women as Fortune Builders.

I observe, and you will notice, that
Notwithstanding the great incursion of
women, of late years, into one or an
other departments of business, they are
not of much account as fortune-build-
ers Some of them earn or make a
good deal of money, but they seldom
get rich by their own exertions, and
nearly all the rich women have inner
tied their fortunes from men. More
over, the women who are most success

the most successful as women. The

too valuable to be employed in mere
money-getting. Vast numbers of them
earn a living-sometimes good one

department of domestic science had
been limited to Jean Prescott and that
she had but two rOOms-one for lee
ture room and another for laboratory
-"merely a glorified kitchen" Jean
told her Students-in Il reimbursement
section of one of the college buildings.
One day Professor Gray was correct
ing test papers in his private office be-
side an open window that let in a flood
of sunshiny air that warmed, rather
than chilled, the room. At first he
shifted subcOnsciously and then he
dropped his fountain pen on his desk,
laid down the test book and shifted
definitely. His thoughts took the form
of "My, but that smells like good cof-
fee" He tried to go back to work
when something that smelled like the
crisp Drowned edges Of corn cakes
baked to a turn-an aroma redollent
with recollections of his youth and
cheerful thoughts of Southern
mammy-tempted him again. He took
in long draughts Of the fragrance and
then, rising, followed it to the window
whence it entered his room. He looked
down as if expecting to see table set
with coffee and corn cake in the court
below, but he saw nothing save the
wall of the building and numerous win
dows.
After that Gray made it a point to
Hnger in his office every afternoon at
about that time and he never failed to
leave the window open even when the
air became chill. Sometimes there
came the fragrance Of brOiling bacon
sometimes the luscious odOr of boiling
sugar and chocolate. Once it was the
mingled fragrance of beef and onions
and carrots that spelled in his mind
the kind of stew the old Southern
nanny used to make.
Then one day when the smell had
proved too tantalizing Professor Gray
walked stealthily downstairs to the
reimbursement section of the building
and, following the luscious fiavOrs that
now positively smote him with their
vividness, he came upon an open door
from whence issued the sounds Of femi-
nine voices and the occasional clattef
of tins and crockery. 1t was Jean
Prescott's domestic science laboratory
and laboratory session was in prog
ress. Afraid of being observed, he
walked slowly away and, as he walked
through the end Of the corridor, his
eyes caught sight of little card tackled
up on a bulletin board.
"For sale for the benefit of the Red
Cross" read the sign. products of
the cookery laboratory will be an sale

Professor Gray made an excuse to
himself to remain in his office until
late that afternoon and at just 4:59 he
slipped down to Miss Prescott's office

house there may be a partition placed
near one end TO form milk room and
Ice bunker. Such an arrangement Is
more economical of Ice than TO build
the milk room In some part Of the milk
house remote from the ice house. The
door into the milk room should be
constructed In the same manner as the
continuous doors placed in the outside
wall Of the ice house.
The milk house size and arrange
ment will depend upon the method of
handling the milk. If special equip
ment Is used, provision must be made
for II In the house. There is more TO
be considered than simply the size.
For instance, the farmer who wishes Il

turn the separator, churn, ice cream
freezer or whatever other equipment
is used requiring power, must have
provision for the placing of n concrete
base, at the time of pouring the foun-

provided In the wall or roof for the eX'

washing of cans and milking utensils
requires small sink which should
be placed where there is plenty of

Some of the buildings on the aver

original investment and also in labor
cost of doing certain parts of the farm
work, may be designed to serve n null
tIple purpose. OF the possible combi-
nation buildings, perhaps the most log
ical is the combined Ice house and
milk house. The appearance of the
farm is very much benefited by having
Il smaller number of high-grade build
ings of somewhat larger size. A large
number of scattered outbuildings not
only result in the appearance Of dis

very often actually results in the waste

Then one day Jean and her first
class in cookery gave a luncheon for
certain chosen members of the faculty
and, strangely enough, Jean had the
temerity TO invite as guest of honor
the man who was the most confirmed
old bachelor in the faculty. He did
especial honor to the feast and went
away wondering why it would not be
feasible for some person Of wealth to
endOw special domestic science

with n scholarship for his own remlss

But the one who received them guessed

A few weeks later there was an i'm
pOrtant meeting Of the trustees of the
college, called specially by the presi.
dent to discuss pressing business. All
were present save Professor Gray, who
sent his proxy. The most important
announcement to be made was that the
absent trustee had withdrawn his OBJ

among those trustees who were most
