"Y ADOPTS COURSE
IN HOUSEKEEPING

Girls are being taught how to rob
that dreadful old monster, the High
Cost of Living, OF something OF his
sting, at the Young Women's Christian
Association, through the courses Of the
educational department
TheSe courses not only fit the girls
for making a living but they also pro-
vide the sort Of knowledge that enables
those who are not in business 10
stretch their incomes in way that
often puts them in a position where
they can laugh at high price schedules.
For in these classes, instruction is
being given that in a short time en-
ables the students to make their own
frocks and hats; to prepare their own
meals and superintend household cook
ing.
Then, too. there are courses in home
nursing that prepare women for the
care of convalescents, invalids and
light forms of illness, as we'll as class
es in English, French, penmanship
postermaking, homemaking. which in
cludes simple interior decoration, and
dramatic art.
The prowess OF the girls of the mil
linery classes always excites the ad-
miration of the hosts of women who
visit the shows andfthey are frequently
heard to state that it is simply incredi-
BILE that such beautiful creations
could be made for such a small amount
of money Some of the lovliest of the
hats. 1t is said, cost as little as SIS.
The Domestic Science Department is
in charge of Dr. Leila Powers and is
divided into three courses. The first
equips one for cooking simple meals
bread making, the care and value OF
milk, with special attention to max
ing the cheaper cuts of meat palatable
and attractive.
The second course supplements
Course l, and includes more elaborate
cooking, cakes, salads and desserts
and students are shown how to make
and modify recipes.
The third course teaches cooking as
a fine art. Planked meats and fish
fancy desserts and cakes, canning and
preserving completes the equipment OF
the expert cook who graduates" from

Arab Prophecy FULFILLED.

There Is an Arabs legend which I
heard often out in the East. that not
until the Nile flowed into Palestine
would the Turk be driven from Jeru-
salem--a picturesque way of intimat-
inG that the Turk would stay there for
ever (as in virgiIss First Eclogue like
prophecy was made, two thousand
years ago, of the impossibility Of the
Germans reaching the Tigris).
But the Nile now flows into Pales-
tine, not metaphorically, but literally.
1 have seen the plant at Kantara.
where (under the direction of Ca
madam engineer) the sweet water Of
the Nile is filtered and started on its
journey through 12-inch pipe across
the desert toward GAIA. The mound
of sand that protects 1t Is visible a
few yards from the railroad all the
way from the Suex to the edge OF
Palestine. And the Turk has been
driven from Jerusalem by the same
forces that caused the water of the
Nile to flow into Palestine.-John II.

The greatest maker OF earthenware
In England was Josiah Wedgewooi
who made '-the Potteries," strip of
clay barrens, six by eight miles long,
produce wares famous throughout the
civilized world. The quality of the
clay used decides the kind of pottery,

produced. The red crockery, of which
crooks, pans, casseroies, marmites and
such work-a-day dishes are made, IL

with litharge Of lead ground with the
clay. This glaze Is almost transpa--
ent and the rich colors of the clay
show through handsomely. The lead,
however, has been found to cause In

have been kept in these convenient
containers so that salt glazed ware Is
more In demand. In some countries
for household use. The salt glaze is
produced by throwing coarse salt into

HOW CHINESE LADIES MANAGE

We have all heard about the hon
esty Of the Chinese business man and
something OF his skill as a trades
man The world has neglected TO
give publicity to the financial ability
OF the daughters of these men. They
proved it in the last Y ". c. A. tinan-
cial campaign in Tien Tsin Wher-
ever the Y. W. c. A. goes. the budget
system is sure to follow after" il
is so in China and after the budget
for the year has been decided upon
by the finance committee of that par
ticular city. three weeks are always
allowed for the actual subscription OF
funds. The campaign at Tien Tsin
in north China was managed entirely
by Chinese ladies and in ten short
days, these Oriental women had bro
ken all records and brought in a
large surplus beyond their budget.
