Domestic Science (Tub Had Good Meeting Last Saturday.

The meeting of the domestic science club at the library last Saturday was a very enjoyable and profitable one to all who attended it a£fej|&. interest in the club is gaining jßbund. The meeting was calle# to order by Mrs. A. P. Burton,* the president, and the minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. W. S. Day. The meeting. was then pfit liito the hands of Miss McCheyne, of Purdue university, and her talk was very enthusing to all wh6 had the good fortune to hear it Miss McCheyne insists on progress in housekeeping and encouraged the club to discuss all phases of home making. As a means of getting best results she urged that the members study the different domestic science books in the public library. Another means of producing much good is by getting all young married women and single girls to attend the club meetings and for each to help the other-in overcoming the hard places in housekeeping. Miss McCheyne^ said that all should insist in talking plainly in a kind way, evidently meaning that there is a tendency to spare feelings some times by little deceits that should give place to perfect candor. The sensible woman would sooner that some fault in the home setting be kindly pointed out than that she be left in ignorance of it while her acquaintances, to her back, criticise it. Miss McCheyne said that some exhausted housekeepers do not know when or how to rest and said that they need instruction find can find it by a systematic arrangement of house work. The speaker insisted that all should learn how to do general cooking and that the club will do its best work when it gets the- interest of women and girls generally in the work of making healthful and happy homes. x The members pronounced th? address of Miss McCheyne a great inspiration to themselves and it is hoped to have her here again and to have a much larger attendance. In the meantime, it is hoped that many other women and girls will become members of the club.
