with jowl. Jowl and turnip tops in

thing, and that is a boiled hen turkey.

You know her as soon as you step

She has diffused an atmosphere OF
welcome over the entire house.
You feel at home in every room. even
though left alone, says the Cooking

And you are left alone sometimes.
For the perfect hostess doesn't dog
your footsteps every minute.
She knows that you will want to
write letters, and nap and read.
She gives you the house to entertain
yourself in and you can have her, too,
whenever you want her.
She does not wesr you out with too
many entertainments or too many per-
sons.
She doesn't make you feel that
you've got to ''pay for your keep" by
doing chores.
Neither does she refuse to let you
help her, If she sees ii would make you
happiest.
She gives you the impression it's a
