The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1865-10-30


In the November Atlantic we find a
very lively chapter upon cookery and
It's comforts in style combining cul-
ture and brtlliancy with sound, prace-
cal sense. The writer, is woman of
taste. genius, and maidenly refinement,
and yet she is as tolerant towards the
cravings Of masculine appetite us ifshe
were the mother ofa table full of hungry
boys. The following paragraph shows
that her culinary instincts have been
educated as they never would have been

eat and there is class of iouskeepers
who certainly return the compliment
upon men. These ethereal beings are
forever signing for life with appetite
LEFT out. Like Lord Dundreary's LADY,

IN the pantry hastily divouring onions
and beefsteak. To be hungry Is so yul-
gar One should live by nothing gros-
ser than inhalation, and should never
have an appetite greater than that of a
healthy bumblebee: But thanks to the

saints have the best bodies, this puerile
class is diminishing. For who can
doubt that the senses are entitle to their
full blossom? Gustation was meant to
be delightful; and cooking is certainly
half ps good as tasting. AT times one
may have ,lopged for the old Roman
custom OF two meals a dny, and going
to bed at chickeh-time, bringing tho
hour ofroast near the honr of roOst /,
but this was pro baby in families where
there were three repasts, with lunch all
the way between, and an incessant buy-
ing Of cookies from the baker, lest the
children should go hungry. After this
surfeit one pard6ns a rec6fl. Or, in an
eneryating day of July, one may have
lopged to dine upon a humming-birCt,
with rose=lenvea for dessert. But these

we must march beside it with patient,
CHEEKY hearts. Is it strange that even
the moss covered Car rllsle town, of which
the Last Minstrel sang, and where the
Scottish Mary tnrrfed IN her flight from
the cousin queen, is now chiefly remar-

The writer has -re-discovered the fine
relish of simpl plicity; she sees that we
have rnarred the rich flavor of desert
fruit by Disgusting it as pastry, and in
our anxiety to get "better bread tInn
