The women's colleges and universities
which are beginning to recognize the
value of practical things in the educa-
ton OF women should not overlook, while
they are adding household economy, do
nestle chemistry and child study to the
curriculum, the supreme advantage or
thorough training in the theory and
practice Of the Art of Doing Without
This detail has been sadly neglected, al
though it is second in Importance to
no branch of woman'S education, not
even the ability to broil steak or make
actual coffee. Almost every woman has
need of it at some time or other dur
ing her life. and preparation for the
emergency will add to her general Gull
ture even in case she should never have
practical use for it.
OF course most of us do without from
necessity, but that is no argument why
we should not be the better for a little
education along that line. The inevi-
table is, above all, what we should be
prepared for. Women also cook and
sew from necessity, and there are, to be
sure. mothers who give as an excuse
for not teaching their daughters these
things that they will have to do 1T
soon enough anyway, and when they
have to they'll manage somehow But
this haphaZard method of permitting a
young matron to learn housekeeping by
experience and practice cooking on her
husband is no longer considered safe
one And so, although a girl will do
without money more or less ungracf-
ously because she. must, would it not
add to her happiness and the happiness
of her little world if she knew how to do
without gracefully and made a virtue of
this stern necessity?
Many an otherwise agreeable and low
able woman is spoiled by the lack of
this valuable accomplishment. We have
all known women who made their entire
families miserable on account of the
things they couldn't have.

her in the private opinion that papa can't

poor. When his wife and daughters

and new furniture which their wealthy
friends have been purchasing and for
their plans for summer trip he feels
