A SERMON TO GIRLS-ON
COOKING.

Cooking classes have been popular
amcng fashionable young ladies of
late years. But there is no cooking
class which quite equals in its oppor,
tunity for excellent information, that
which you may find at home. Pre-
suming that am talking TO girl who
has Just left school, | advise you to
make use Of your leisure in taking
lessons Of your mother There is an
absolutely splendid feeling Of indepen.
dence in knowing how TO make pefectly
light, sweet, substantial bread. Then
try your hand at biscuits, mullins, corn
bread, toast, and all the different forms
into which breadstufis may be blended
Toast seems a simple thing enough,
but il is frequently 30 poorly made
that IL does not deserve the name,
Toast, a necessity of the sick room, is
often u hopeless mastery to women
who bave the vaguest idea OF how il
is evolved from the raw material
After you have mastered the bread
question, try meats and vegetables
Any bright girl who can comprehend
an equation, or formulate syllogism,
can overcome the difficulties which
beset her when learning to cook,
Lucent syrups, golden cake, delicately
Drowned bread, quivering jellies, melt
ing creams, and the whole set Of ma
terial things glorifed, because made
for loves sake and for the good OF
ones dear ones are fit expressions fol
any woman. The charm OF this &C.
complishment lies in the fact, that il
imparts to its owner gratifying sense
of power it bestows on her, too, the
power of blessing and resting those
she loves best. Wherever the cook
goes she takes her welcome along.
One may tire of the sweetest singing
of the loveliest poetry, Of the finest
painting, but OF good cooking, never
But / would be sorry to have you con
tented to be only cook, only do
nestle machine. That is not my mean
ing or intention. Be an artist, poet, in
ventor and wcll-bred woman be the
most and the best that you can, and
add, as o matter of course, ability tC
