WOMEN DEVOTED -
TO HOUSEHOLD SUBJECTS.

WOMEN DEVOTED
TO HOUSEHOLD SUBJECTS.
At the recent convention held in St.
Louis for the first time in the history
of the biennial meetings of the GEN
eral Federation of Women's Clubs,
household subjects were given place
on the program, and 1t is said that the
conservative women who are interest
ed In such subjects made the most OF
1t. At this meeting the domestic
science advocates had their innings
and by their enthusiasm showed that
some clubs are still devoted to the n
terest of the home above all else. as
should perhaps be the case.
One speaker, Mrs. Lineda Hull Lar
ned of New York, urged some atten-
ton to husbands, She was quoted as
saying:
'The husbands of the country give
the wives of the nation millions of dol
lars to spend each year. There Is no
womans work SO important as to learn
how to spend II to bring the greatest
amount of comfort to her husband and
children"
Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones of Michi
gan said in a speech:
THE men Of the land have proved
themselves to be ready to lay down
their lives on the battlefield in defense
of the home. II home means so much
to the husbands OF the country, the
wives must not desert the home Wo-
mans place Is In the home"
She Is also quoted; saying in her
speech on The School Should be an
Ally to the Home"
Nobody in the world has so much
need of education as the woman who
builds up the home and brings up the
children, OF all people the mother
must have the most help. to make this
nation grow. Whether a woman mar
ries or not she Is met sometimes by
the demand for homemaking, aRd all
this domestic science work is prepa-
ration for homemakipg, There are not
enough schools for teaching household
arts in the country. They should be es-
tablished everywhere, from primary
grades to the university, and girls
should be taught the science Of home
making.
THE thing to do is to give every girl
an allowance and let her learn for
herself the value of money that she
will know how to spend her husbands
money. Let girls learn everything
about home and they will take some
interest In homemaking. Teach your
girl the value of foods, so that she
may bring up a healthy family. Teach
your girls IneTe II uoththb so ihipVA
tant in schooling as the knowledge of
homemaking and homo sanitation. Let
the girl apply her physics to the ice
cream freezer and her chemistry to
cooking. II too long has been the
practice for a wife to give to hus-
band and children just enough food to
'hll up Teach her to give her family
the proper amount of foods according
to their values every day and the race
will be stronger. The hand that Yields
the cooking spoon rules the world
Some of the thoughts from Mrs
Jones' address as gathered by a re-
porter are:
Poor housekeeping and bad cooking
are at the bottom of most OF the DO
nestle troubles
Pies are an important part Of our
national life, Ours would not be an
American nation IL it were not for our
pies. Pie has been much abused. Good
pies will not hurt anyone.
Good cooking possesses same mag
net for the man in bis home ~ his

The Act.
The act securing to married women

affection for his wife and children.
Housekeeping is being raised to the
dignity of q profession. No girl need
be ashamed to say she can prepare a
meal or make her own clothes,
|. Fathers should feel equal response
bility in the home as the mothers.
One Of the reasons there are SO
many poor housekeepers among young
women to-day is because there is SO
much laxity and indifference on the
part of mothers in educating their
daughters for housework.
There are many kinds of mothers
the good, bad, and indifterent--but the
worst of these are the Indifferent ones,
Cooking reflects the morals Of the
nation.
1t is all tommyrot when husbands
say our grand mothers made better
housekeepeFs than we do. Men who
make these statements evidently have
nothing else in mind than their grand
mothers cookie jar. The modern
housewife Is far superior as q house
keeper to her grandmother.
A woman who keeps her house so
spotless and her blinds drawn so tight.
that her guests feel uneasy until they
leave 1t, Is Just as bad housekeeper
as the woman who neglects the dust
in the corners,
Unless the American people learn to
know more about feeding themselves
we are going to have more and more
nervous prostration.
Teach the women OF America domes-
tic economy, and We will have a race
of women which will keep the homes
in ease any comfort.
Another speaker. Mrs Adelaide
Hoodless of Canada, urge4 that wo-
men learn to manage their homes in a
business-like manner and she spoke
for the teaching of ethics in schools
She said;
Husbands will be grateful to Mrs.
Mary Human Abel of Maryland. who
urged that the household table be
preserved, that the husband would
rather eat poor meal at home than
good meal at a restaurant, but said
there VS. no excuse for serving q poor
meal at home.
Club women at this convention sure-
ly selected subjects to please men, and
as surely to please women who recog-
nize the importance Of the home.

characterized by exquisite finish and a

With further study great things may
safely be predicted for this gifted
young woman who gives promise of be-
coming a great artist.
Miss Wolf is truly an artist and is
recognized as such by the musical cir
Giles Of New York--ra fact of which
Mortgemerians have cause to be proud.
A prominent New York musician said
of her;
"I regard Miss woln as the best ma

Miss VOLTS heart enters into her
work and impresses itself on her hear
ers Her cantilena passages which
were warm, soulful and sonorous, sang
themselves from her heart into the
hearts Of her audience, and in many
instances the tone mist was gathered
into unshed tears that glistened in the
eyes about her. Her graceful bowling
was well controlled.
Miss Wolff's first number, Kol Nidrei
op. ~, by Max Brueh. was magnificent

nical and inteTpretative viewpoint. She

The past season has been quite an

who personally assumed the RESPONSE

It was a pleasure to meet these great
men socially as well as to hear the
artists. 1t is always an interesting
experience to, as 1t were, Investigate

MISS CROMwELLs
PIANO RECITAL.

The piano recital given on Friday
evening by Miss Lou Ella Cromwell,
pupil of Mr.. Robert Braun Eilenberg,
assisted by Miss Nellie wolH. who has
been student of the violin for the
past four years in New York, was per-
haps the best one ever given in Mont
gomery by an amateur
The interest in and study Of music
has been undergoing a steady growth
for the past ten years in MONTGOMERY
and these two young women are the
production of the wholesome wave of
effort in that line. As every block of
marble contains the statue which the
sculptors' ehisel discloses, so every
community holds it's embryo artists
which effort may develop and such a
result as the recital by these two
young ladies is we'll worth a whole
oity's effort. 1t Is surely as justiaabie
matter of pride to claim them as Ia
point to our new buildings and other
more material evidences OF growth.
Miss Cromwell rendered her num-
bers with decided artistic finish.
Technically she is thoroughly eouip.
ped and throughout the program she
displayed an appreciative understand
ing of the various compositions III
her rendition of the Chopin zroun
there was displayed charming daint-
mess and iightness as we'll as a beau
tiful tone.
The LisEt Hungarian Rhapsody and
Mendelssohn's concerto in q minor
were given with a breadth of feelina
and a selntillating brillisnoy quite re-
Barkable In so young a musician. while
the Eilenberg minuet was delivered
with a daintiness and grace that must
have been very gratifying to the com.
