Even with the most carefully pre-

One more statement and the reader

way OF arriving at safe basis of
| operations for the kitchen labors, upon
which the comfort OF the VIII lie house
depends
One OF the New York leading dailies
has been making signed articles of in
t-rest 10 women "A weekly feature, and
even proposing the republication III
book form. Heaven save the unhappy
readers If all the subjects touched were
treated as specifically and incol rectly
is cookery has been!
The writer has even had the courage
TO alter my own recipes after intery .ew-
ing me tn secure them. And recently
she favored me with IA description OF
her method of work Under half "A

little, sends an article derived (pJ
from a California publication 10
one In the eastern states, and zee

If one of her literary friends is good
natured enough 70 give her an opening
where some special work has been ac-
ceptei reg ularly and paid for fairly.
this friend TO herself straightway COLI
cocts matter of similar import from heT
various sources Of information, sends it
IN at a low rate, using as lever the
name OF the daily she writes for, and
having once secured fOofhold con-
tILues to put in so much matter ahead,
under her several names, that she some
mes has as many as forty columns in
type covering the field OF women's
work. and OF course shutting out the
woIk of other writer's.
amout Of work is simple enough. She
Is only copylst. and every co umn she
''iIdaTts' takes just SO much bread
away from women who depend upon
their honest work for ally sustenance.
Let our readers ponder upon this sub
ject. They Will wonder less that so
many failures attend trials of formulas
they find in papers conducted by editors
not personally conversant with special
lines of work, particularly of women's
work.
In conclusion, a word to wise women:
II any ore working after my own
signed formulas has failed to meet with
entire success | shall be glad to receive
a detailed account of the entire matter
and do my best to see where lies e
occasion of defeat. for | never publish
a recipe until | know Just what result
1t will produce when worked out eXactl,
according TO directions. OF course, Il
any change OF any Kind is made, or
there Is any typographical error, am
not responsible, and can only point out
the correct way of work.
