That it is wrong- to say a chant, lawyer, or other professional man cannot succeed without resort¬ ing to sharp practices. To say this is equivalent to saying that lying and swindling are part of the moral code. That she likes to read such pieces as “Farmer Girl” wrote for the Dis¬ patch last week. It was chock full of solid wisdom from start to finish, and will doubtless accomplish much good. And it cavne straight from the pen of a farmer’s pretty little daughter. That she knows this to Ibe-a utili¬ tarian age, and that good house¬ keepers are above par. For this reason (as well as others) she has been diligently trying to perfect herself in the culinary science and in house-keeping generally.
