Madame Galloway, who balls from New York city, spent sercral days of this week nt the home of Mrs. P. II. Hnook In this I-Ity, en route to Albany, where she will spend a season for her health. When one considers the fame of Madame Galloway,s pupils, the high esteem In which she Is held by the great musical directors and Impress- nee, she looms up as probably the most noted rolce-bullder In America. And right here la the distinction which explains and answers the foregoing ques tions as regards the beliefs and the opin ions of Madame Galloway's school. She Is a "rolce-bullder.” ■■ distinguished from a "rocal teacher. She builds voices. She takes, collects, gathers togstber, and properly piece* thee# essentials which go to make up a yolco and sho builds a singing atructnfe. A rocal teacher.

Harvey W, Wiley, the gov omnium's chemist In chief, "that the twentieth century young' lady should affect to despise the art of cooking, and to regard the most >admtrable of housewifely ocupntfons ns beneath her attention. Cooking Is properly to be regarded as one of the esthetic arts. But It Ja also a means of physical cul ture. It I, a brlnger of health.to her who cooks, as. well ae a source of happiness (when the work Is properly done) to thoee for whom the. culinary procesees are performed. It Is a mis take to look upon kitchen work ae mere drudgery, appropriate only for menial eervltors. Among the household arte It stands foremost, being obviously the moet Important; and the fine lady who affects to despise It, and who brings up her daughters In Ignorance of. It—re gardless of the fact that they may marry poor 'men, and that such knowledge may at a future day be to them of utmost value—Is causing her Influence, so far as It may extend, to turn ctvlllxatlon backward. •Furthermore, no man who has reach ed the age of discretion admires the useless, incapable womnn/who does not know how to manage the business of her domestic establishment—not even how to.gtve Intelligent directions to the cook. The time hoe passed when help, leesnese In young women was regarded ai attractive. Men nowadays want wives who are efficient and self-reli ant helpmates. But the point on which I would lay most stress Is that kitchen work promotes health. There le no bet ter exercise than that which is ob tained Incidentally to culinary tasks. For developing the physique, tossing flapjacks la better than grucehoopB (which, by the way, are coming Into fashion again); beating eggs Is as good as wielding a tennis racquet, and mash ing potatoes le decidedly superior to bowling. "To create the masterpiece a first- rate dinner demands Imagination. Nay, more—It calls upon the Judgment and the perceptive faculties. Thus the practice of the culinary art Improves the mind while It develops the body. It affords exercise valuable to men- ‘ Jlty ae well ae to the physique. •The culinary exercise's may be re tried ae a specialised form of calls- lenlcs. Well-conducted cooking schools are among the most admirable of edu cational Institutions, and should be en. couraged with liberal endowments. No young woman, however elevated the social sphere In which she moves, should be allowed to arrive at a mar riageable age without knowing how to prepare an appetising dinner from the ■oup to the dessert. It Is a part of her business In life. If she does not nossess euch knowledge she Is not flt :o be the mistress of a household or the wife of any man worth having os a husband. She should be left on the shelf ss a suitable recruit for the ranks of the old maids,” o Newa. Annie Comer. The funeral rites of Annie Comer, the Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. S.
