1t vas found that shipments Of red

GREET COOK WITH OPEN ARMS
Leaves Kitchen at End of Week
Much Sadder and Wiser
FIRST PRIZE


Dear Aunt Laurie:
As S YOU wish me to, 1 will try to
tell you about our week without
a cook, but you must promise
not to laugh. 1t may seem funny to
you, but l am still very sensitive about
it.
Our cooks mother became i'll one
very hot week last summer, and Emma
decided that she must go home. Nam
ma was away in the East visiting some
friends. and so 1t fell to me to prepare
the meals for my father and big
brother
I thought l was going to have a reg
ular lark, for was sure 1 would make
much better cook than Emma; and
could have anything 1 liked. 1 read
all our cook books, skipping the parts
about carbohydrates and oxygen and
other dull things.
In one of the cook books 1 found
colored picture of a dish called AN
gelica Souffle," and II looked fine. L
imagined it was a dish of ice cream
with lady fingers around the sides,
strawberries stacked up between the
lady fingers and whipped cream and a
cherry on top. (That is not what it
really was just what 1 thoughD. 1
decided to try it for dinner that night,
although the recipe was not very en-
cOuraSlnR, as 1t calleu Tor many InlnBS
of which had never heard. However,
l ordered them all. The grocer's boy
smiled a good deal when he was taking
the order.
Wen, 1t was terrible. 1t tasted like
nothing which can be described. Papa
and Will just roared- when they heard
about it, and that made, things worse
We took our dinner at a hotel that
night.
Next day nothing daunted, I at
tempted some candy and cake. Well,
we had a dinner at home that night.
Our menu consisted of mush (the cake),
stale cake with icing of my candy,
muddy coffee and black toast.
After this, was quite crushed, and
fell back upon the things l knew how
to make. For the remainder of the
week, we poor unfortunates existed
upon coffee, toast and grape-nuts for
breakfast, bread -and-butter sandwiches
and sardines for luncheon, and cheese,
bakery cookies, canned salmon ana
coffee for dinner.
When Emma came back at the END
of the week. she was heartily well
coined, and l left the kitchen consid-
erably sadder and wiser With my best
love to you, Aunt Laurie, am,

KITTY STEALS THE MEAT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A heavy step was heard on the porch
and next the door bell rang. Little
eight-year old Virginia ran to answer.
us this little Miss Richards" tel
egram-boy addressed her.
mo, l am Virginia Clanton, I'll
take it to Mrs. Richards"
Mrs. Richards was soon at the door
to get the telegram. She came back
and told virginia she would have to
leave on the 3:45 train to meet her
husband. who was back from Mexico.
but would be back in week If pos
sible.
Virginia was disappointed. She said
not a word but went upstairs and told
Lucille, her tWelve-year-old sister.
Tears were soon streaming down their
faces. "Oh, we will be so lonesome with
cook gone and papa in the mines and
mother in the office"
1t was hardly any time until five
o'clock, when first of all they peeled
the potatoes, which 1 must confess
were peeled very thick. All the dinner
went we'll until they came to the meat.
1t was fried too fast and didn't have
any salt on it. Mother was home at
six. They poured out their troubles to
her but she cheered them with kind
words. She agreed to get the break

cook returned. and they would get as
much of the dinner at night as they
could. Tuesday night they decided to
have hash croquettes, mashed potatoes,
salad. corn and dessert. But that
seemed to be their unlucky day. Kit
ty stole in the pantry and had the
meat for her dinner. They managed to
get along without them when 10! and
behold the potatoes burned too much
to be used. Such sore distress. More
had to he cooked which made dinner
much later. When Lucille was washing
dishes she broke the best vegetable
dishes, but next day things took a
turn, everything was splendid. All
went we'll the rest of the week with
one exception, and that was forgetting
to salt a stew.

myself. / was nearly an hour getting
it ready to raise. 1t was pretty long
raising, but it finally did. 1 got 1t
baked, but I did not get quite enough
salt in it, but for that my light bis
cults were good. So was the first bak-
ing of bread. But the next would
hardly raise. I guess it was too cold.
Then the oven was not hot enough, SO
it soured The dogs had plenty OF
bread, but they did not seem to care.
One morning papa fried pancakes;
He was afraid to let me for fear l
might burn them, which surely would
have done. His pancakes were good.
He very seldom mikes anything that
is not good.
One time I was cooking onions. 1
Just quartered them and cooked them
in a little water Then 1 dressed them
with butter, salt and pepper. l kept
tasting them, but 1 could not taste any
salt on them. When dinner time came

CAKE BURNS TO A CRISP
WHILE PLAYING BASEBALL
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
TTN HE cook vent on her vacation for
a week and 1 was alone and had
Il to do my own cooking.
Yesterday 1 thought I would try my
experience in making cake, so 1 got
my dough ready and put it in the
oven. 1 sat in the hot kitchen about
fifteen minutes, then I heard my two
friends calling me, 50 I went out to
play baseball. When I came back
expected to have nice cake just ready
to take out of the oven But when
started to open the oven / saw the
cake was all bNrned.
But l did not, give up all hope, so
the next time I decided to make
cherry pie. I got the pie ready and
put it in the oven. I had not had ex-
perience with one before, so did not
realize how long it took to cook them.
I went out to feed my pets, but de-
cided not to stay long, for I did not
want my pie burned. fed and petted
my chickens and pigeons, but did not
stay long this times I scampered IN
the house to see how my pie looked.
This time when I opened the oven 1t
looked just fine, so I cut it up and
decided to eat the whole thing myself
for dinner.
First for dinner I had mashed pota-
toes. which 1 had cooked and had
turned out well; then had cold baked
beans; then I started to eat my PIE.
The cherries were all sour and were
not done, so could not eat II.
1 believe that is what l got for want
ing to eat it all myself.
