1t is to the Southern cook, above all,
and, secondly, to the New England
housewife that one must turn to learn
how to make the hood hot breads. In
the South they are served at every
meal. Really delicious cornbread in its
various forms is less often found upon
the average table than is good both for
health and appetite. Wheat is far too
frequently confined to one or two ques-
tionable breads, while graham flour is
apt to be entirely overlooked. The re-
ceipts given here have been collected

peatedly tried, each one proving a sue
