NEW COOK BOOK.

Cookery Craft" as practiced in
1894 by the women of the South
church, st. Johnsbury, VT, is the
complete title of the new cook book
which has just been issued by the
ladies of the South church, and which
will be the leading feature of their
Christmas sale tonight. This book
contains nearly 200 pages of recipes,
distributed in 25 departments. Many
of the recipes are signed by the
ladies who contributed them, some
of them being furnished by those
living elsewhere, who were former
members of the church. 1t is one OF
the most complete books of it's kind
ever issued, and superior to the larger
books that contain so many useless
recipes. The book was edited by
Mrs. c. H. Merrill, and the gener al
arrangement of the whole is very
good. A new half-tone cut of the
South church appears as the frontis-
piece, from picture taken by Prof.
Bracket. At the head Of each de-
partment is a cute sketch appro-
pirate to the contents of the depart
ment. These were drawn by Miss
Martha E. Ross. Each department
was compiled by a different lady,
whose name appears under the de-
partment. One of the brightest
features of this attractive book are
the apt quotations scattered all
through the work. While there has
been no attempt at any order in ar
ranging these they fit in splendidly
in every case.
styles to suit the taste and pocket
book of the purchaser. The best are
bound in white enamel with gold
lettering. Another style is a green
cloth with red letters. The third
style is bound in boards. AS the
book was printed at the CALEDoNIAN
office we are a little modest about
calling attention to its typographical
appearance. We will let others be
the judges. We are confident that
Cookery Craft will have big sale a
the sociable at the South church this
evening and through the holidays.
The ladies of the South church are to
be econgra tulated upon their enterprise
and they ought to be handsomely
rewarded by a large sale of the book.
The price of the work will be for
board covers rs cents, for green cloth
81. and for white lettered in gold
81 Nail orders may be sent to
Mrs. c. H. Merrill, adding 10 cents
for postage. After the sale this even
ing, copies may be procured at E. &
T. Fairbanks dry goods store and
Harry H. Carr's.

ing. The lady solOiSts were MISS
Helen NJ Young, soprano, and Miss
Harriet Whiting, contralto. Both
sang acceptably and the trios with
Mr.. Babcock were a delightful
feature of varied programme.

A FINE STORE.

Every little while we hear of some
one going to Boston or sending there
for goods instead of patronizing our
local merchants. No one need to go
to the city hereafter for any thing in
the line of silverware or jewelry, for
Mr.. Spencer has brought the finest
things from the city here; and in
addition to this he has them beauti-
fully arranged in a very handsome
store. The fittings in his new store
in the Citizens Bank block are the
finest ever seen in this town and are
valued at $2500. There are eight
wall cases and four show cases fin
ished in mahogany and plate glass.
The wall cases have many conven-
fences for the statesmen that must be
seen to be appreciated. In this store
Mr.. Spencer has artistically displayed
$4,000 worth of goods in his line.
Here are many choice pieces of ster-
ling silver and sets of tableware,
gold and silver watches of both
American and foreign make, jewelry
adorned with the precious stones,
and many other beautiful things.
Mr.. Spencer has added several lines
of goods which will please his
customers. These are fancy china,
lamps and pictures. All these lines
are very complete and have been
added just in time for the holiday
trade, The store is well lighted with
electricity and is without question
the largest jewelry store in New Eng
land outside the big cities.
