and a happy combination of simple and
rich fare. A most perfectly cooked and
carefully planned dinner is ruined by a
wrong combination of dishes, too many
sauces and rich food or too much heavy,
solid meat. Nowhere does the old
adage of "enough is as good as too much
apply so well as at a festal board, and
the people of America are rapidly COM
ing to see that a few courses perfectly
cooked and served are far preferable to
long, tiresome dinners made up of an
infinite number of heavy, rich dishes.
All housekeeping classes are managed
in Just the same way as the large college
courses. Each girl may not be able to
have her own stove and room corner for
her work, but every member is given one
definite dish or course to buy, prepare,
cook and serve. The class, organized gen
orally by band of girls who arrange to
give up regular afternoon or morning
each week to this purpose, is taught by
some trained and experienced housekeep-
er. One week, perhaps, will be given over
entirely to visit to the markets, the next
lesson to the making up of a good menu,
and so on. A class of this sort can be the
greatest fun imaginable, with wonderful
possibilities for jolly luncheons toward
the end of the course, when each cook has
become sufficiently expert to dare ask in
her friends to one of her own meals.
Select dinners, when boy friends can join
the party and remain to wash up the
dishes afterward, can be made delightful
affairs, for which invitations will soon be
eagerly sought. And what tactful means
of showing to the sceptical youth that
higher education includes instead Of pre-
GLIDING knowledge of home making!
Through these courses in domestic
science may come at length solving of
the servant problem. Once mistress
knows the work of the maid sufficiently
we'll to do it herself, then and then only
can she hope to teach each branch of the
art. When the mistress can really teach
then she can take into her house a quite
different order Of girl from the poorly
trained immigrant. One who knows abso-
lutely nothing, undesirable or otherwise,
can be taught everything satisfactorily
from the start, and in this way only can
thoroughly competent trained servant be
made, be she cook, laundress, char
maid, waitress parlormaid or lady's
maid. Only by this means can correct
footing of respect and devotion on the one
side, with kindness and consideration on
the other, be established.

COLLARS AND TIES.

M OST popular among the stiff collars
for girls are the turnovers of pique
embroidered in small and dainty
patterns. The pique is very fine and has
small lines. Sometimes the bars run
around the collar, and again when a
broader bar is used it is cut to run up
and down. Other tailored collars which
are fashionable are made of plain rather
fine linen, with tucks around the edge.
Stiff collars with turnovers of lace are
also worn. Then there are straight band
collars of Valenciennes insertion and fine
linen or batiste, with lingerie bows in
front Short jabots are also used but for
school girls the very long jabots now
worn by women and older girls are not
considered in the best style. They are a
great nuisance, for one thing, and would
get in the way of any active school girl
Long crocheted four-in-hands, which are
to be worn with stiff collars, are finished
with rather deep fringe at the ends. The
fringe exactly matches the tie and in
most instances is made by hand from the
same silk as the tie These four-in-hands
are very smart with flannel waists.

SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR y
THE SCHOOL GIRL Y

other How depressing, on the other hand,
is the girl who in order to give great
impression of her wisdom, her penetra-
ton, her deep knowledge, picks out each
small fault in the play or in the picture
being viewed and dilates upon that point
just long enough to make it quite over
shadow all the really excellent parts.
Just which is cause and which effect it is
hard to say, but it is a fact that the per-
sous who make point of always discern
ing the flaws soon can only see the weak
points, and hence find everything in life
unsatisfactory. On the other hand, the
girls who start out with and keep to a
determination TO notice only what is good
and pleasing in those about them find
that the attractive side quite obliterates
all the rest, and they are the girls who
have always a happy countenance, for
they live in the consciousness of how
much that is nice this world contains.

+ more girls, and older people, too, for
that matter, would let their minds dwell
for one moment on the deplorable con
ceit of constant criticising of their neigh
bors they would soon grow more guarded
in their unkind remarks and less quick to
make fun of the idiosyncrasies of those
about them.
A critic means literally one who is so
thoroughly versed in his subject, be it
music, literature, painting or the drama,
that he is appointed to pass judgment on
that work of art, from which CRITICISM"
others less learned may be able to obtain
ideas, and thus build up an opinion for
themselves He acknowledges himself to
know even more than the artist, and upon
what he says rests the fame or the failure
of the creator of the work of art. Does
not the girl therefore, who is always criti-

course, if it is sure to be true, If one is
really finer, cleverer, more sensible,
more attractive than any one else, then
perhaps the criticism may not be so out
of place, but how many OF us are per-

