Domestic Science.

The question is often asked what is
Domestic Science?' The answer is
simplicity itself. 1t Is housekeeping in
the best ana easiest way.
Our grandmothers, who rcjoiced in

turned to practical account
Nor is domestic science confined, as
some people believe, to cooking alone.
Its field is too broad TO be bounded by
the stove and its precincts alone. While
the subject of dietetics. which relates
to food and feeding, is probably of the

family, there are also the question of
clothing. of home construction and
sanitation, the principles and methods
of housework, the draining and plumb.

The well-Dressed Woman.

These are few of the things that
the well dressed woman never does:
She never hangs her jacket by loop
at the back. If she has no coat hanger
she puts it away in the drawer.
She never puts waist away before
it is thoroughly aired.
She does not wear veil until it is
stringy, soft and filed with dust.
She does not put her gloves away
without blowing them into shape and
smoothing them.
She does not leave her hats uncov.
