~ Conservative and thought
full women all over the world are in
terested as never before in efficient
housekeeping methods. and this ac-
counts in a large measure for the pop
ularity of such better foods, better
homes lecturers as Miss Peet gives.
Wherever she appears she draws
crowded houses. Sometimes Miss Peet
conducts her homeeconomics schools
in moving picture theatres and mana
gers say she draws more women than
they get out of a matinee. 1t isbe-
lieved that a course OF lectures dealing
in a constructive and comprehensive
manner with housekeeping and cook
cry subjects will strongly appeal TO the
progressive housewives of this city
and for this reason Miss Peet is being
brought 10 Rock Island. Women here
have always supported any effort to
ward better homes. The course of
lectures and cookery lessons planned
by The Argus under the personal d.
rection of Miss Peet tends TO enlighten
the home makers and lift the burdens

how to inspire other women to love
this important work as much as she
does She will cook many dainty and
substantial dishes during her stay in

Is Domestic Science Expert.
Miss Peet is an enthusiastic domes-
tic scientist and teachers and students
of this subject approve of her work
Int in,
domestic science is steadily growing
far and wide, and Miss Peet believes
that this is because there is no sub
ject more worthy of woman's close
attention and deep study than that of
housekeeping and good cooking. She |
most earnestly advocates women being /
thoroughly trained for the great work I
of home making. She teaches domes- Z
tic science as nothing more nor less /
than the requirement of a definite /
of the principles and meth /
DDS OF home making and housekeeping |
and of the proper preparation of foods.
