of course expects the world
outside to hail the Philadelphia
Cookbook, especially with
Mrs. Rorer's name on the title
page; for isn't the book the
school in print? and isn't the
school the product and central
Exchange of Philadelphia cook
ery' AS for the city itself there
isn't domestic bookshelf in it
too full to make room for Mrs.
Rorer's book.
Not every cook in the city
has the good fortune to test
and perfect her art in the cook
ing school. The book is the
school. But, it seems, we owe
the publication in part to the
scholars themselves. Mrs. Ror-
er says; Gan urgent call comes
from my pupils to put into per-
manent form the numerous
well-tried and valuable recipes
collected and revised during
the six successful seasons
of the Philadelphia Cooking
School, Which appears to us
the most effectual commenda-
ton the book could possibly
have. AS much as to say: I'VE
want the book because we
know what is in it.
Therefore every housekeep-
er wants it, who doesn't know
what is in it.
Any book got.-By the way
do you know our monthly,
Book News? 1t not only keeps
you informed about books as
they come from the press, but
helps you to get them wher-
ever you are almost the same
as if you were in the most lib
eral bookstore you know of.

Southeast from the center.
Very open-lace canvas the

half-wide stripes of mohair bou
Gle and lace-canvas began the
season at SI.25; now 65c; AZ
inch; two browns, three woods,
navy-blue, bottle-green and
cream.
Why do we say it has drop
ped from SI.25? why not con
tent with giving the present
price?
Because the price at which it
begun the season indicates the
fineness and style. The price
is many words in a fgure-a
figure of speech indeed-a fig
ure full of speech.

matter it drops. There isn't
any why in the stuff.
