This did very well for some commodities, but late I hit on the plan of taking my classes to market, Now, every day when I go to do my marketing I have it class with me. They examine everything I buy and I show them the difference between that and the kind I do not buy. "Last spring I had it call for lectures iit Philadelphia. It was much more in. teresting teaching those Philadelphia women than any Mass I have ever had in New York. In the first place the butchers,' bakers, fish men, fruit stall men and grocers didn't know who I was, so they treated me as they would have done any other eustomery and thus I had plenty of opportunity to point out to my pupile the kind of food they should not buy. "I think the Philadelphia, woman is a bit more careful when it comes to looking after her table than the New York woman. It may be that she has more tine, but certainly she is willing to go more into detail and knows more about the subject. The majority of the women over there appear to be interest- ed in learning about the difference be- tween good and bad food as a profes- sional would be in learning points about het' business. My classes here in New York always impress me a% a lot of amateurs who were doing it largely for amusement or a fad. "I believe that one of the reasons for this difference is the apartment houses, where most New Yorkers either are forced or prefer .to live. In Philadelphia every member of my class lived in a private house; there were no apartment dwellers. Besides being eager to learn the difference in 'quality of the varioue toodstuffs, they wanted to learn which could be bought in bulk to the greatest advantages. Here in New York there is little reason for a woman to interest herself in what should be bought in, large quantities and what should not. I don't know of a single apartment house whore a barrel of flour can be kept without inconvenience to our in-. mates. The lack of closet room has a lot to do with the high price of living inNefwYnoarkth "Iouat in Philadelphia women were accustomed to put up vegetab'es and fruits for winter use as well as to make preserves and jellies. Among n11 the women that I have lectured to in New York I have not found one who considered the economical side of can- ning corn and torhatoes. Many women who possessed country bomes and de- clared they were taking my course be- cause of the lameekeeptng done during the summer rather than that done In their city apartment and never canned either fruit or vegetables for the use of their families during the winter.
