4 NEGLECTED ART BY MlIDfNS
Tina: Should BE Thoroughly Learned by
Them II They Long to Be-
come Happy Housewives.

I'VE will probably never have enough
money 10 enable us to set aside a
hero fund, and even if we do have
enough We wouldn't do it. He pro-
poses that we set aside a fund to
reward the girls who can bake bet
ter bread than their mothers" with
which proposition the Gazette News
most heartily approves.
In response to a matrimonial ad-
vertsement, and as a result Of sub
sequent correspondence, the dis
patches tell us, Mrs. Flora Ellis. a
handsome widow of forty years, with
her little son. Journeyed from Tourn-
ley, Ala, TO Everett, Pa, TO become
the wife of Simon WEIGHT. Mr..
WEIGHT and Mrs. Ellis had an inter
view, and they seemed to be pleased
with each other. Finally trouble
arose over Mrs. Ellis bread-baking
qualifications. She admitted that
she was not frst-class baker, and
on this admission by the lady
WEIGHT, who is well-to-do, is alleged
to have declared negotiations of.
Mrs Ellis has retained an attorney
to bring suit for breach Of promise.
The Gazette News is of the de-
-clded opinion that when a woman
has attained the period of being fair,
fat and forty and is not proficient
enough IN the art Of cooking to
be able TO prepare a tempting mOrsei
of the staff of life, she certainly de-
serves the Reputation she receives
at the hands Of her sutton, and Mr..
We:cht was perfectly justifable in
renouncing any former pleadings
or proposals for her heart and hand.
Too much attention cannot be given
to cooking by either maid or matron
If she desires to make her future
life partner happy, and she will be
spared many heartaches caused by
the shafts of irony uttered as often
seriously as they are humorously by
the unfortunate husband about the
miserable cooking placed before
HIM.
Girls, don't take any stock IN the
assertion of Mrs. Lawrence IIodg-
kinson, Of the Chicago Progressive
Health Club, that "A husband Will
eat anything his wife wants HIM to
if he loves her She announced~it
to an admiring audience Of women.
Maybe Mr Lawrence Hodgkinson is
that kind of man. 1t is possible
that he can consume burned biscuits
and tough beefsteak and murmur
sweetheart and "ducky' the while
If so, he deserves it, asserts the St.
Paul News
Man is q creature of good resolu-
tons. He breaks them because he
is a man. He marries because he
loves, and, being in love, he views
the girl through rose-colored glasses.
He knows he has faults and he I'M
agnes that he has married an angel.
The first few months of married life
love covers a multitude of sins, both
of omission and commission. 1t is
right that 1t should. But there
comes a day of reckoning for the
girl who never learned anything
about homework and whose mother
always did the dishes and the cook
ing Ethelbert suddenly discovers
that there is something lacking.
Home doesn't seem like the home he !
has been used to- HIS digestion
bothers HIM, and he likes to sneak |
over to mothers just 10 get a bite
10 eat. If he is unwlse, he makes /
cutting remarks and woman cries.
If he has sense, and Helen is blessed |
with a generous share Of brains. |
both viii discover that romance can
never take the place of solid !
food, and on the Journey of married
life there must be a fair amount Of
or else shipwreck Will
follow So she learns to cook as
