WOMEN AND FOOD
Ik spite of protests and explanations it must bo owned that there i« some truth in the statements made by the Mayor oi' the- old city on the Avon — the, "Aquae Solis," of the Romans, states an exchange English women, in general, do not interest themselves in food, or study cookery and food values with tha same interest as their Continental sisters. This was acknowledged by an-official in control; of the 500 domestic economy centres in Loudon, where 10,000 ' girls are learning every day .to • cook, who said: "We kaow that with those few oxceptions in every group of women, they will never take a really deep interest in the art of tho ' cuisine.' " Hence- tho superiority of the male over the female cook, who lacks the initiative of the former, and very frequently that "mental sense of taste" which is necessary to success. So far as the younger generation is concerned, the modern housewife usually dismisses the subject as unpleasant, with the simple remark, "1 hato cookin"'"
