General Information 



The winter school at Massachu.setts 

 Agricultural College is offering unit 

 cour.ses in Home Economics. These will 

 include foods and nutrition, textiles and 

 clothing, health education and home 

 management. Each is planned to give in 

 brief, fundamental principles of the topic 

 to provide back-ground for practical ap-

 These courses are planned to meet the 

 needs of those interested in the newer as- 

 pects of Home Economics, — the young 

 woman at home, the club leader, the local 

 extension leader, the social worker, and 

 the homemaker.

Of Christmas, Irving said, "It is a 

 great thing to have one day in the year at 

 least, when you are sure of being welcome 

 wherever you go, and of having as it 

 were, all the world thrown open to you." 



Cunimington Women "Hatted" 



Hats! Hats! Hats! The Cummington 

 women met at Mi-s. C. J. Thayers home 

 and "Tied and Dyed" in the morning and 

 then made hats in the afternoon. Twenty- 

 seven women were present. Many very 

 original and attractive hats were turned 

 forth. 



In the morning, scarfs, luncheon sets 

 and bed spreads were "Tied and Dyed." 

 We all agree that a very lovely "Color" 

 day was had.
