could give such lesson in cookery and
domestic economy combined as l think
those six ladies were taught yesterday

Rudmanu make Potage y Ecossats

splendid nutritious pottage composed
of barley, oatmeal, celery, onion, carrot,
turnip, water, Of course, aud seasoning,

had learned not only how to manipulate
these pretty and delicious dishes, bat
they had also seen the dinner cooked in
the manner that it should be, so that the
fish was ready to serve at the moment
that soup was over, and the entrees,
roast enLremets, aud dessert, each done

knew the why and wherefore of every

dinner, for it was interesting as play,

Booths and to Niblo's to gaze at the
wonders of the new ballets there, and
who sit with their Opera-glasses glued to
