AFTER A TWO WEEKS DEPRESSION,
PUZZLE. CIRCLE WILL ENJOY ENIGMA

Do you think that you will be too
busy testing all those deIectable dishes
Mrs. Helen Armstrong prepared for you
last week to turn your attention a wee
bit TO the rearrangement Of furniture
and to giving a thought or two to the
replenishing of a somewhat depleted
stock?
Somehow or other I have a most posi-
tive intuition that the depression of the
Puzzle Circle has made from solving
enigmas during the past two weeks will
prove to them on their return recrea-
ton not without value in sharpening their
wits
Too much work along any one line
becomes tiresome. l thought you might
like a debate for a change, so we dis
cussed for a week the question of the
advisa bility of unveiling Kris Kringle in
the eyes of our children, and hundreds
OF enthusiastic Herald readers attested
their pleasure by submitting arguments
on the question given.
And all last week we spent at the
Arcade together, in attendance upon The
Washington Herald's free cooking school,
which proved the biggest opportunity
ever given Washington hOme-makers; a
most instructive week, and a most profit
able one.
So here we come back again, as happy
as larks. our minds stuffed to the brim
with the greediest possible ideas of the
good things we will make. according to
Mrs Armstrong; directions, but ready
just the same to come out of the kitchen
long enough TO consider other parts of
the house.

couples go TO housekeeping, and old ones
buy new pieces of furniture to fill long
vacant corners

OF WINNERS IN
HERALD BAKING CONTEST

AS a climax of The Washington Herald's
Free Cooking School which has been in
session all week at the Arcade, a baking
contest was held yesterday, handsome
prizes being awarded in each division.
Two hundred and sixty-one entries were
made, and I confess that l never saw
such an array of delectable edibles in all
my life, and Mrs. Armstrong declared
that she herself had never seen more
beautiful display than that made by
| Washington women.
Entries were each numbered and judged
entirely by number, Mrs. Helen Arm
strong being the judge.
1t was no easy task for her, yet she
went about 1t with careful decision, test
ing everything before her as he went
| from cake 10 cake, or pie to pie.
Undoubtedly The Washington Herald s
Free Cooking School proved a tremen-
dous success, as was attested again by
the big crowd that heard Mrs. Armstrong s
last lecture yesterday afternoon, after
the prize awards had been made.
What Did You Think of Cooking
school:
And now that it is all over, want
each woman who attended The Washing
ton Herald's Free Cooking School to tell
how much she was helped in her work
Of home-making by the week with Mrs.
Armstrong
The letters need not be long, but I
should like them to contain a sincere eX-
preston of your real opinion of The
Washington Herald's Cooking School
that closed yesterday, and to tell me
what 1t did for you.
I tried to determine this for myself by
watching the big audience in the Arcade
every afternoon last week as hundreds
Of women listened to Mrs. Armstrong;
instructive talk, and by the many en-
thusiastic remarks I heard. but this is
not quite the same as your telling me
directly what the cooking school meant
to you-somet.ing that ] ask you now
to do.
For you must remember that The Wash
ington Herald's big undertaking for you
could not have been the success it was
without your cooperation.
The Washington Herald extends many
thanks to you individually and TO Mr..
Percy 5. Foster. who personally conduct
ed A delightful musical programme every
afternoon; TO Mr. F. II. Kramer for his
decorations Of the big skating ring with
ferns and palms which made the cooking
school seem all the more like a festive
party, and to Messrs. Dulin & Martin
for the croCkery furnished by them in the
culinary demonstrations.
Everybody Helped in Success.
In fact, it would seem that everybody
was determined to make the week one
grand success. for, as Mrs. Armstrong
expressed 1t. there was not a single hitch
anywhere at any time.
The wonderful array of baked edibles
was turned over TO Mrs. w. F. Andrews
and her committee at the close Of the
prize awards. and were sold by them for
the benefit OF the Infants and Children
Dispensary in Southwest Washington,
and everybody seemed as eager to buy
cake or pie or batch of doughnuts as they
had been to bake them, both because IL
made one irresistibly hungry just TO look
at them and because Of the splendid
cause for which the proceeds of the sale
were used. J. G. NJ.
