COOKING CLASSES CONDUTS
AT HOUSEWIVES' EXHIBIT

Housewives Of Birmingham have a
new conception Of the practical train
ing in domestic science offered to the
girl students at Alabama college, Monte
vallo, since the conclusion of the cook
ing school conducted during the past
week at the municipal auditorium by
Miss Annie e. Sale, director Of the de-
partment of home economics at the col
lege. Miss Sale's cooking classes, held
on the stage each morning at IL o'clock,
proved one Of the most popular features
of the housewives exhibit held under
the auspices of the jefferson County
League Of Women Voters. The cooking
school was arranged by the Wofford
Oil company.
Assisting Miss Sale during the classes
were two of the students Of the college,
Miss Lucy McCalley of Birmingham, a
sophomore, and Miss Mildred Walker of
Newborn, a senior.
More than 1000 housewives attended
the classes, which began on Tuesday
and ended Saturday. Beginning with
a lesson on cereals and beverages, Miss
Sale carried the instruction on through
to special desserts and bread-making.
A great deal of favorable comment was
aroused by her efficiency presentation
of the fundamentals Of good cooking and
it was remarked that the lessons were
of practical, everyday nature with lit
tie emphasis on frills.
Miss Sale has been head of the home
economics department of Alabama col
lege for the past two years, coming here
from a position with the state Of South
Carlina. Since her connection with the
college she has won a strong following
throughout the state as an authority.

n NE reason for this is that thoes
who really have done something
worth while, something for which
they might be pardoned if they boosted
a little, seldom do boast. So when we
hear a boaster we always begin to
suspect that he hasn't done so very
much after all. He is like the Laugh
ing Brook where it flows over the
stones and pebbles and there is hardly
water enough to cover them. 1t gurgles
and splashes and makes a great fuss.
1t calls attention to itself. 1t seems to
say: Here l am! See me! See the
white froth 1 am kicking up. That
shows how strong and fierce am"
All the time you know and know
that right there is the very place we
can easiest get across. 1t is there
we have nothing to fear from it. All
that chatter and noise is but idle boast
ing. 1t is where the water is deep,
that quiet, making no sound, that the
Laughing Brook awakens orr respect.
Now Reddy Fox is boaster. He is
smart He is very smart. But he isn't
content to let people find out for them
selces. He likes to tell how smart he
is. In fact with that boastful tongue
of his he tries to make himself appear
even smarter than he really is. The re-
suit is that great many of his neigh
bors the little people of the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest, do not
credit him with being as smart as he
really is. Now Reddy should have
known better than to boast to old
Granny Fox. In the first place it was
she who had taught him most of what
he knew. But Boosting is habit, a
bad habit and like bad habits it grows
and grows. So the instant Reddy
reached home after that long run,
when Bowser the Hound had SO nearly
caught him he began to boast.
He staggered up to where the old
Granny Fox was sitting on the door
step. To swagger is to strut proudly
as you know. Where have you been?"
demanded Granny sharply.
Showing that silly hound of Farm
er Browns how useless it is for him
to try to catch me-" boosted Reddys
ut was splendid exercise, and great
fun"
Now you remember, it hadn't been
fun at all because Bowsef the Hound
had so nearly caught Reddy that for
time Reddy had been quite in despair.
But he didn't intend to let Granny
know this. Il suppose you mean it
was great fun for Bowser," said Granny
dryly.
Reddy looked at her sharply. He
had an uncomfortable feeling that
Granny knew more about that chase
than he had supposed she did. He won
dered how much she did know. NO."
said he. II mean it was fun for me-

he won't forget in a hurry. He was
the most frightened dog you ever saw.

women can. He says that the respon'

also says that it is just as much
woman's duty to keep up appearances
in the home as outside, but not so for
the man as he cannot give the same
ocular pleasure in any case.
1t Is perhaps presumptuous for me
to contradict Mr.. Bennett. Yet it seems
to me that he makes two statements
which permit at least of discussion.
In the first place, it is true that men
are incapable of being as graceful, as
pleasing to the eye as women! Per
sonality, 1 disagree. 1t is true that IN
the past century mems clothes have
grown to be sombre and dull and GER
tainly do not add any beauty, color or
gaiety to life. But one can deny that
this has not always been SO and that
in days gone by a man was as beauti-
full sight to look upon and moved with
as much grace as a woman. 1t Is con-
sidered rather effeminate nowadays
for a man to be graceful and yet many
of them can't help being so in spite
of themselves. Why it should be con-
sidered effeminate is to me a mystery.
as nothing makes for grace of line and
movement as much as strength and
good physical condition.
Really, on the whole, women are
rather unjustly treated. We hear
1ain &c a l.
tants of the globe about our clothes and
vet I think that most of them would be
like Mr.. Bennett; the first to complain
~ we became drab and colorless in APP
pearance. Why should we have to do
all the work in keeping up the ocular
pleasures" of man and then get scolded
for it? Why don't they do little of
it for US?
To argue the second opinion l read
as Mr.. Benefits, we must allow as
premise the one l have just discussed.
So, allowing that irrespective of the eff
fort a man may make, he cannot be as
pleasing to the eye as a woman, is that
any excuse for his ceasing all effort!
Because Jane Smith could not pos
sibly be a beautiful woman should she
then throw up her hands and say, "All
right, 1 won't bother about the way
/ look at all. I'll be sloppy at home
and wear any old thing. l can't be
beautiful ANYWAY" Decidedly she should
not and neither should a man. Be-
cause in the present day mode he can
rot hope to be as charming looking at
dinner as his wife in her teagown. is
no reason that he should make himself
still less charming by removing his
collar or being unshaven.
In short, it seems obvious that today
when women lend the only pleasure to
the eye that exists, as far as clothes
20 land not such a great one at that y
but it seems to me that Mr.. Bennett is
wrong in claiming that as an excuse
for men making no effort to appear as
attractive as possible.

What did you do?" demanded
II let him almost catch me-" replied
Reddy, land then led him straight to
where Buster Bear was taking a nap
You ought to have seen Buster Bear |!
OF course, took care to get out of the
way myself, and he didn't pay any at
tention to me. He just made for Bow
ser and Bowser put his tail between
his legs and started for home yelping
at the top of his voice. He was scared
almost to death. 1t was one of the
smartest tricks 1 have ever played"
Now what Reddy had told Granny
was partly true, but it wasn't the whole
truth. He had led Bowser to where
Buster Bear was taking nap, and
then things had happened just as he
said. But he hadn't led Bowser there
purposely. No, indeed! He hadn't
known that Buster Bear was there.
If he had known nothing would have
tempted him to go near that place. The
real truth was that all of Reddy's smart
tricks to fool Bowser had failed and it
was Just chance that had led him to
where Buster Bear was. 1t was just
chance, and as it turned out lucky
chance, for Reddy had been SO tired
that he could have run very little fur
Their. Now that it was all over he
wanted Granny Fox to think that he
had done it purposely. In fact he
wanted to think so himself. because it
would be something to brag and boast
about. All the way home he had
thought about it until he had almost
made himself believe that he had done
it purposely. He didn't mean to be TN
truthful 1t was just the result of that
habit of Boosting, and also the desire to
escape the scolding he knew he would
get if Granny suspected the truth.
