THE R. H. S. ANNUAL 231 Domestic Science HEN my Martha Ann wanted to go to high school in town after she'd finished in our distric, I held out aginst it purty still, till her Ma took 'er side, an' then I gin in. But along come February, she wants to take D'mestic Science. No sir, says I, you kin larn to cook to hum. Your Ma's the best cook in these parts. But her Ma, she wants it too, so Martha Ann started in. I knew she'd get a lot of crazy notions, I I H ' D h sure 'nuf' first think she hed to hev a cap, for all the world like one o' them nurse s, an more xln s t en her Ma ever had hed in all her cookin'. ,But the worst thing, the teacher made 'em try their stul'I' to hum till me an the boys told Marthy we guessed we'd hev to board out this Spring. But she J stood fer all our teasin' purty well and stuck to the cookin', so I allowed I'd drop in an' visit some day when I was in town. Well I came in a few days afore Easter, an' stopped to see the cookln school. 'I he l l k' ' gals was all a sittin' there copyin' somethin' from the board an'-my stars-they was a rea smart oo in outfit with them caps an' apurns. The teacher was real sociable, an' give me a cheer. The gals was a studyin' about aigs she told me, 'an I see a recipe on the board for aigs a la golden. Souncled jist about as I expected, I didn't expect much o' anythin' after thet name. W ll h l th ' o in' an' after FCCIIZIH, some they went to cookin'. On'-my stars-their e ,t egasgot lu c py tools want no bigger 'n Marthy's doll dishes. They was real cute, but so small I d1dn't see how they could.do nothin' with 'em, They, hed a hull cupboard full o fixins thet Marthy Ann said they hed to keep in spick and span order. The' was a rolling pin about as big as a sausage, an' knifes, an' spoons, an' down below by the bowls I see a double biler no bigger 'an a teacup. An the pie tin-twould only hold one fair sized bite. The gals was real handy with the things, tho, and the size didn t seem to bother em. They biled an aig some way with no fire under the hot water, then peeled it, an' put the white in ll some stuff like Ma makes fer cream potatoes. They put this on toast they made on their little do stoves the size o' one 0' lVIa's pancackes. Then they took the yelk o' the aig an put it in a concern somethin' like a seive with a thing to squash it thu-ricer, Marthy calls it--an', sir, didn't it come out in little strings an when it was put on the cream stufiiit looked all the worl' like goldenrod-it did, fer a fact. It was good, too, fer one o' the gals give me what she made. Well, when they got thru eatin' their own. aig an' tastin every one elses', they washed up the dishes an' cleaned up. I told Ma afterwards thet lVIarthy'd larn one thing handy at D'mestic Science-how to wash dishes. She never seems to have no time fer it to hum. But I ain't sayin' nothin against cookin' school ner teasin Marthy about it eny more. They larn lots o' things that come in handy when the min- ister comes to supper, tho they would'nt feed a gang o' thrashers on a hot day. 'o7.
