lllldNSl1llld NOoh-DOoh, D(
Mrs. S. T. Rorer, principal of
thePhiladelphiaC CookingSchool;
5SI pages, bound in enameled
cloth; Sl.o5, by mail, SI.4o.
The city,whose people wher-
ever they so never tire of com
pairing whatever viands the for
tune of travel sets before them
with Philadelphia cookery, of
course expects theworldoutside.
to hail the Philadelphia Cook
Book, especially with Mrs, Ro-
rcrs name on the title page; for
isn't the book the school in
print?o and isn't the school the
product and central Exchange
of Philadelphia cookeryo As
for the city itself there isn't a
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 cooking
school. The book is the school.
But, it seems, we owe the publ
cation in part to the scholars
themselves. Mrs. Rorer says:
AN urgent call comes from my
pupils to put into permanent
form the numerous well-tried
and valuable recipes collected
and revised during the six sue
cesful seasons of the Philadel-
ph!a Cooking School, Which
appears is us the most ehectual
commentator the book could
possibly have. AS much as to
say: I'VE want the book be
cause we know what is in it.
Therefore everyh yhousekeeper
wants it, who doesn't know what
is in it.
Any book got.-By the way
do you know our monthly, Book
NEWso 1t not only keeps you
informed about books as they
come from the press, but helps
you to get them wherever you
are almost the same as if you
were in the most liberal book
store you know of. 25c a year;
Scamonth-andn nobody guesses
its value-the price is mislead-

West TrAnsept.
Lace canvas, with small dag
onal checks or crosswisc stripes
with something like spider-web
in between, began the season at
one dollar a yard; now 37Hc;
II inch; cream, black, brown,
navey-blue, five tans and ecrus.
Crape-cloth, like albatross but
heavier, shadowy ripples athwart

sivc figure, the stuff itself sub

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 Csc; 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
tineness and style. The price
is many words in a fgure-a
figure of speech indeed-a fig
ure full of speech.
