The Savannah morning news., 1901-02-24


as society events are concerned, for Ash
wednesday brought to its appointed close
the season of formal entertaining. Into
Monday and Tuesday. however, a series
of card parties, several teas and cotillon
were crowded. and Washingtons birth
day was celebrated by a number of pic
nice, oyster roasts and out-of- town festiv-
tiles. And now the change TO rest and
quiet has come and a new regime will
be inauguFated for the Lenten season.
Various classes will be started this week,
classes on litera ture, ART and subjects OF
different kinds. Among the most inter-
esting will be the course Of lectures given
by Miss Baclus on kindergarten train
ing. There is much interest also in a
cooking class, which will meet two morn
ings a week beginning Tuesday, at the
Woman's Exchange, and which will be
conducted under the able super
vision of Miss Jennie Cohen.
While everyone cannot hope to become
that Creative genius in the culinary art"
which has been said of one young house,
keeper in Savannah, a proper understand
ing of some simple rules in the cooking
line is sure to be of value 10 any woman,
young or old. and in addition a number
of intricate and elaborate ways of pre-
pairing delieaces will be on the pro-
gramme.
