MluuedpOllS, anu Cn6y respond so g6nef-
ously to my quest for the best recipes,
I shall be compelled soon to drop this
in my part and devote my entire time to
judging recipes,' said jovial May Irwin
today, as she turned over the last one
Of batch Of nearly 800 recipes entered
in T e j o ur n a II 8 cooking contest.
Only a. few days were allowed for en-
trance into the contest and the flood Of
answers nearly submerged the cooking
contest editor. And the experienced eve
Of Miss Irwin told her that every one
would make Il dish fit for king, too.
The recipes were turned over to Miss
Irwin last evening. She took the batch
to the Metropolitan and read a half
hundred between the acts of "Mrs.
Black Is Back" and after the perform
ance she called her cook Sarah to her
aid and the two worked until the faith
full Sarah looked up to find Miss Irwin,
her head on her arms, fast asleep on pile
Of over score Of Welch rarebit orders
that certainly would have produced
| awful dreams had not the vigilant Sarah
hustled Miss Irwin off to bed.
:, Some Broken Hearts.
1T fear there will be lot of broken
hearts, because I know from expert
ence that there is not woman who
will not swear that her recipe is far and
away the best one possible,' said Miss
Irwin. "To tell the truth, I fear that
T erred in not calling the whole contest
off, there were SO many ties. But I knew
this would be a greater disappointment,
SO I made these choices and sincerely
hope that the. hundreds Of others will
I admit ri ght here that there ere
were scores of other recipes in
each class that would produce excel
lent dishes. Tell the contestants who
were not awarded prizes to bear with
me, for / certainly did my utmost tc
choose the best and anyone who saw the
extent Of the work that was put before
me cannot but say Amen to this.

Of robbing their wives cook books.

Of the usual was the box of excellen
fudge that accompanied the formula O:

had ever tasted. -
