be a part of the course of study again.
This summer she taught in the Blaine
vacation school and she had number
of private pupils.
Miss Grace Rollins is also a graduate of
the Boston cooking school. She is teach7
ing in the Sheridan school and her pupils
and their parents are equally enthusiastic
over the lessons. Miss Rollins was form
erly teacher in the Central high school
and she prepared herself especially for
public school work.
The cooking classes at the Monroe
school will be under the direction Of Miss
Jane Stringham, who is a graduate of
Drexel institute in Philadelphia. Her
home is in Sioux Falls and after she left
the Institute she taught for a year in
a girls industrial school in Wilmington,
Del.
Glasses are held morning and afternoon
on each school day and the girls from
the different buildings in the district as
semble in the cooking room. The study
is not compulsory but SO much interest
has been aroused and SO many of the
girls want to learn that the classes are
,overcrowded. The course includes lessons
in sweeping and busting, the care of the
kitchen and dining room and in fire-mak-
ing as we'll as in cooking and the COM
position of foods is dwelt on at length.
The great kitchen with it's tables and
gas stoves, the rosy-faced young cooks
in their white caps and aprons and the
ZEN thusiastic teacher, guiding and direct
ing them as they learn to broil and stew,
presents a most attractive picture which
visitors will find interesting for more rea-
sons than one.

tell the difference Then there is another
velvet dyed to look like chinchilla, and
the result Is marvellous. In fact, these
velvets, or pushes, or whatever they are,
give all the effect Of a rich fur at a frac-
ton of it's cost.
Another point which the smart girl will
appreciate and quickly make her own is
the facts that in the new garments the
length is never the same all around.
Either the back is longer than the front,
or the fronts are finished with deep
points and there. Is a gentle curve up

ponds upon the height and style Of the
wearer which of these two modes she shall

wrap, which points sharply in front, Civ

the girl who is over tall and, perhaps,
somewhat too slender. the long back with
the shorter fronts will be welcomed.
Caps and cape effects of course con-

of 8the cape line idea are seen daily. The

uses for cape effects, and more than one

phasized.

Paul, for several years, and last winter
had classes in diet cooking at number
of the hospitals. She is enthusiastic over
the needs and benefits Of her work and
looks on cooking In the public schools
as necessity, not fad.
$50 many of the girls are ignorant .
she said, they cannot even tell when
water is boiling. Their mothers are too
busy to instruct them, if they were quail
flied to do SO. We have arranged a prac-
teal course in which economy has been
carefully considered, and the girls are
taught how to serve palatable, nourishing
food at the lowest possible cost 1t is
necessary to eat to live and it is equally
necessary to know what to eat and how
to cook it,
Miss Nellie Richards, who has charge
of the classes that meet in the Blaine
school, taught the last year that cooking
courses were given in the public schools
before. She was graduated from Pratt

or women generally submit to it in any
such sense. They regard It simply as an
obsolete FORM, retained from it's his

they pledge themselves only in "a Pick
wickian sense. I felt. s oruffled that
when I met Rev. Mr. Montgomery the
same day 4 brought the matter up know
ing that the Methodist ritual followed
the Episcopal quite closely.
His reply was very positive; he said:

1T occurred to me that the reason 1
had felt SO sure that Episcopalss some
times omitted the promise was because
I SO often heard. their service read by
other ministers bound by no church au-
thority, who used the service from APP
probation Of its beauty. So, dropped
into DR.. Shutters study and propounded
my query. He said: Yes, generally :uses
the Episcopal service with some slight
variations, especially for a church wed
Ding, and always use much Of It's fine
old phraseology under any circumstance,
says. For that reason I do not use the
word obey, but make the vows assumed
by the man and the woman Identical, as I
believe that they should be and are
generally understood to be. The Uni
versalist church having no ritual has no
prescribed form, but the suggested one
follows the Episcopal and agrees with me
in omitting pledge Of obedience
- Are you often requested not, to use
the offending words?' asked.
Yes, it is often mentioned, altho more
brides than you would think seem to be
willing to leave all such details to the
ministers. Once in a while I find a
woman with a clinging to tradition who
does not want the change; she doesn't
come right out and say it, but requests
me to use the Episcopal service in it's
entir ETY. -
After that / wanted the views Of a
man who didn't pay any attention to the
Episcopal service, SO I propounded my
question to Rev. G.. L. Morrill,. He did
about what I expected fouted the whole
question as relic of medievalism and
said that neither the pledge of obedience
sidered for a minute. Another thing, he
said he had never been asked to use the
Episcopal service, and he hoped he
wouldn't be, for he would have to learn
it like an grafton, as he couldn't and
wouldn't read a marriage service out of
a book. The common request he got was
ito make 1t short, and he believes in
that for he thinks a long service too
much of an ordeal.

Did you see an item in the paper the
other day about a. girl to whom permits
sion was refused to be married in an
Episcopal church because she refused to
promise to obey the man she was go
ing to marry? Poor Nell Brown is in a
terrible state about. She is a good church
woman and was to have been married in
church and by her rector. She supposed
like the rest of the churches, hers had
quietly suppressed the word
''Well, what's the difference?" chlmed
in Helena; ''even if it's true-which I
don't believe-it doesn't mean anything;
it's mere form. She might just as we'll
say 1t and not make fuss. Besides, If
she did promise, 1t would do no harm,
for nobody could possibly think of Jack
Harris in the role of domestic tyrant.''
mo, Of course not, but that isn't the
point Nell is terribly conscientious and
wouldn't promise a thing she didn't mean
to do for anything. I really believe She d
give Jack up before she would promise
to obey him anybody else, altho prac.
tically she will fairly worry herself to
find out what Jack likes and wants her
to do. But she has had an impressive
lesson in despotism at home, and she is
firm in this matter. There will be one
less church wedding this fall
Jack is upset, too, because it distresses
Nell. and he says some rather cho1eltc
things about churches that cling to obso-
1ete customs and have people promise
things that really mean something else.
He doesn't care who marries them; a
Justice Of the peace would suit him. and
he'd promise to obey Nell In minute, and
