COOKING SCHOOLS FOR MEN.

The cause of all this agitation lies in an
r1ouncements made ALMOST simultaneously in
Chicago and Dubuque OF the establishment OF
cooking schools for men, particularly husbands
In far as can be ascertained there was no pre-
arranged plan by which it is proposed to depose
the queen of the kitchen and crown king in
her place
on the contrary il appears that the women Of
both cities just happened 10 reach The same
conclusion about the same tinlei namely. that
a revolution in the kitchen was the need OF
the hour. What the domestic conditions
that made necessary the drawing Of such a
conclusion is not revealed
In The absence of a feminine explanation the
men are inclined TO assert that there Svere no
conditions justifying the deduction that cook
ing schools for husbands were a necessity. at
least none outside the mind of woman herself.
They are ungallanJ enough, therefore. to in
sist that the cooking school idea is merely one
more step in the evolution of the woman,
q step designed to give her, greater freedom to
extend her invasion into the realm of man.
n-is barely. possible that there is a molecule
of truth in this assertion. for il is a fact that
the cooking school enterprise was originated by
the new woman. in one instance by the athletic
girl and in the other by the club woman.
Chicago's cooking school for men was founded
by the South End won1an's Club. Dubuque s
school is a departure Of the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association. II is reported that
several husbands have enrolled themselves there
and are taking the full course learning every
thing that appertains housekeeping. from
Juggling a waffle iron and Tipping grddle cakes
10 making up bed on the mitre angle In Chi
cago the promoters of the school declare the
men a bit bashful rather than obstinate.
and that within a year large number OF them
will be jumping the chance to conquer

HE NEVER sHIRKS HOUSEWORK

"An this fuss bores me inexpressibly SAID
Mr. Hill, when Informed that the Cook County
Woman's Christian Temperance Union had de-
nominated him the model husband Il wish
to say however, that it is true that am proud
of my wife and of my home. and that never
slirk any work around the Kitchen.
DO you wash the dishes we'll as cook the
dinner asked,
If we must have dishes to eat from, he an
swered, why should man not help clean
them up?"
Apparently he is not a representative Chicago
husband in far the womens domestic SCI
ence schools for men concerned. The men
express their best wishes toward the enterprises,
but when the women attempt TO induce them 20
take up classroom work" they put off the fate
ful day.
They merely postpone the inevitable" say
the women. for husbands ought TO know how
to cook and if they won't learn willingly they
must be compelled by argument or cajoery 10
take lessons. Then if We are delayed until late
at club meetings they cook their own din
and not half starve while waiting for
to get home"
New-York tribune., 1908-01-26
SOME WIVES WANT
MEN TO COOK.
SCHOOLS ARE ST4RTED IO
TEACH HUSBANDS HOW.
But the PUPILS Stay Array, Fearing
to EnsLaUe Themselves
Further.

IL Charles Dickens were living in this year or
the twentieth century he might discover new
setting for a Tale of Two Cities His story
would be destitute OF carnage and there would
be no clinl1ing OF pitchforks and rapiers- Never
rheless il might thrill with spirit of rebellion
and with emotions as intense as any that
marked the French Revolution.
Instead of London and Paris his scenes might
be laid in Chicago and Dubuque. Iowa Instead
of a mob cIamoring for a kings head and
throne, woman would be the chief actor in the
story She would be portrayed not as the au-
thor of a deep laid conspiracy to found a repub-
lie on the ruin of a monarchy. but rather as the
head of a movement to transform husbands into
cocks and housekeepers.
Such movement has been instituted. The
effect If il succeeds promises 10 be as mo-
rnentous as any event of history
Why woman should wish to hang plaid aprons
on the necks of husbands and compel them to
manipulate the rolling pin is a mystery over
which the men are expending q large amount OF
cerebral energy. She declares that her object Is
merely to benefit the men. to broaden their
sphere of usefulness and to make them more
self-reliant. But the men are wary. They fear
her motive is deeper; that there is some cunning
plot behind the outward seeming
who knows say the husbands. but that
the women have discovered a new way TO seize
the ballot? The next thing We know they may
be trying TO exchange. their gowns for our
trousers
In answer TO this woman says: Now just look
at Mr. Hill He is a model husband. He not
only cooks the dinner. but washes the dishes so
that Mrs Hill can devote more OF her time to
tennerance work If other husbands were like
him civilization would be elevated to a
higher ulane"

WHAT THE WOMEN ARE DOING.

