Doors Open at 1.30 O'Clock
The doors of Fahnestock Hall at the
Y. NJ. c. a. open each afternoon at
i1.a0 o'clock. From o'clock until 2.s0
a musicale will be given. Mrs. Vaughn
starts her lectures and demonstrations
promptly afterward.
Mrs. Naughns third lecture OF the
Telegraph Home Economics course
dealt exclusively with the subject of
food and its influence on the physical,
mental and moral welfare.
Before Mrs. Vaughn began her lee
ture yesterday she showed the men,
bers of her class how to prepare
chicken to be roasted in the fireless
cooker. She also explained the var
ious parts of the cooker and Just how
IL can be used to the best advantage.
The fireless cooker was closed up and
set aside, leaving, the chicken to roast
without any more attention from the
cook. This, Mrs. Vaughn said, is
what makes fireless cookery a really
valuable aid to the housewife. She
can put her dinner on TO cook and then
go to other duties or pleasures without
any necessity for worry or thought.
Her dinner will be properly cooked
when she is ready for 1t.

of the country she finds that economy
does not mean so much the saving of
money, as the arranging of resources
