MEN INVITED TO ATTEND.
Miss Cliff has asked us to emphi
size the fact that any men who ca
find time to attend the lectures al
, earnestly invited to do So In add
ton to learning something they ma
not know about cooking, they may ais
get something of appreciation of tn
difficulties the cooks in their home
have to contend with. The averae
: man is not much of a cook himself, bl
I they are all epicures when it come
0 to sampling. Here is a chance to g
i more just appreciation of the GU
e nary art, as well as to exercise yol
l. sampling proclivities.
Y II is surprising how the averae
:. housewife gets in a rut" in her wa!
= of cooking. She does the same thing
over and over in the same old wa
/ which may be the best way and ms
n not; ordinarily it is not, and in eve1
I case even the most ordinary dishes a.
e prepared by different cooks.
), Doubtless all of us have observe
+ this ourselves. Did you ever find an
i one who could cook quite like yo1
mother? Haven't you observed, wht
e 9 guest at different homes, how Il
s flavors OF the foods differ? Each is
Y rut all her own, and the fact tn
k this is so generally true is eviden'
r that few cooks follow scientific met
j. DDS but that each has developed a sy
If TEN and style" all her own.
