Qfomeg ' Because of the many slippers and afghans made by the home economics department, a good share of the servicemen 'are more comfortably happy. This year the classes are specializing in making supplies for the Red Cross. In the sew- ing classes, girls receive instruction in the ele- mentary mechanics of both hand and machine sewing, and they are also taught the good selec- tion and care of clothes. E Practical knowledge of all food principles, canning and planning, preparing and serving meals make up the busy round of the cooking section of home economics. Artistic arrange- ment of the table and the duties of a hostess are both stressed. From these classes, a girl may receive the knowledge of household affairs which will en- able her to perform her-duties as housekeeper with intelligence and interest which will make for the health and happiness of her family.
