COOKING SCHOOL ENDS.
Women Who Have Attended Express
 Their Appreciation to Miss Hanko.

Saturday was the last day of The Bulletin Cooking schol, which has been held for week in Olympic hall, and although there was a pouring rain all the afternoon the interest was so great that the hall had a good sized crowd and the session was an enthusiastic once
 That Miss Emma Hanko, the domes- tic science expert, who has given the demonstrations, has won the approval of the women who have listened to her was evident when she was presented a beautiful bouquet of flowers and also purse of money, both coming as an entirely voluntary expression on the part of those who have enjoyed the sessions.
 In the course of the lesson Saturday Mis- Hanko was interrupted again and again by enthusiastic applause. She has won the approval of all Norwich and has made many friends here. The comments on the school are most com plfmentary, and Norwich ladies are ex- travagant in their praise of Miss Han ko and of The Bulletin Cooking school. One of the well known women of Nor wich who has been attending each ses- sion of the school said: "All women should study housekeeping problems with the idea of gaining household effi- ciency, and the housekeepers of Nor wtch have had a most unusual Oppor- tunity in this direction in the instruc- tion given them by Miss Hanko. She has brought before us ideal methods of living which are none the less prac tical and workable, and her work among us has been worth any trouble and ex- penSe incurred in bringing her here" Another one of the leading educators of Norwich said of Miss Hanko and the cooking school idea: "One purpose of a course in home economies is to make women more efficient and valuable so- ciallY. The great work Miss Hanko is doing is just along these lines, and it's value cannot be overestimated."
 Club women of Norwich have been actively engaged in the movement making for greater efficiency in indi- vidual homes and in civic housekeep- ing, and one of the leaders in this movement said that anything like the domestic science course which has been conducted under the auspices of The Bulletin, and which teaches do- mestic science principles to the public, is most excellent and deserving of the most earnest support"
 Answered Many Questions.
 The concluding session was devoted almost exclusively to answering ques tions. These covered every phase of housekeeping and cooking, and Miss Hanko was able to .unravel many housekeeping tangles and solve many culinary problems for her cooking school guests. The menu was a par ticularly fine one, and every dish was thoroughly enjoyed.
 At the close of the lecture -demonstra- ton regular siege of women waited to say goodbye to Miss Hanko and ex press appreciation of the services she has rendered.
 The Bulletin Cooking school may not rid Norwich of all cases of poor cook ing, but it should certainly tend to inn prove the health and comfort and the enjoyment of many Norwich homes.

Sir Rufus Isaacs, England's lord chief justice, who within the last few days has taken the title of Lord Read ing. recently lectured on the art of cross examination which incident re- calls to a writer the fact that cross examination is much less severe to- day than it used to be.

 MONTH IN THE STORES

Merchandising custom has made February the great Home Month"
 Read the advertising of the merchants these days in the live daily newspapers like The Bulle- tin and you will see how vigor- ously the stores are pressing their offerings of goods that have to do with the furnishing of the home.
 Wise homemakers have long since learned the advantage of planning their purchasing along with the tides of the season. It is the policy of taking advan- tage of the market" applied to domestic affairs.
 Every member of the family big or little, is interested in the home. So at no season of the year is advertising of greater importance than right now.
 Those who follow the merean tile announcements in their daily newspapers will be certain to buy to greater advantage than those who merely shop in a hap hazard manner.
