To nature To become an epicurc amid
her wonders" and he added, There is

cook i'm the receipt of compliments from
IN cpictre." Thus the happy bee get
happiness, and the culinary arts Of the

Johnson once said that Elizabeth Car
ter, who translated EpictvtUS, lost no
dignity in being able to makea pudding
her buildings We're - good, and the
Doctor in eating them was 80 grateful.
The pleasure a Garrick gave him was rs
nothing compared to that Of Elizabeth
Carriers pudding, for he secured mt the
actors art, even when he most enjoyed
il, and ranked its claim to dignity with
that of wooden Punch. Hemrlmde
Panscy once remarked that "the in
ventiun Of new dish creates more
pleasure for the human race than the
discovery of star"
Cookery first began to assume dignity
i'm the reign to Charlemagne. The
pheasant was served up with his golden
claws, and the peacock with his magnl-
fiCent tail, while pages in rich llNerleS
and gentle maidenS, brought III the
dishes to place them before gallant ana
chiral-roWS of guests, to the sound OF
music. Then, too, "ladieS, the greatest orn-
amentS of society" were admitted To the
daily feast, from which the old Greeks,
Romans and Franks, excluded them,
and even women of the highest rank
did not think il beneath their dignity TO
work i'm their Kitchens. Even genius
have invented new dishes, and TO this
day in old cookery books you will find
many dainty dish given "a the lnven-
ton Of good Queen Anne, "the Church
of England'S glory" Cookery l. now
becoming a recognized branch OF female
education. In poor households good
cookery means not only much greater
economy i'm cost, but new, wholesome
and most attractive pleasures for home,
and for its inmates improved health
and Con>eqent happiness, and in very
poor household, women are karnlngt to
cook well.
