COOKING SCHOOL
OPENS MONDAY
Many Actual and Prospective House
Wives Of Hattiesburg Planning
to Attend.

The News Cooking School is to be
informal. All attendants will be in
vited to ask questions which Edith l..
Cliff promises to answer to the best
of her ability. 1t is advisable to have
questions confined to the subject und-
er consideration at the time. This
will prevent confusion and repetition.
BY examining the Cooking School
program you will find what menus
are to be discussed each day. Be pre-
pared to ask questions regarding
these particular dishes. In this way
most of the problems that have been
bothering you will be solved during
the course of the week,
Our Cooking School is to be practi-
cal above all else. The dishes which
Miss Cliff is to demonstrate are with
in the reach of all. Some of them
are complex enough to break the
monotony which sometimes sur
rounds everyday cooking which fact
will be appreciated by the housewife
who wishes to keep out Of a culinary
routine.
Have you ever asked yourself any
of these questions? Perhaps not, but
maybe you have heard others ask
! them-in vain:
1. Why don't my biscuits brown
nicely on top?
2. What makes croquettes break
open?
8. How can cook bacon and avoid
| the smell?
| What is the reason that dough
nuts soak fat?
5. Why is one roast juicy and an
other dry when the meat before cook
ing is equally choice?
G. Why does cake fall while bak
ing?
7. What will prevent mayaonnaise
from separating?
8. Why is pie crust sometimes
tough?
o. How can | keep the juice from
cooking out of fruit pies?
10. What makes meringue sticky
and thin instead of firm and light?
