“The Perfect Wife.”
“The National Training School of Cookery and Domestic Subjects in Buckingham Palace Road, 8.W., could legitimately call itself ‘‘The College for the Perfect Wife,” for if is there, that many young brides-to-be go to learn wifecraft says a writer in the Daily Mail. “Recently at an exhibition of the work of students we were shown through gleaming kitchens and large airy laundry rooms. 1 saw a girl expertly preparing a, dinner of several courses, which in addition to being more appetising was also designed to cost little. Then there was a display of suppers for the typist, a selection for each night of the week, each of which cost only 9<l. In various rooms were shown articles of furniture made and upholstered by students; butter churned by them, clothes laundered, dyed, and renovated in the classes; and a model nursery containing cots, clothes and food prepared by the girls who sat nursing life-sized dolls in the correct professional manner.