The South End Womans Club membership is
composed of fashionable women who want it
known that they not butterflies but think
ers. The South Shore Country Clubs grounds
only stones throw from their clubhouse.
but they waste time the golf links OF
yachting on Lake Michigan. Their work is more
serious.
While their sisters of the Country Club were
participating in automobile parties or similar
am1sements the members of the South End
Woman's Club were discussing How Can We
Accomplish the Regeneration of South Chicago.
This district is the steel mill and great manu-
featuring section Of Chicago and has popula
tion Of 100000. The members. of the South End
Woman's Club reside in Windsor Park. Bryn
Mawr and Cheltenham, arstocratic settlements
lying south Of Jackson Park, the site of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition of 1893. Ad
1acent 10 Bryn Mawr is South Chicago, but until
the cooking school was esta blished there had
been no INSTRUMENTATION between the two
regions.
Just think" said Miss Grace Darling, who is
at the head Of the school. In all these years
not one thing has ever been done to uplft the
people Of South Chicago. There is club
social Settlement in the whole place
So the South End <Club women, with their
president, Mrs. z. E. Kendall at their head, ap
pealed to the presidents and superintendents of
the big factories to help them wipe out the dis
tinction between Bryn Mawr and its next door
neighbor.
The women OF South Chicago are overworked
and have pleasures at ALL said Mrs. Ken
dan in placing her proposition before William A.
Field, superintendent of the Illinois Steel Com
pany, a constituent of the United States Steel
Corporation. THE men work eight hours in the
steel mills other factories and have plenty Of
spare time, but the women mere drudges"
Yes" urged q member of the committee.
''and how nice il would be il the men could only
be taught to get their own breakfasts and put

It's grand conception" said Mr.. Field

A MODEL HUSBAND.

The discovery made at a meeting Of the
Cook County branch. The delegates as
sembled and waiting to hear an address by their
president Mrs. Emily NJ. HILL but she was late.
Miss Mary H. Kennedy, the vice-president took
telephoned she would reach the hall in a few
minutes.
while we are waiting continued Miss Ken
nedy, II might tell you secret about pres
ident's husband. I used to wonder how it was
that she could do much work for temperance
but IL has all been made clear.
1T is largely to the credit of Mr. Hill that
great work Until 1 went out to her house
didn't understand how she could find time to do
so much and yet have time for hoCsework. 1t
developed that it through Mr. Hilrs ability
to cook and his Willingness TO help out.
u have often been engaged in afternoons
temperance work with Mrs. Hill when were
out late and dinner time not far away. Some
times II was SO late that it impossible for
me to go home at night, and then l have gone
to her home There we have found Mr.. Hill in
the kitchen with the dinner in preparation The
potatoes were boiling on the stove, the tomatoes
nicely peeled and sliced and everything else in
appetizing shape. The dinner was soon in readi-
ness, and IL was good one too.
so you see ladies' Mr.. Hill is a model hus-
band. and we must give him of the credit
for the great work Mrs. Hill has been able to
do and is doing in the of temperance"

a mill foreman, who had been asked to recon-
mend the cooking school to his employees.
But you wouldn't call Sergeant Regan mol

sistant residents, who overheard the remark

Yes" went on the woman. and they call him

few days before that conversation took place
the sergeant in question noticed a small child
crying in the street. Asking the Of the
tears the officer learned the mite of a boy was
hungry. In response TO further questions the
child pointed to a ramshack exile cottage, and the
sergeant took him by the hand and ed him into
it. Inside Sergeant Regan found the chlld's
father i'll with consumption and helpless on
cot The mother also i'll in bed, holding
baby in her arms. on pile Of mating in
corner lay a boy of ten. asleep. There was
nothing in the house to eat.
Wait a few minutes" said the sergeant.
Then he hurried away to the station house and
took Up collection among his comrades, raising

the grocer's and then TO the house of poverty.
There he broied beefsteak, fried potatoes and
made coffee and toast for the half famished
family stripping off his uniform and sweltering
the fire.

mother Mrs. Marie JazaWatski, Of No. IS Nc

hours later the aid society took up the work of
relief where Sergeant Regan left it.
Although the mems cooking courses offered
by the South End Womans Club in its model
home and by the Young Womens Christian
Association of Dubuque originated apparently
in these organizations themselves the real credit
for the idea is traced TO the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. This worldwide organiza-
