COOKERY FASHIONABLE
Smart Young Women attend
Courses IN Domestic Science.

The modern woman is supposed not to be do
nestle and of all domestic things she is believed
to detest cooking most. but after talk with MISS
Bella Bruce of the Household Science School, at
the Wonan's Exchange, it is impossible to enter
tain this opinion. From the ballroom belle to the
alleged tyrant of the kitchen Miss Bruce has found
that all womenknd interested in pots and
pans. AS to the 'tyrant," Miss Bruce knows notn-

thing to do under the circumstances.

The girls who attend Miss Bruces classes are
mostly those who have finished their education
and taking up cookery as postgraduate
Some OF them go there just for fun and be-
serious their interest grows, ana others
attend with definite purpose.
You almost tell the engaged girls, says
Miss Bruce. There are ali sorts Of little signs.
And why do these wealthy young women want
to learn cook if they are engaged? Miss
Bruce makes 1t perfectly clear.
lone of two things is necessary TO a successful
menage," she says. EITHER you must have mis-
tress capable of directing the servants you
must have servants capable of working without
direction. Most American mstresses do not know
enough either to direct their servants to leave
them alone when they don't need direction. They
don't know when they well served. With
little bit of training this much be learned.
After a girl who never uncooked potato in
her life has washed and peeled and cooked
potato she has some idea of how long ii takes to
cook things: and after she has washed up her own
dishes she knows what is the matter with the
dishes when they not clean She becomes
much more reasonable person. All this has I'M

be said to be solution, for there other
factors

beyond the elementary stage that she is staying
in town this summer largely for the purpose of
preparing some advanced courses for them. One
these will be devoted to chatting dish cookery.
The chatting dish is becoming more and I'M
portant accessory of mcdern life says Miss
Bruce People take it automobile trips and
when travelling. and they get lot of fun and
comfort of it. Chafng dish suppers grow
ing in popularity, too. There is nothing more
graceful than pretty woman the chafng dish,
and husbands and sweethearts like it. But il has
be done well. You must prepare everything be
forehand and and fuss the table That
makes people feel that they don't want TO what
you cook But If you put the ma terials together
quickly and easily your guests Will feel that they
can scarcely wait until you finish The possibilities
of the chatting dish have greatly increased of late
years and you prepare wonderful range of
impossible a few years ago OF course, they haven't
peasantness and informslity and the serving things
piping from the dish in which they cooked
make up for that
Miss Bruce considers this interest in things do
mestic which is being manifested by young

Of the times.
Everything that induces women of this class

 One Of the most interesting Japanese temples in Kioto is Gion Chiosiu, for it was the temple assigned to the foreign envoys when they made their first visit to the Mikado in the year 1868. It Is q fine building. surrounded by splendidly kept grounds. upon which are many smaller temples and houses for the priests. It was here that the Dutch en- voys were kept when they were brought through the country 10 pay their annual tribute to the Mikado for Jne privilege of trading with Japan. They were literally kept as prisoners and suffered all sorts If iudignites. Before the MikadO and his court-the Empress and her ladies being sccreted behind great screens-tbese poor Dutchmen were forced to dance and sing and "cut up capers, 'so to speak, by way of entertainment.
 One rides through the narrow and pie turesque streets of K.oto in a jinrikishas drawn by feet-fo0tcd Japanese. These Wcll-buiit, athletic fellows can run 10 hours on the stretch. and at the termina- ton Of the journey feel quite as unfatigued as the occupant tbe he q foreigner) of the iinrikShls.
 The Japanese are not fond of rain, anI during shower the streets are deserted by all who may put off going out under cloudy skies Those who are obliged to wander forth in the rain go on high clogs, wear large paper hats and carry over them paper umbrellas.
 Kioto boasts of the finest jugglers and thcaters in the land. From here many of the greatest Japanese entertainers are procured for other Japanese cities, as wei as for European countries and America.
 The cooking at the hotels was found to be very well done and appetizing, and after one has become accustomed to the absence of highly seasoned and rich foods. such as one finds In England, France and America. the Japanese dinner Is quite q relishable thing and always nutritious one. MARY GRAHAM.

The line of descent came through his mothers family. And it was also whispered that hidden away in a vault in the palace were documentary proofs of BeppO's claim, and that it was this fact which had caused the lord rulers to treat so cruelty the lamplighters for so many generations.
 As the night fell Beppo and his parents crept to their window to see who would light the lamps. One by one the lights about the palace flashed out, but no hand was visible in the process. Then about the city flashed thousands of other lights not lamps, but torches. The lord ruler saw the strange proceeding from his pal ace window and fear made him tremble. He called to his guards to secure the gates, and to the jailor to carry his little prisoner to yet deeper and more secret dungeon cell. Upon the jailor's returning with the word that the prisoner had es-
