loaves can have place in theLexhibit that
Mr. Painter will have.
Of course, it is impossible to give much
idea of the chemistry of foods and yet
Miss Richards does give them enough to
impress the reasons for certain processes
on their minds. For instance, when boil
ing potatoes she explained the effect of
boiling water on starch and then per-
formed the familiar iodine test for starch
on a piece of potato. Speaking OF the
results of acids on tin when putting up
fruit, she took lemon, and demonstrated
| the point in a way they will not soon for
get. Miss Richards also explained the &C
ton of baking powder in cakes. To show
them why they must mix all the dry
ingredients first, Miss Richards poured
some water on soda. The girls watched
the effervescence and, when they saw
the lifeless liquid after the action, know
ing the composition Of the powder, they
understood why the powder must go in
last. Their cakes went into the oven in
g. hurry before the soda had ceased its
chemical action.
Msis Richards is not one who has had
a lifelong love for housekeeping and the
| culinary art. She. had never developed
| the taste until one summer, after she had
| completed the normal course, she de-
| cided to go to the summer school and
| finally chose the cooking course. Mrs.
Mary B. James, who taught in the Blaine,
| was teaching the university cooking
| classes. Miss Richards became interested.
It was a new field and Mrs. James, who
| was plea sed with her enthusiasm, sug-
| gested that she make it a study and pre-
pare to teach it. AS she thought of it and
worked more In it she decided to do So
| She visited Mrs. James several times in
the kitchen at the Blaine and in the fall
| left for the Pratt Institute. Her interest
! there was unbounded and she gladly took
all courses open to her. Miss Richards
completed the two years course in one
/ year, taught in the mission school, and
returned to Minneapolis hoping to get a
situation here. She taught cooking in the
old Winthrop building the last year it was
in the curriculum Of the schools and
since then has been employed as regular
primary teacher.
II But her enthusiasm has not waned,
and in the interim she has read and in
her own home gained much practical ex-
perience which has fitted her still better
for her work. Then, too, she has been in
constant communication with the insti-

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, July IS, 1903
To see life at its fullest, to see fair
women at their prettiest and wittiest,
look in at Saratoga these midsummer
days. The season is just opening here,
which IS just another way of saying that
the races are beginning.
The Saratoga girl-ah, she almost de-
fies description-she never looks alike
twice in the same day and her moods
are as varied as her gowns.
At the races she is the smart woman
Of the day, perhaps just bit sporty In
costume and manner, but jolly to talk
to and fascinating to behold, and pretty
much of a philosopher when "it's all going
out and nothing coming in,'' as far as
bets are concerned.
You see her some moonlight night out
at Moons" dining with the man that at
least for that evening she likes best,
and you will never recognize her as the
same young woman you had seen at the
races. She is a picturesque young per-
son. She wears a soft and fluffy gown
with much lace and chiffon She CO.
quotes bit and is charmingly feminine
and appealingly dependent.
At the hotel garden parties, at the
different springs and at dinner, you see
her as the typical society girl-invariably
tall and stately, and always faultlessly
