Hellwarth wele the demonstrators and
7 after the minutes were read, they In
structed the club in the art Of cooking
caspanish Kice' and "Apple Cake, the
recipes Of which are given below. While
these were cooking, the following pro-
gram was given. Roll Call, A favorite
recipe; A vocal solo by Mrs. VIII Gardner
and paper by Mrs. Taylor, the subject De-
ing, "Is Home cooking essential to Home
Keeping?" Mrs. Taylor answers this at
the start as follows: "Ihis question was
put recently to three young men,and the
unanimous masculine verdict was en-
phalicslly for the affirmative. what
magic memories cluster around the ola
house at home where our forefathers
dwelt, and especially about the nome
table. The bread mother used to make,
the cookies Of dear old grandmother,
what charms lurked In that cooky jar be-
hind the pantry door! Aunt Libble's
fruit cake, aunt Jennie's cherry pies
cousin Sarah's wine jelly, aunt Chloe's
fried chicken, each had some special
quality that no one else In all the world
could ever impart. What hotel Or
boarding house could ever equal, much
less surpass those home cooked dsinties."'
The subject is discussed in clear pleas
| Ing manner all through this excellent
paper and some we'll chosen verses are
quoted several times Mrs. Taylor
sIeverly related tho experience Of a young
husband who describes the baking OF bic

Thus vein Of humor runs through thu
paper which is crossed with the following
remarks. "Yet we are reluctant to ad
mt that housekeeping depends absolutely
upon home cooking. Cheer, good will
courtesy, make that ipdihnable some
thing we call the home spirit and tn
blessedness of the home atmosphere
And If perchance the tired house mothe
who often wishes the day were twenty
six hours long so she might have som
leisure for rest and reading, should some
times avail herself of ready cooke
things from the bakeshop, let not tn
home boarders grumble for it Is writte
''Man shall not live by bread alone,
not even home made bread" .f.g.
After this paper the lunch, which wa
by this time cooked, was served. Fac
lady had provided herself with plate, cup
fork, spoon and napkin. Hot rolls an,
coffee came first and then the "Spanis
