Bx JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

l will meet every reader of The Her
AIDS Page for Every Woman at the Ar
cade this afternoon at 2:3O-for the open
ing of The Washington Herald,s Free
Cooking School.
At least will be there.
Will you?
would not miss a lecture that Mrs.
Helen Armstrong is to give for twice the
s4GO that is to be given Herald readers
this week in splendid practical prizes, for
she knows more about food and its prep
aration and can give more information in
one lecture than 1 could gather anywhere
else in year.
Mrs Armstrong is not a demonstrator
in the ordinary sense of the word. Her
primary aim in Iecturing is to instruct
housewives in all that pertains to the Sc
lection and preparation of food can
promise that you will receive a fund of
information this week that will be inval-
liable to use in your work of running
home.
Al the end of the school course a spe-
cial lecture and baking contest will cli-
max the week. In this contest women
attending the lectures will receive prizes
amounting to $500 for the best baked ar
ticles submitted in the contest. The first
of these prizes is a $50 gas range. The
others will be announced either to-mor-
row or Wednesday, and full descrip-
ton of each will be given.
The Baking Contest.
All articles submitted in The Washing
ton Herald baking contest in the Ar
cade will be sold. after the prize awards
have been made, for the benefit of the
Infant and Children's Dispensary in
Southwest Washington.
Mrs E W. Andrews, president of the
Federation of Women's Clubs and of the
dispensary, has appointed a committee
of ladies who are interested in this
splendid work. who. with her, will take
charge of the sale of the cakes, bread
pies. &c, entered in the baking contest.
Here is a labor of love with a profit
in view Some one must win the prizes
and the proceeds will be given the In
fants and Children'S Dispensary, placing
its advantages within the reach of hum
dreds of little lives which could not
otherwise have them.
This is an added feature of the enter
prise that makes The Washington Herald
desire the cooking school to be an un-
qualified success.
Then it is for their own sakes and the
added interest in the little children whose
welfare the dispensary mas so close to
heart that 1 am doubly desirous of meet
ing every reader of The Heralds Page
for Every Woman at Mrs. Armstrong; S
first lecture, which will begin in the Ar
cade this afternoon promptly at 2:3O
o'clock.
Week Open for Cooking School.
There is no puzzle to solve. no debate
to enter this week-just a clear six days
left open for the Puzzle Circle and all
the other women of Washington to hear
Mrs. Armstrong and see her illustrate
her remarkable lectures on culinary art
There are throughout the city of Wash
ingtOn many card clubs, pleasure clubs,
and other social bodies where an interest
IN the cooking school might be aroused.
If you are member of one of them,
use your influence to assure the attend
ance of other members, or of the club in
q body.
Every woman owes it to herself to be
able to cook well; to be able to differen-
tiate between the right and the wrong
way Of preparing food stuffs and table
condiments in an appetIzing and pleasing
style. This is the keynote of the cooking
school lectures which are to be delivered
for the benefit of the women of Wash
ington by Mrs. Helen Armstrong, through
the courtesy of The Washington Herald
