Courses Each girl may not be able to
have her own stove and room corner for
her work, but every member is given one

arc fashionable are made Of plain, rather

Stilf collars with turnovcrs of lace are
also worn. Then there arc straight band
collars OF VaIcnciennes insertion and finc
linen or batistc, with lingerie bows in
front. Short jabots arc also used, but for
school girls the very long jabots now
worn by women and older girls are not

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 dny's 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 1t in perfect order for daily use. She
il taught the preparation Of all kinds of
food for cooking. and she is taught first all
the simple, bomely recipcs-bread making
and the proper cooking of nruts-bofore
she is permitted to attempt any fancy
dishes or intricate jellies OF pastries

must be able to cook perfectly each article
undertaken before new recipe can be
started upon.

keeper to know than the actual cooking is
the ordering of the table, and yet how
