Hon TO Meet Objections Perplexinp.

In reviewing the substance Of these rep
resentative letters from practical house
mothers-all women of more than average
intelligence and each capable Of expressing
her meaning forcibly-I am staggered how
to meet all the objections against the gen.

were ready to believe. would revolutionize
culinary methods as now practiced in our
kitchens.
In replying TO the first letter, have a
word TO say in defense Of the paper bag
as rightly handled. II should not turn
black nor should It have a strong taste OF
burnt paper. II the heat Of the oven be
graded carefully by a Thermometer and
the bags be properly creased they should
retain their color and not scorch. OF the

now is that Nellie c." has apparently put

You have told US dozen times to call
upon you in the time Of culinary trouble,
and believe you are sincere In what you
say. I have never known you to turn a
deaf ear to the appeal OF an inexperienced
or perplexed housekeeper.
ITO begin at the beginning Of my trouble
was in New York last winter, and at
tended a series Of lectures upon paper bag
cookery. We were told that if We would
throw away our old pots and pans and ket-
ties. and use paper bags instead. there
would be no more washing of dishes, no
bills for new utensils, no smell Of cooking
in the halls, no pot closet TO clean and to
keep in order, etc. According to the lee
turer, our kitchens would look like libra
ries, with the shelves now taken up by tins
and enamel ware and all that occupied by
books and magazines. All Of which we
would have lots Of time to read. No greasy
pots and saucepans stuck away in cor
ners by the last cook, no rust and no clat-
ter. We would sit down to dinner in our
best clothes, for there would be no dish
washing after We had finished eating. All
we would have to do would be to gather
up the used papers and ram them down in
the box intended for the scavenger next
day.
20. it was a first class fairy tale! It
sounded like the millennium!
Now for the plain truth! Like fool.
I packed all my pots, saucepans, and ket-
ties up to the garret. and laid in few
hundreds Sf bags-assorted sizes and num-
bered like so many prize packages. I
spent half day going over them with my
cook. She is a good girl. I ought to say
she was as you will see presently.
Until then she had been willing to learn
anything new, and took real pleasure in try
ing recipes. She did not kick at the
paper bag question, although she looked
mighty sober as explained. So. pro-
