"The girl who reaches the age of 25 and can't cook cake or pie, or can't make shirt waist or trim a hat is not a true woman. She is sham and her parents are responsible and ought to be punishable for misdemeanor." Rev Jenkin Lloyd Jones had this and more to say at meeting of the National Housewives Association recently. He said: "Three hundred and fifty women listened to talk made on Browning at an EvanStOne WOman'S club yeSter- day and there are only 30 to listen to me talk on housewives. This attend ance shows the trend of the thoughts of to-day. Women are nowadays Oc- cupied with discussions of Browning when they ought to be teaching their daughters low to bake bread. When 1 talk on subject like this l shut my eyes for fear may see housewife in the audience. The modern girls spend hours at their pianos and easels, but they are ashamed to be seen presiding over a kitchen range. Girls who go to
 VaSsar and Smith and other colleges think it's good joke if cake ''falls" after they have wasted hours of labor on it. But l tell you it's no joke at all, it's an everlasting disgrace. This servant girl question is becoming more vital than trusts, tariff or anything else in the nations category of unset tied things. It affects the home and family, the most sacred institutions in the land, and has much to do with the unhappiness of the nation. World.
