boy was at a loss to know where to put his regular customers. Upon over- coming his perplexity, he bestowed upon us some very valuable information concerning cuts of meat. Upon the said occasion many glances of confusion were exchanged. After our Christmas vacation, it was with great disappointment we learned that our beloved teacher, Miss Peck, was not returning because of the severe illness of her mother. Along with that news came the announcement of her engagement. CGood cooks seem to be very much in demandj Mrs. Hoffman very ably has Filledthis vacancy. This term, though an unusually short one, will be remembered with most pleasant recollections of some very happy days spent here. We make fare- wells regretfully and hope that each of us shall strive for the motto by Frances Willarcl that the mission of the ideal woman is to make the world home-like. ! nomic 1acoNoxrics cook1Nc: 75 r

Home Economics Course COMPANY of twenty girls found themselves gathered together one November morning in nineteen hundred and fourteen, in the Short Course building, with great prospects of becoming very much domesti- cated by February twentieth, under the instruction of Misses Peck and Rogers. VV e were expecting, in this short term, to become fully versed in every line of the work, with little, if any, studying.

Voorhees Association, and also the invitation of the Poultry Department to attend an evening's program given by them. One cold afternoon Miss Peck announced that this was the day set to dis- cover the beauties in architecture found here in New Brunswick. She seemed to take particular delight in the most admirable examples found on College avenue, much to the extreme annoyance of two in our midst who kept a safe distance in the lead, but Miss Rogers' watchful eye was upon them and they were still with us until we disbanded. A few of the girls deemed it best to cut this very afternon, knowing the style and characteristics of some of these resi- dences exceedingly well. They were congratulating themselves upon their good fortune in so easily evadingtheir teachers and classmates to the extent that Bruns' looked attractive to them. So can you conceive their extreme amazement and annoyance upon entering the store to find both teachers there, recuperating from their strenuous jaunt? A very rapid exit ensued.
