WIMODAUGHSIS OPENED.
1t Will Continue Its Work Upon II
WelI-KuOwn Lines.

Wimodaughsis opened its season for 1898
and 1893 last evening in the parlors at 1425
New YORK avenue with rally. The rooms
have been newly decorated during the sum-
Her, and were very attractive. Refresh
ments were served, and cards and dancing

pupils greeted each other and new friends

SUCH that the advantages are within the
reach of ALL
special effort will be made this year
to develop along scholarly lines those sub
jects especially useful in the home. A
course of domestic science has been added
TO many OF our colleges and universities.
1t is not cooking school on a large scale
but broad, comprehensive course full of
hard work. Cooking to be intelligently
| mastered requires some knowledge of other
sciences, such as chemistry and physiology.
The health of the home depends upon many
things besides the food as heating and ven
tIation. The women of Wimodaughsis
earnestly desire TO popularize the work of
| colleges and help the home keeper to bet
ter methods by lectures from specialists or
| by class work. The lack of funds to estab-
lish the work without regard to the in
come 1t brings in is the most serious handi-
cap, but a work like this should receive
support and encouragement when it is
| known. The past eight years of successful
work by Wirnodaughsis is the best guar
antee of the sincerity of it's efforts.
The rooms are open daily except Sun
days, from 10 to 6, and strangers in the
| city and all interested in the work are cor
| daily welcomed. On Wednesday after
Moons from to ) the president has hours
| there.
An opportunity to join parties for con-
certs, lectures or the theater will be given
these who desire to attend, but do not wish
to go without chaperon. A party of ten
