That the honor of being a daisy
chain" girl at Vassar college may be
worn by one who could not be class
ed as a female m~ollycoddle, and that
at least ONE of the younger social
set Of the national capital have the
stamina of real h%eroines, has just
been demonstrated at Great Falls.
Mont. by Miss Abbie Hamilton. who
was a member of Vassar's "daisy
Marion Frances Maddox, daughter Of
Fletcher Maddox. a solicitor Of the
interior department. The incident
which proved these facts has been the
topic for social chat in the most ex>
elusive circles In that city and Hell
ena and Buttee for the last few
days.
The incident occurred at Neihart in
the mountains. about fifty miles from
Great Falls. where the leaders of the
social set have a very exclusive camp
grounds.
Miss Hamilton. Miss Maddox, Miss
Louise Weber and Miss Doris Robin
son were at the Weber summer cot
tage for a week and decided they
wanted to go to Neihart. eight miles
away. to a dance. There was no con.
veyance at hand and no train was
passing. What should be done? Walk.
suggested Miss Maddox. VERY WE'LL"
chimed in the "Vassar daisy" and
Miss Robinson and Miss Weber as
sented.
They started on the trip and had
got only about five miles when a ter
rife mountain storm came up. That
proved. too. that a Vassar daisy
chain" girl or a Washington society
leader could get wet to the skin just
as easily as n other mortal. and the
rain proceeded to wet all foul to the
skin very completely. so it is told.
Household science is progressing
rapidly among women's clubs Of Wy
oming as an important subject for
study. Prof. Minna Stoner Is chair
mar of the state committee and under
her direction has been issued a book
let giving study outlines for club
meetings, to cover two or three sea-
sons work. The subject is divided into
food commission. 2. Foods. Selection,
combination and preparation. 3.
Household art. Each group is outlin-
ed in detail for study. Under group
one is printed. The fact that the
women are in sympathy with the
work Of the commission Is in itself
a great help. But the progress Of the
movement can be furthered II the Wo-
men will take careful note Of the va
rious publications sent out at inter-
walls by the commission. Members
Of the commission have found in the
kitchens of many homes the food bull
letins for reference in the purchase
of supplies. One can realize that il
every housewife would follow this
practice it would be impossible to sell
condemned goods and manufacturers
would take greater interest in putting
pure foods upon the market. Through
its food commission the state has ac-
complished much, not only in the
procuring Of unadulterated goods but
also in the promotion Of established
sanitary conditions. However. 1t is
a deplorable fact that u cities have
done little in this very important mat
ter of sanitation. The people Of the
state cannot expect to obtain the most
wholesome foods If butcher shops.
slaughter houses. grocery stores. dali
ries. restaurants and hotels are per-
mitted to take care Of themselves as
best they may.
