efiiciency-the neediest scholar we can
find. Why should President Eliot be
taking the bread and butter out Of the

pray the rest of their lives, as some OF
them are piously doing now. OF our

Old Time Love Letters.
In an old book, dated 1920, there is,
says the Peoples Companion, the follow
ing curious love eplStle. 1t AFFORDS an
admirable play upon words:
.'Madame-Most worthy of admiration.

The following is the still more curious
answer:

The Kitchen,
"The Heart of the Home"


THE Heart of the Home"
In an address before the Chicago Wom-
ans club the other day, Mrs. Lynden
Evans declared that women will never be
the equal of men until they lift their pc
cuhar occupations to the height of intel
lectual development and moral power
which has won recognition in all the
other fields Of life The kitchen is the
heart Of the home,' said this woman.
and its industries, intelligently under
stood, are the most educational OF all pos
sble Influences"
Not everyone will accept this metaphor
about the kitchen being the ''heart of the
home, but all will agree that it is the
most important branch Of the household,
whether it is called the stomach Of the
hcme or the heart of the home. We have
contended all along that the average
kitchen is about a hundred years behind
the industrial procession. Everything else
has progressed Inventive genius and sci
ence have combined to make easier the
work III every other department Of human
enoeavor. and the product, therefore, is
more perfectly adapted to the purposes for
winch IT is intended. But the 'heart of
the home has been turned over largely to
ignorant foreigners who have to have
SEINE pace 10 stay while they are learning
the English language. AZ soon as they
are able to make themselves understood
tney seek employment in factories, offices,
stores and laundries. In the meantime
they have ruined the stomachs of several
! families
The kitchen is really the only part of
household management requiring a scien-
uhc knowiedge. 1t is the chemical lab
oratory of the domestic establishments
II sustalns vital relation to the fam
lily. And yet the average housewife ap-
+, pears perfectly willing to turn it over to
the raw and untutored material that
comes across the water in the steerage.
She regards the kitchen as the dincy
abode of black pots and kettles, and she
sees nothing in its management but dish
washing and drudgery
If there is nothing in the average
! kitchen but drudgery and dishwashing
it is the fault of the American house
wife. As a matter of fact. the dish
washing and many other things now
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1904-01-20

done with the hands, should be done by
machinery, leaving the housewife free
to devote her energy and thought to the
chemistry of the kitchen. 1T should be
as attractive and interesting to the
young people Of the household as is the
laboratory in university to the stu
dents. But it must be relieved of its
drudgery and it's foreign numbskulls
whose greasy and indigestible concoc-
tons drive men to drink. 1t must be
raised to the dignity of a scientific voca-
ton. 1t may be this will not come until
men take charge of the kitchens, which
they are bound to do in time if thu
present craze Of the American girl to
pound typewriter is not checked and if
the tendency of American women to ex-
pend thei- energies and intellects upon
Browning clubs and bridge whist is not
discouraged. OF course cookery in the
hotels. restaurants and cafes is already
in the hands of men, and if the Amer
lean woman finally deserts the kitchen
entirely there is but one recourse-the
whole cooking proposition must be
turned over to men, who must apply to
it the mechanical and scientific ideas
that have brought other industries to the
highest state of perfection.-What =.

The Man Who
Boasts of Love COncueSts,

Girls, [ wonder If any OF you NUN Der
among your men friends one who boasts
of his conquests among women and dis
plays love letters which he has received
from different girls.
If you do know such man, my advice
to you is to drop him. He is not to be
trusted, and he will treat you in the
same way he has treated others.
The man who reads a Womun's letter
to another woman OF to his men friends
is beneath contempt. He is a misera BILE
wretch, who goes about the world max
ing love to girls, and after ne mas won
their love, and the poor, little things have
committed their sentiments to paper,
he makes a jest and a boast Of the pa
thetic little effusions to all who will
listen
Girls. your own womanly intuition
ought to warn YOU against such men
but as long as men and maids and love
shall last there will be decniving on the
one hand, gulleIess trust on the other
and much heartache all around.
However. even if you cannot detect
the unWOrthineSS of such q man at sight,
when you once realize his perfidy you
owe it to womanhood in general to unyeil
his character. And last. but not by any
means least, you are quite as much to
blame as he if you listen when he offers
to read you another wCnan's letter.
Remember that he will read yours to
the next woman, and do your share
toward discouraging and putting down
his abominable conceit.- Spokesman Re
view.

