/ DEVOURING LOVE

Fair Charlotte--it Is she love!
lhe has such charming grace;
20 angel from the skies above
Could ever take her place!
Twould be unfair to tell you why
/ often with her sup.
bh, my! She Is so sweet that
Could almost eat her upl
Although she's dull as she can be,
And soft (the little sinner), ~
The often gets the best of me-
Especially at dinner.
Enough cold, 1 like her just as we'll
I like her like the deuce!
and now her other name I'll tell;
Her name is Charlotte Russo.

We doff our hat to the new science of
tekology. 1t Is possible that you don't
tnow what that science is, in which
went the best plan is to reproduce the
substance of a recent lecture at the
orexel institute, Philadelphia, in which
Miss Katharine Bement Davis ex-
blamed that 1t Is simply a new name
lor the domestic science, or science of
Housekeeping as the laywoman would
Iay: "A century ago." said Miss Davis,
1T was the fashion to be good house
wife. Then the mothers Transmitted

household requirements. Then semi
aaries and private schools for girls were
opened and the result was that they
lrrived at the age Of 16 without any
practical knowledge of the manage
nent of home. and after a year or
Two spent in society they married. They
had no training such as their mothers
had, and think some Of us in this gen.
sration are suffering from the evils
which followed this ignorance of house,
hold affairs, especially cookings. After
! while cooking schools We're estab-
ished to teach women how to prepare
.ood properly. For most Of our success
depends upon our good health, and our
health depends upon the kind of
sood we have and the kind of house
we live In. No more good can come
rom any other science than from the
science of oekology. and soon there will
be no science which 1t will be so neces-
Dary to study as that. No housewife
should attempt to bring up a family
without knowing something of the
structure Of the body and Of the laws
Of health. A thorough knowledge Of
hygiene Is necessary for the person
who is going to take up the question of
household economics. The knowledge
bf bacteriology is also very essential.
This science treats of the microscopic
organisms in the air we breathe, that
may enter our houses through i'm
proper drainage. 1t IL these bacteria
which are responsible for the souring
of milk. the decay of fruit and the
gpoiling Of meat. Many diseases are
aue to bacteria, and as there are ways
of guarding against these organisms
tome knowledge of bacteriology is very
essential for the housekeeper." Miss

and ventilate house knowledge of
physics was necessary. The housewife
should be familiar with chemistry, also,
she said, because It te.is.us about the
composition of food, and what effect
cooking has upon it. Geology should
govern us In our choice of a building
site. SO that we may know what To-
cality is healthy, and where we will
have proper drainage