Judged is one of the truest maxims of
all time, and it is a known fact that
those rare beings who do not gossip and
seldom are critical or fault finding with
their neighbors will have little, if any,
criticism 1evelled against them as they go
their simple, direct way through life.
There is no habit so easy to acquire
nor one more difficult to absolutely check
than that of fault finding. On the other
hand. the conquering of this trait will
more than almost anything else make for

the week without any idea that the price
is any different at one time of year from
another.
In course of domestic science the pu-
pills go regularly with their instructor to
a large market to learn how to choose
the material to be cooked for the next
meal and to obtain an idea of the STAN
dard price of the different foods. They
are taught to watch the prices of, all ar
ticles, so that, as the cost ;fuctuates, they
can each day take as much advantage as
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-10

Nor is the making out of menus to be
disregarded in such a course. After
knowledge of the actual meats, Vegeta-
bles, fruits, &C., has been acquired and
the student has learned also how each
different cut of beef should be treated in
the oven or in how many different de-
lectable ways one vegetable can be dis
guised, then her wits are put to task in
the ordering of dainty luncheons, elab-
crate dinners, simple home suppers, &c.

In the Colleges.

In the women's colleges the domestic
science courses are worked out on a more
elaborate scale. In the cooking course, for
example, each student has her own stove,
cooking utensils and shelves for the food
stuffs, to be utilized in the days lesson
the meat, dry groceries, vegetables, &c.
OF this stove she has complete and abso-
lutte charge, for at the end of the term
she must understand not only all the de-
tails of actual cooking but just how to
manage her stove, rake it out, polish and
keep it in perfect order for daily use. She
is taught the preparation of all kinds of
food for cooking, and she is taught first all
the simple, homely recipes-bread making
and the proper cooking of meats-before
she is permitted to attempt any fancy
dishes or intricate jellies or pastries.

- HERE is a great reversion TAX
ing place to-day in the train
ing and education of girls and
young women. With all the
sciences and dead languages
that they are acquiring, there is
evident desire also to acquire real
grounding in the simpler things of life
in the clever managing of small incomes
and in all the details formerly summed
up under the term housekeeping" but
now, to better hit the spirit of the age,
dubbed domestic science"
In the modern colleges for women there
are to-day departments devoted exclu-
sively to each and every detail of house
hold art, from the actual cooking sweep
ing, busting and bedmaking to the care
fui manipulating of n small allowance,
in the knowing what to buy that little
may go n long way, rs well as how to
obtain best result from the expenditure
for a household that can afford to live
on n more or less elaborate scale.
Every girl is at heart home maker or
housekeeper, for Mt the root these terms
are synonymous. The average girl de-
riyes the keenest enjoyment in "fussing'
about the house, fixing up" her room
and feeling herself really necessary part
of the household. She is actually glad
to take upon herself the ordering of the
house, provided she be allowed perfect
freedom in this line and can bring her
parents to consent to putting up with her
natural mistakes at the comm encement
While she is still at school ii would of
course, be impossible for her to take full
charge of all the home details, but during
her vacations and if she attends a small
class rather than school with regular
sessions from nine o'clock until one or
three, as the case may he, every girl will
be found to be infinitely happier If she
can be made to feel certain amount of
responsibility of this sort. The prelimi-
nary training beneath her own roof and
under the kindly supervision and guild
ance of her mother will also fit her to be
better and a more tactful wife when
the time comes for her to manage her
own little home than if she starts in her
married life absolutely ignorant of the
most everyday household matters, and is
hence confused and bewildered at every
turn.

isult of inexperienced housekeeping, nor
the almost equally inevitable upheaval
among the servants, and because they re-
alize their ignorance so keenly the daugh-
tiers do not insist on trying to take the
burden of housekeeping from the mothers,
who are more tired than even they realize
| from so many years of thinking and plan
ming for others and who really are in need
of complete relaxation from this constant
care.
| 1t is because the daily life of the modern
girl is so filed with studies and amuse-
ment that there is no time for the simple
home training from which her mother and
grandmother benefited, with the result
that the most thoroughly educated girl
starts her married life but lily equipped
for managing small house that must be
run on an economical basis.
! With sufficient spending of money
almost any one can run n house. Good
servants and trained housekeeper can
always be bought, but fortunately there
are not many young couples so situated
that they can start off regardless of bank
account, nor is the girl who is not forced
| to work diligently to make her home
attractive at all to be envied.
1t is because the girl of to-day realizes
keenly her incompetency i'll every line
| of domestic knowledge that in the
colleges courses in home science are now
included in the regular curriculum. In
all the smaller cities and towns now also
classes are being formed in practical
housekeeping, and it is interesting to note
that these courses are widely popular
among girls of all ages, from the school
girls just commencing their teens to the
young married ones who have already
been put to the test and been found
sadly wanting in all knowledge of house
keeping
