Some notes on domestic science we're
given at the Current Events Class by Mrs.
Bush, who quoted several epigrams from
"a housekeeper who was 80 careful to have
everything in accord that her husband
said he always knew what sort Of soup
they we're going to have for dinner by the
color OF the gown in which his wife ap-
peared One Of her sayings was that
''no dinner is complete that does not
please the eye as well as the palate;"
that Soup is TO a dinner what the over
ture is to an opera" that "the making
of consomme is one of the important
things of life and should be taught in the
schools" No one knows fine flavor
OF which turkey is capable until he has
tasted one weighing about 80 pounds,
hroiled, baby turkey, but few people
would be willing to cut off the life Of this
fine fowl so early and thus end its greater
if not finer, future possibilities
