COOKING AND CASTLE BUILDING" is the
title of handsome volume just published
by James r. osgood & Company, Boston,
which deserves more than passing notice.
The attempt Of the writer Mrs. E. P.
Ewing, to present in the form OF story
great deal Of useful information upon the
best methods of preparing food, has, we
think, been eminently successful.
Unlike any other cookbook we have seen
the volume before us is devoted to the con-
sideratioA Of those articles which constitute
our daily diet The chapters on bread
making are alone worth the price Of the
book. While the directions for making
coffee, to a lover OF that delicious beverage
would no doubt be priced still more highly
While as a cookbook, Cooking and Cas-
tle-Building" seems to US OF great value,
still its underlying sentiments, strike us as
being of still greater Importance. House
work and kitchen work are, in these pages
lifted out Of an atmosphere of drudgery
and disgrace into refined, cultured society
Cookery is represented as one OF the fne
arts, well worthy the careful study Of the
most delicate, high.minded women.
We heartily commend the book and wish
a copy could be placed in the hands Of
every young woman in the county For
sale by all booksellers. Sent by publisher on
receipt Of price-one dollar.
