~ Dear Mrs. Moore:-I am very
v much interested in the var
Il II ious letters Of inquiry and ap-
peal for advice from the readers of
your page, and I wish to offer one sug-
sest1on to the woman who keeps house
ana who is also seeking a means of
/. earning little extra money within her
own home. E..
Inc plan is, however, only suitable to
the woman who has knack of teach
ing the things that she can do well her.

slsts IN organizing classes in housekeep-
Ing during the Summer vacation.
believe that any capable woman, who
announced her intention of establishing
classes of this kind would receive much
encouragement from many mothers of
young girls.
The idea came to me recently from
hearing my neighbors express desire
to have their daughters learn some
thing Of systematic housekeeping and
cooking during Summer vacation.
AS a matter Of fact, believe that
girls at from twelve to fifteen years Of
age are more interested in learning to
cook than at any other period. They
have then outgrown the make believe
cooking In playl1ouses, and are too
young to crave the excitement of society
and usually enter into the training with
an earnest spirit and good will.
They are at an age too, when they
are very impressionable and when they
should not only acquire some of the ac-
complishments Of the housewife and
take up the work with enthusiasm, but
they have reached a point where hand
and brain should be kept busily engaged
in an occupation calculated to prepar
them for life Of future usefulness.
While it is true that cooking and sew
ing are taught to some extent in the
public schools Of large cities, the lessonl
in all-round housekeeping are naturally
more limited in scope than they would
be in furnished house or model fiat
and a woman who would systematic
this knowledge would probably have the
/, field to herself. Va #. "
believe that by making thorough
canvass Of the upper grades Of the pub

should have large and Interested Glasses.
While the mothers ::of these young

girls who have sighed over chops and
steaks alleged to have been broiled, but
alas, only incinerated, would probably
rejoice to learn that for a period at
least, they need suffer the evils of bad
cooking no longer, if they will but let
these daughters train in the local cook
ing school.
A HOUSEKEEPER.
1t Is a source of great satisfaction
to me to receive letters that are both SO
timely and practical as the foregoing.
A source of satisfaction because of the
wholesome spirit of mutual helpful
ness permeating every line. While it
is true that an uplift movement along
lines Of better housekeeping has been
introduced recently in the larger cities
where model experimental flats are be-
ing furnished to look like real homes
there is very wide field that is yet
uncovered.

BY acquiring proficiency in housekeep-

brought to look upon wage earning az

average working girl now bestows or

livelihood. 49,. ~ =

. HE beginner in gardening is often
at loss what to plant when
planting time comes. She reads
catalogues until she is befuddled. and
every friend tells her something diff
ferent about the culture of the same
flower. Experience is often a painful
teacher. but it is, after ALL the only
one to be- relied upon. Make your own
decisions and if they prove disappoint-
ing you will never repeat the mistake.
Do not be too ambitious the first sea-
son. Never attempt novelties or plants
that need careful culture. Better raise
easy things we'll; if your neighbors have
them, try to grow better specimens.
