Gratefully, Dear Miss --, My daughter is getting along very nicely with her cooking. Quite often she makes some special dish for supper or-breakfast, and some- times gets the whole meal by herself. Last night she made a nice pan of muiTins for us. Dear Miss -Q-, We wish to say that we are well pleased with the progress that Florence is makinv' with her cooking lessons. We think she is do- ing nicely for a sfirl of her age. She seems to take quite a-nr inter- est in cooking the things at home that she has learned to cook at school. Yours verv truly, Mas. --- ---.

HER MOTHER. Good Sewing is Important My friend took sewing at school. She also made many things at home. All her teachers remarked how well Emma did her sew- ing, All her clothes were very nice. A After she finished school she had to work, and couldn't pay much money for clothes. Having kept her sewing up, she could make her own dresses. Every time she wore a new dress, everyone thought she had bought it. Her friends were much surprised when they learned that she made them herself. They declared that she sewed wonderfully. She wouldn't he ahle to make her own dresses if she hadn't kept her sewing up. Some girls who take sewing in school neglect, when they leave, to pay attention to the sewing that has to be done. Unless you know how to sew, you will have to pay much money for nice clothes. So keep your sewing up, girls.-E. R., 139.

Little did l think then that l would become so fond of the work that in my A9 term l would be maki-ng a large table at school, and also would have a small work shop at home to make useful presents for friends and relatives. I would not he ahle to make these things if l had not worked 811114111-ALILLLLXLL Lf
