APARTMENT USED
FOR PRACTICE IN
HOME ECONOMICS
University of Illinois women have a
perfectly appointed five-room apart-
ment in which they practice what they
have learned in their home economic
courses.
Four or five women from the prac-
tice apartment course live in the
apartment for a period of four weeks.
A faculty member of the home econ-
omic's department is in charge. The
women have complete charge of the
apartment, doing all the work ex-
cept the laundry. Thcy take turns as
house-manager, who buys the food,
enitertains the guests, acts as general
supervisor, cook, waitress, and maid.
Meals are planned according to
various income scales. Different
forms of table service are used in
cder to gain practice in tle various
methods. 'P'c pactice a pititiet 'stn-
delnts are required to have faculty
guests each week, and to give a tea
an1d formal dinner out of their budget.
Thle decoration of the apartment
and the arirai igemenlt of furniture is

Philosophizing from the bench on
the fascinations' of shopping, Mr.
Justice McCardie, London's bachelor
judge, held that women are often
lured, not by bargains, but by high
prices.
Men, too, like buying expensive
things, the court pointed out during
trial in the king''s bench division of a
firms suit against a woman who had
contracted for a quantity of fashion-
able clothes for which she had never
paid.j
"I really believe that if champagne
were six pence a bottle," remarkedI
the judge, "tomorrow far less of it
would be drunk."
Justice McCardie discussing the at-
traction of high prices with. plaintiff's
counsel fearlessly suggested that
women favor fur coats chiefly on ac-
count of their costliness.