Woman's Industry.


Productive industry is woman's nat
ural field of expression. She carried it
on at home first. while the world was
full of warfare, but now that man has
also become industrious she has as much
place in the world as he. Work is wom-
ans own distinctive province but the
habit Of doing 1T at home alone is merely
a leftover from those old times when
the home was the only safe place. Now
we have a peaceful, orderly. industrial
community, with scientific discoveries
and mechanical inventions which give
freedom and power to women as we'll as
men. The education of boys and girls
is sufficiently equal to allow the develop
ment of human faculties in women. and
each step of increased opportunity they
have followed with increased ability.
Zach year sees a larger number of girls
who are no more willing to stay at home
and do nothing, OF TO stay at home and
do housewoTk, than their brothers are.
Why should they be? Why should an
intelligent. able-bOdied young woman be
content not TO take part in the great
vital processes Of society-ln the world S
work? The opposition to her so doing
has several grounds, and as many faces.
One is this proposition that she should
leave the work-that is, the wages-that
strictly limited crop of benefts-to those
who need it most. Let us take good
grip on this thing, hold it tightly, and
apply it literally to the general field
of human laaor, to see Il it applies fair
" and reasonably. AS a principle it
ueans this-that iapor-all our great in
dustriai processes, business, education.
law, art-everything we call work lis
in truth a sort of beneficiary device to
feed people. "We''-those who have that
unaccountable possession of the precious
work-crops-should give the work 20
those who need it-that is. to those who
need the pay for it. When we say
work" in this connection, we always
mean pay. We do not imagine that the
needy person wants the work, for exer-
else or for enjoyment-but that he wants
food and clothes, and must work to OBJ
tain them.
If this is SO we are singularly incon-
sistent in carrying out our idea. 1t

The Teacup Craze.

The Teacup Craze.
The teacup craze has much to COM
mend it, say the enthusiasts. Teacups
are easy to keep clean, and are not only
ornaments to the china closet and plate
rack, but are useful.
One woman who has Travelled around
the world has made it point to collect
one or two cups in each country. In Ha-
vail she purchased one of the "Kameha-
meha the First" poi cups made out of
of the handleless teacups of satsuma.
Corea, China, India, the Philippines,
Russia and the different European coun-
tries were all represented with a charac-
teristic cup.
Another woman globe trotter went
step further and collected one complete
tea set in each country, SO she has tea
pots as well as teacups, including the
Russian samovar. Each teacup is
marked with the name of the country
and the coat of arms or crest of the rul-
ing power. Sometimes their owner gives
delightful tea parties, transporting her
guests to China, Japan or Russia, as the
spirit moves her.
A young matron has among her we'd
ding gifts what she calls marriage
set" 1t consists of cup and saucers.
each one presented by a distant friend
who knew of her penchant for teacuDs.
Each cup is decorated with the floral
emblem of the state in which the donor
lives, and underneath is an appropriate
quotation.
Of course, the California teacup and
saucer are decorated with yellow
escholtzia, commonly called California
poppies. In gilt letters on the cup are
the words Love but only hers
An engaged girl is the proud possessor
OF an engagement SET" which shows
much originality. These teacups and sau-
GERS are also decorated with flowers and
the monogram Of the recipient On the
pansy cup is 'Pansies for thoughts"
The dainty forget-me-pot cup says, For
get me not" On the rose cup are the
words, my love is like red, red rose"
On the holly cup and saucer are number
less bells strung together with the red
berries. This cup appropriately reads,
All went merry as a marriage bell"
Other quotations which have been
transferred to the dainty china are: ITO
love her was a liberal educatlon:' Love
must needs be blind;' "None knew thee
but to love thee

iron reds and gold are all good colors
Other cups are shown with quotations.
These cups come in all sorts of odd shapes
and sizes. but the most popular are the
diamond and crescent shapes.
