurgle, and
we drove on.
The Argonaut hiccoughed
Just seeing him drink has started me
again." he muttered, and he subsidized
once more.
The road ran very straight for the next
five miles, and the Argonaut slum bered
peacefully.
The stage left at o'clock in the morn

quarter past 8.
We met a numbering vehicle coming up

When Chautauqua takes hold of any
cult it is with heart and soul. The writer
we'll remembers when one slender little
woman, the embodiment of spirit, fire and
dew, came, saw and conquered with Del
sartean forces. Mrs. Emily Bishop teaches
and lectures upon the Delsarte doctrines,
which are fast becoming something more
potential than mere fad. Now that fash
lon has set her decree of approval on the
study of Delsarte, we may confidently pre-
dict an epidemic of the gospel of grace
But possibly Delsarte may be something
more than a mere craze. Certainly, at
Chautauqua, no single department is more
popular or prosperous than that presided
over by Mrs. Bishop. 1t bears the mystic
little Of the Pyscho-Physical Culture class.
Mrs. Bishop has all the skill of Henrietta
Russell without the eccenUricities of that
lady. From the tumble, nonsense and
mysticism of Delsarte Mrs. Bishop has
brought order, beauty and grace. She
calls her work the 'Americanized Delsarte
SYSTEM" saying that by Americanizing it
she has simply made it of practical use to
everyday people.
