Better foods lily feels that this past
Homes" week has been one of the
| WIZ most profitable in her
housekeeping experience. Mrs. Kate
b. Vaughn, who has been conducting
The Ardmorete Home Economic
School came to ArdmOre this season
with a fine reputation as a domestic
scientist and culinary expert and for
the past six days has been exceeding
that reputation with leaps and bounds.
The school closed yesterday amid
general expression of pleasure and
appreciation and eXtravagant compli-
ments of the lecturer and her assist
ant, Miss Katie Rose Anderson.
While Mrs. Vaughn did not lecture
yesterday, she did make a plea for
better home cooking nd for better
home ideals generally. She feels that
home-makers must realize the vast
scope of their influence upon the
world before they can send out men
to their business each morning, and
boys and girls to their school duties
fortified with nourishing food, which
Will build up their bodies and stimu-
/ late their brains to efficient service.
She gave special attention yesterday
to the important subject of school
lunches, demonstrating in an inter
esting and practical fashion just how
simple and pleasing lunch full o.
nutrient value may be prepared. he
whole field of foods has been given
consideration the past week Soups
fruits and cereals, bread and pies, and
cakes, all have come in for their
share of atteltion and Mrs. Vaughn
! has answered many question: in re-
| gard to seasCl'ng which she says
makes disre3 Interesting. She has
been asked to suggest books on
Child Feeding" and on "Dietetics"
and on Food Values" and on "Bal-
anced Menus" and has been able to
satisfy her questioners in every in
stance. She has shown how atten-
ton to seemingly very little things
aids wonderfully in culinary efforts.
Many things she tells are very simple
and at the same time very important.
The women have fairly absorbed her
culinary instruction she has given
them every day. She has demonstra-
ted how many good cooks could i'm
prove their art and that many indiffer-
ent cooks could easily become good
ones. She has from day to day i'm
pressed every one of her hearers with
her thorough knowledge of the sub
iects she has taken up. The women
who came hoping to learn something
practical that would help them over
the difficulties hey are encountering
| from day to day in their household
management have not been disap-
pointed. Mrs Vaughn believes that
beautiful theories are not particularly
valuable to women who are concerned
with such practical questions as man
aging the household finances, keep
ing the home in order and preparing
three nourishing, wholesome meals
each day. Through her instruction
women have learned much about
buying foods, combining foods, season
ing, and how to set tempting as well
as economical table.
A Vote Of Thanks for Mrs. Vaughn.
At the close Of the session yester-
day a rising vote of thanks was ex-
pressed for Mrs. Vaughn and most
enthusiastically given. Her assistant,
Miss Anderson, as well as The Ard.
moreite, which was instrumental IN
bringing these two charming and ca
pable women to ArdmOre, also came
in for their share of appreciation and
gratitude. Many hearty good wishes
we're expressed for Mrs. Vaughn's
success in her great task of encour
aging and inspiring American women
along Better Foods Better Homes"
lines.
