The women of Phoenix have
 made a most favorable impression upon Mrs. Florence Austin Chase, the famous domestic science au- thority who is conducting The
 Republicans Better Foods Better
 Homes exposition at the Shrine Auditorium this week.
 Accustomed to featuring before large audiences of women in all parts of the country, she is in . position to make an expert com parison and to quickly and accu- rately note the intelligence and refinement of the many who daily attend her talks and demonstra- tions.
 That Phoenix women as a class are good housekeepers and know
 how to conduct a home is the dec
 laration of Mrs. Chase who, after
 having addressed three large audi
 ences of women at the big Shrine
 auditorium, desires to state that
 the women of this city compare
 favorably with those of any city in
 the country where she has visited. "Their questions as a rule are
 intelligent and show that they
 have a proper conception of house. keeping and home arrangement. "lt has been a real pleasure to meet the many Phoenix women this week, and they have aided i'm measurably in making the Better Foods Better Homes week a de- lishtful task for me. shall look forward to the time when 1 hope to return to Phoenix and to renew the many delightful acquaintances have made on this first visit. There are many beautiful homes in Phoenix, beautifully and tastefufly arranged. Many of these are of the modest bungalow type, but they show unmistakabie good taste, both exterior and in terior and are an advertisement of the education and splendid quail ties of the women of the city. "No one can come to Phoenix and spend a week without wishing to return, for the women are as delightful as the climate, and that
 is a matter of country wide know ledge."
