to this in the minds of the judges,
they Will call upon the contestants to
demonstrate their ability to DO the
work in question.
The girls Of ~BrOokfngs county are
peculiarly fortunate in having the
Agricultural college at their doors,
where all the varieties Of work in this
contest are Taught and where she can
easily acquire proficiency in any Of
the lines of work prescribed, long be
fore the contest comes eff.
The work prescribed is of the most
practical kind and every article des-
cribed is a household necessity in
every family. ANY work calling for
any unusual or unnecessary eXpendi-
ture Of time and money has been eX
cluded from this list. There is not
one thing incorporated in the entire
list but that every girl should be able
to do readily and well before she is
fit or has the right to become the head
of a house.
Music, painting and other decorative
work are beautiful and e%nnoblihg, but
the first and greatest art to be ac-
CURED by the American girl is homo
making. If we have money, we can
buy the. music, painting, etc; but the
man never lived who had money
enough to buy a home.

of her conduct. ANY of you can afford
to be defeated in this contest, If some
of the other exhibits score higher than
yours. but not one of you can afford to
win by deception or fraud. We do
not expect any attempt at anything Of
this kind, but should it be discovered
either during or after these contests
that any rule or regulation contained
