If anyone thinks home interests are dying out they should go to the Free Home Economies School which Mrs Kate Brew Vaughn is conducting for The Graphic at Shriner's temple this week. When the Mere Man rep resenting the editorial department Of The Graphic was introduced to the cooking school teache-' in the wings of the temple she was just about to go on for the first lesson. She paus- ed long enough to shake hands and welcome a mere man and to suggest, to his rapture, that he sample her Californiacake, of which there was on the nearby table the largest amount of cake Mere Man had ever seen at one time. Mere Man had gone down to Shriner's temple ex- pecting to interview an Agreeable" woman and could hardly believe that the young and smiling woman before him was the teacher of whom we had been reading all last week and whom he had been informed was the mother of several children. When, after the confusion incident to this rearrangc-
 
 was the mother of three sons, she replied with more than usual pride, "I have five children" and as she spoke, she carefully smoothed down her milky white apron with hands that looked highly capable-and cor | respondingly shapely. "Thev are tho most beautiful-but there I go! |
 suppose every mother praises her children. It's human nature" The mention of children, however, brought out another interesting thing about Mrs. Vaughn and her travels over the country. She is doing it for money-and the money is being used
 to educate those children.
 l The Mere Man afterward went out | in front, where many women were
 gathered and listened to the twenty
 minute lecture which the expert utilizes to open her cooking demon
 stration campaign in every city wis., ited. Then it was he learned some ! truths concerning domestic science which opened even Ms masculine eyes.
 Nome Managing Distinct Science. l For domestic science, according to , Mrs. Vaughn, consists of something else than just cooking and keeping house correctly If she is to be be- lieved, the woman who classes as a successful domestic scientist nowa- days must be as efficient in her , sphere as a highly trained mechanical ! engineer in his-and then some. "Do you ladies ever stop to think of all the qualifications you must pos sess to be a successful wife and

the white enameled kitchen cabinet she is using in her demonstrations will be given away Saturday forenoon, when the closing session of the an nual school will be held.
 Mrs. J. T. Crawford became the pos sessor of one of Mrs. Vaughn's large decorated cakes, and the teacher an nollnced that two equally as pretty and as pleasant to the palate will be given away this afternoon.
 Some Ladies Fear 1Leir Pastry.
 The stage of the temple presents a queer appearance-to g Mere Man at any rate. In the center stands q couple of tables, covered with cook ing and mixing parapbernalia. Upon them is piled such things as flou: ,siftefs,aQ measuring cups, mixing spoors, plates of eggs. etc. Just be- hind is a beautiful enameled kitchen cabinet. It is worth going to see Mrs. Vaugn make and bake a cake. She throws the ingredients together at the rate of "a T;le minute" seemingly without regard for mathe- matical proportions, hut she calcd- lates everything to a hair, as matte" of fact, and talks all tfe time she IS doing it. Her auditors watch her with breathless interest, occasionally giving little squeels of alarm as the expert exhibits a particularly fla grant disregard for the ordinary rules of cooking.
 Don't be alarmed,' she observed at one time yesterday, as she jerked a partly baked cake '4t~ofc,the oven and turned it over in her hand. Half the time you ladies handle cake like a sick child, because that cake has you bluffed. You are afraid it will get back at you by falling, or some thing else. equally disastrous, but It won't-it is mixed right and the oven temperature is right"
 And she tossed it Jack into the oven as a laborer in brick plant losses bricks to his confederates.
 Incidentally, at the end of 2S min- utes. the cake emerged from the oven in all the glory of brown and crisp deliciousness. It was exactly the right size and degree of lightness. When Mrs Vaughn had covered 1t with icing the Mere Mans mouth was watering copiously. He wanted 70 test it.
 J, c. Beckbam, Mrs. Vaughns man ager. says that he never tires or listening to the lectures and watch ing the demonstrations. "She always springs something new" he confided.
 Her work was highly praised by the women who attended the opening session yesterday, and many ex- pressed their intention of being at every session of The Graphics Free Home Economies School. The aim of this course is to helL women to get more joy out of housekeeping and this afternoon Mrs. Vaughn is explaining how this may be done from an econ omic standpoint by talking on the Cost of Living-standards and Ideals" Tomorrow afternoon she will show clearly and convincingly that health and morals and happiness are largely dependent upon good food.
