COOKING CLASSES FOR MEN.
missionary Work in BehaIf of Crea.
TONS Lords.

New York, March n.-Men at last are to
have an opportunity of demonstrating TO
their wives the art OF making mothers
pies
The proposal of the New York Household
Economic Association TO start cooking
classes for men has met with the warmest
welcome. Mothers approve of 1t for their
sons. wives for their husbands, maidens
for their sweethearts, while the men them
selves are showing their appreciation by
paying the fees.
The first class is to be limited to twelve
1t is to be regular cooking class and the
food prepared and cooked by men, under
the instruction Of domestic science
teacher. The scheme may sound comical on
first hearing, and perhaps a totally unnec-
essary institution. For the average man
1t is. and should remain so. But il also
has its serious and practical side. Few
people know how many men are compelled
TO rely on their own efforts in preparing
their meals, and perhaps fewer know how
pathetically helpless they are for lack OF
any knowledge of the simplest principles
OF cooking. The class of men compelled
to do their own cooking are usually stu
dents with very limited incomes, men
whose wives are i'll, foreigners unaccus-
toned to the culinary ways of other coun-
tries than their own, and few cranks.
The first of these. the students, are in
the majority. In large cities and college
towns there are always many men with in
comes so slender that existence is barely
eked out by turning the sharpest sorts of
corners. Men are obliged to earn a liy-
ing while taking a college course, and
stand in pressing need Of three square
meals per day. Usually the student is ig-
norant of how 10 market. and very rarely
knows anything about preparing what he
buys Such knowledge would be of inesti-
mable value. for instance, how TO prepare
four or six substantial dinners at very
low cost. He might save time, money, and
in many cases his health. Undoubtedly
such men will advocate the cooking classes,
and should they spread, attend them.
| 1t is safe to say that one third of the
| studios in New York are rented 10 men
who do more or less of their own house
keeping. Many have little corners fitted
up expressly for cooking. and these same
little corners usually look as though the
chef needs a course in dishwashing and
| general scientific securing.
| Countless men attempt breakfast making

ture heaters they adjust on the only gas

SOCIETY AND THE SLUMs.
Fashionable Philanthropy Is New
York,s Lentcn End.

The cause of the poor has become
tremendous interest to the most dandiheo
American lordllng. If you doubt TINS,
just lead the conversation around 10
philanthropic work and discover that
your delicately perfumed, London clothed
companion at a dinner party has got what
he calls his stake in the New York slums.
The pleasantest phase OF this philan-
thropic craze, now at its height in Lent,
is that most of the smart young men are
genuinely earnest in their work.
The mirror of fashion and mold Of form
in the young dancing set is Alexander
Hadden, who comes of the very most aris-
tocratic family in New York, and who
devotes his spare time to working among
the boys in the reformatory on Randall S
Island. Once a week it is his Lenten habit
to toll over to the dreary building on the
East River Island and have dinner with
the boys. One of his finest accomplish
ments is carving. and he delights the IN
mates by standing at the head of long
table and juggling the last shreds of
fowls, doing artistic feats with joints and
gossiping along, in cheerful, elevatlng
talk, with his proteges as he portions out
their meat. Once year he Is most AT

TRIAL BY TONGUE.
Its shape and size Indicate Chnrnc-
teristics.

GlOssomancie is a new science" intro
duced by a Miss Erbere No of Paris, con-
sisting of reading the character by the
form and size of the tongue. The guiding
principles are as follows: If the tongue
is long it is an indication of frankness if
it is short of dissimulation; if it is broad
of eXpansivcness; If narrow OF concentra-
tion. When The tongue is both long and
large it implies that the pOssessor is a
great gossip and thoughtless. If the tongue
be long and narrow its owner is only half
frank thinking as much as is uttered, but
not always uttering all that is thought. If
the tongue be short and broad, there is
promise of plenty of gossip, and falsehoOds {;
ii talks great deal, but says little of what
is really thought. If short and narrow it
indicates deep cunning and lying; impene-
trability and great prudence. This tongue
belongs to those persons always ready to
make mistakes, but eager to inspire conf
dence.
So, then, not the physician alone is to
be guided by the tongue, but before you
become intimate with anyone, ask him or
her to put out his or her tongue, that you
may be certain whether they are TO be
trusted or not.

and was engaged to three different men
while she was between twenty and thirty.
Two of them had national regulations,
but what's the use of telling their names
and stirring up their descendants? They

temper that any woman ever had, and
she showed off her incompatibility so
plainly before marriage that there wasn't
any marriage, as far as she was concerned.
But she never acknowledged that her en-
gagement to the third and last one was
broken off, and she didn't until the day
she died. He lived a bachelor for thirty

And my aunt got her trousseau ready. too,

married. Everything that my mother had.
she insisted upon having, too. She had
white satin dress made with long train,
and she made my grandmother give her
the lace that ought to have been on my
mothers wedding gown.
They sent to Paris a rare thing in those
days, for lot of the finery for both girls,
and my aunt, my dear unmarried aunt, had
to have just as many pairs OF silk stock
iDgs and everything else as my mother had.
There was no helping it. She was set in
her way, as they say among the Hosea
