At the regular monthly business meet
ing of the Y. p. s. c. T.. of the First Pres
byterian church, corner Twentieth and
Figueroa streets, held on Tuesday even
ing, the new woman reigned supreme,
and the unlucky Cor lucky young men
present had, (after the business was all
disposed of many household cares
thrust upon them.
The patching of garments, writing of
recipes for biscuit making, chicken
salad eoncocting and coffee brewing
taxed their powers and imaginations
terribly, while the ordeal of cutting
sleeve patterns and sewing on buttons
nearly drove them distracted. Their re-
ward came, however. when the judges
gracefully pronounced upon their work
and prizes were given to the successful
ones by the chairman of the social COM
mittee, Miss Hasty. Everybody had a
splendid time, and the watermelons
served in the prettily decorated primary
room capped the climax and sent all
away fully reconciled to the rule and
sway Of the new woman" or at least
the types of her they had met with that
night
