Hospitality cannot flourish in a

the hostess suffers with every pros
pect of arriving guests" declares
Mrs. Leona Ihrig, domestic science
expert whose famous series OF cook
ing lectures will be inaugurated at
the Junior College Nov. 3 and con-
tinue for five consecutive days.
There is all the difference in the
world between visiting at a home
where the housewife is complete
mistress Of kitchen problems and
where a rich background Of con-
fidence in her culinary activities
inspires her invitation with the
sincerity that cannot be ques-
toned, says Mrs. Ihrig.
"A generation ago, when women'S
activities were not as varied as
they are today and a woman's time
not so divided, q hostess looked for
ward with anticipation toward the
prospect of arriving guests. 1t
meant an opportunity 10 demon
strate canacities in meal preparation
that would lend prestige to the cook
and her cuisine. She felt that hel
husband would be justly proud OF
her efforts and that her guests
would ultimately depart in full
knowledge Of the fact that their
hostess was able TO match III
worthily with the standards OF
cooking extant at the time.
To-day, the multiplied interests
usurping the time OF the average
housewife. make il impossible FOL
