MRS. ARMSTRONG TALKS
OF DOMESTIC SUCCESS

There were a hundred women or more
to hear Mrs. Helen Armstrong; first
lecture on cooking yesterday at Cable
hall. in spite of the fact that Monday
with many women is day of extra
household duties and of little leisure.
In the interest and instruction Mrs.
Armstrong gave them, however, they
were empty compensated for the possI-
BILE effort their attendance had mean.
She knows her subject twell, both from
the practical and the scientific stand
point, and the dishes she treats of are
both the substantial and the frivolous
Her talks are frightened, too, by the
charm of an attractive personality, and
| Cable hall during her presiding there
every afternoon this week viii doubt

| Mrs. Armstrong; lectures are given
under the auspices of the \. X. Fair
/ bank company, especially to exploit cot
tolene, but her programs are by no
means confined to dishes that utilize
this product,
IS you will see by my programs for
| the week. Al shall demonstrate a num-
/ Der of salads, desserts, dressings, etc..
which do not call for cottolene. My
subject for tomorrow (Tuesday), for in
/ stance, is broiling. | am delighted,
] though, with the interest women ali
over the country are showing in the
! Ia;
that pertains to foods in their relation
to health. / have lectured TO many
kinds of gatherings-to women II
clubs, IN schools and colleges, and TO
and everywhere they seem awake to the
necessity for the study Of diets ana
| of cooking.
sit is only recently that men have
| taken up the scientific study of foods.
The problem of the best diet for horses
and hogs they have always deemed inn
| portant because they could see in its
solution direct profit, but they were a
little slow in the study Of men S foods,
and so ] think it much 10 the credit
of women that they have not been slow
in taking advantage of what the scion
lists have been d long time in finding
out
"Women in increasing numbers, too
are finding congenial well as com
pensating occupation in my profession
Domestic science has indeed come into
its own and graduates of that depart
ment at the University of Chicago. foI
instance, where 1 was educated are in
demand all over the country-not only
as lecturers and the like, but all insii
tutions like boarding schools, whether
they teach dietetics or not, apprecate
now the necessity for having a VIC .
versed in food values direct that I'M
portant element of the health of the in
stitution.
'Since cottolene has been perfected
il mas not been difficult to persuade
women of its superior virtues, because
the motto with progressive women ii
their homes is, of course. healch and
cleanliness, and | find that women in
the South, Wherever go, are as up
to-date along such lines as they ar,
anywhere.
sit has been suggested to me since
my arrival here that, because the South
is the home of the wonderful produc
from which cottolene is made. the Souti
would be the logical location for the
next big factory a growing business II
it must sooner or later necessitate ans
the suggestion seems most feasible. The
business is large in this section and :
