And. out in the great green world.

And the woman smiled.

Up his snIning ladder of dew,
And the airs Of daw walked softly about

Filling the morning sky with the scent Of

Kansas Cooking Club.
citizens.

One of the chief objections which has
been urged against collegiate education and
the ballot for women, says Good House
keeping, has been that the study OF Greek
and going to the polls would be detrimental
to the home. A woman who knew politics
would never cook. Wouldn't she though!
Listen to this from Kansas, where women
have been head and heels in politics for
some years past. They've turned their at
tention to raising the standard of cooking.
And this is only one of the straws which
show the set of the wind.
Out in Kansas they've organized dining
room club, whose object according to the
preamble of its constitution is Ito promote
good cookery, master the details Of house
keeping and remove the preju lice which,
among Americancborn girls, exists against
service in the kichen and the home"
Nothing small about the ambition of that
club at any rate.
However, the club is a close corporation,
and admission is considered something of
an honor. The young woman who is filled
with desire to join the club must prepare
a dinner for at least six persons. Every ar
ticle OF food appearing on the table must be
prepared and served by the candidate. 4 No

ton OF the courses, in tact, every detail OF
the dinner must be the WORK of the young
woman who aspires to mem bership. This
is not the severest test, however. On the
DAY appointed, SIX members of the club,
with properly wheCted appetites, appear as
a committee and consume The vlands. After

titled TO appear and be initiated member
of the Dining Room CluD. She must SUBJ
scribe to the following constitution and
agree to promote its PRINCIPLES to the best
or her ability:
ARTICLE 1.-The young woman VIII is
ashamed to work in the kitchen has not earned
the right to play in the parlor.
ARTICLE 1.-THE Queen OF DENIM ark has very
often prepared her own breakfast. We believe
few more American queens i'll American house
holds would help solve the 'hired girl" problem
ARTILE III.-Plain food cooked and served
according to simple rules OF health is better than
fancy dishes with foreign names and doctors
bills attached.
ARTICLE 1--WE do not believe woman
should be slave in the kitchen, but we do bee
lieve she should consider homework honorable
ARTICLE we believe we can elevate the
standard OF service in the home by insisting that
all house servants be recognized as other wage
earners. as clerks, stenographers or factory
hands,
That ought to satisfy the most pessimistic
observer of the progress of woman and the
recognition of her rights before the law of
the land, that instead of decaying, the art of
housewifery and cooking, under the infiu-
ence of wider knowledge, will become more
scientific, something more than an art in
name only. 1t ought to reconcile the "maie"
TO his expulsion from the constitution and
the loss of few of his exclusive rights.

The Word WIFE"

What do you think the beautiful word
"w1fe' comes from? The great value of the
Saxon words IS that they mean something.
Wife means weaver" You must eithe. be
housewives or housem oths, remember that.
In the deep sense, you must either weave
mems fortunes and embroider them, Or feed
upon and bring them to decay. Wherever
a true wife comes, home is always around
her. The stars may be over her head, the
glow-worm in the nights cold grass may be
the fire at her feet; but home is where she
is and for noble woman, it stretches far
around her, better than houses ceiled with
cedar, shedding It's quiet life for those who
else are homeless. This, believe, is wo-
mans true place and power Ruskin.

Woman in Business.

While woman Is brought to such promi-
hence before the eyes of the world, the ques-
ton is often asked docs she make sue
Cess. is she suited for business life?" Listen
what knowing one says regarding her:
Yes, of course she is. There is no longer
any question about it. She has proven it
beyond any doubt to all who are not SO
blind they will not see. am old-fashioned
enough to think that woman's true sphere
is in the home as wife and mother. Woman
was originally intended for mans compile
ment. for his adornmenr and to minister to
his happiness. She to be the graceful
appendage to his entire life Why, then, is
she in the fight? Because she feels that she
has to be. If men had proven fit supports
for women it would never have occurred to
women that they could support themselves.
The conclusion was forced upon them. A
pennv earned to do as one pleases with is
worth more than a dollar grudgingly given,
and for which one has to account. Man is
not the intelligent giant he might be.
Whiskey and tobacco, late hours and licen-
tiousness of all kinds have left their impress
upon his mind, morals and health as well
as b~nk account, and women have found it
mt. Men made one code of morals for
themselves and another for women. They
were to spend the best part of life in riotous
living, but girls must stay at home, learn
we'll lessons of economy and submission,
cultivate all the grace and virtues in order
that when men had sown an immense crop
of wild OATS they could have haven of
rest kep for them and sweet-darling wife
to love and comfort them while 'reaping
the tares." And, worst of all, she must
bear good portion of the burden, and he
thinks she ought to be grateful to him for
supporting her, when, in fact, she works
like a slave for mere board and clothes, and
too often they are grudgingly given. sup
pose it is an open question whether the
state of affairs as it now exists is the result
of women having pushed themselves to the
front, caused men to be less mindful of their
wants, or because men having grown neg
lectfuI. women were compelled to go into
business to support themselves and children.
But in either case women are in business
and are shifting themselves TO business life

Daughters.

NV friend, don't complain if your daugh-
ter has not married as we'll as you had
hoped for. 1t is largely your fault that she
didn't; yes sir, your fault and that of her
mother. Iquite agree with you that Mary
is noble girl and we'll worthy of better
prospects in life. Of course, you expected
that so sensible and pretty girl would
marry some time-that is natural enough
and had you given as earnest consideration
TO the childs future welfare as you do that
OF your COWS and horses you would not now
repent the marriage that places her III a
position of drudgery the balance or her life.
Had you been more conslderate of her as
sociations, had you been more generous in
invICng and welcoming the better class of
young men in your neighDorh0od, the more
intelligent and prosperous, your daughter
might have formed their acquaintance and
from them her choice. You certainly do
not expect young LADY to make house to
house inspection for an eligible husband, do
you? And upon whom may she depend
for a proper acquaintance into the moral
and material fitness OF prospective mate
l.
Judgment Ut her father?
But the very DUTY that SO clearly developed
upon you has been neglected; instead of
marrying a man of education and position
and establishing home she is so compe-
tent to adorn she is welded to the only
man she had ar opportunity to know, with
whom she begins life at the lower round of
the ladder with small probabilities of ever
enjoying greater freedom from the ordinary
hum-Grum of life.
No, do not urge objection to no 1est, IN
dustrious farm hands," but [ do insist
that such a daughter as yours is worth bet
ter prospects than the poverty and igno-
rance of the man she married. A farm
hand may be honest and industrious but
should also possess reasonable education by
which he may advance TO a position worthy
good wife.
Parental neglect in this matter is not con-
fined to farmers. The results crop out
among the rich-especially the newly rich
when the daughter nlarries the coachman,
to the great scandal ofthe family and neigh
borhood. Do you suppose the girl would
have married him if she bad known a more
eligible sutton? And whose fault is it that
she didn't? Largely that OF her father. and
the mother combined. He, too busy with
his commercial transaction. she too pre.oc-
cupied with social duties to consider the
daughters requirements.
Less business, less society" and more
deep, earnest sym pathy and loving counsel
for the daughter is the need Of this rushing
lions it fosters than the consideration of the
family of bright, thinking impulsive chill
dren, who need but the guidance of paren-
tai care to develop into manly ard womanly
citizens.
