THE wife OF one Of the foreign am

of friends recently in her beautiful
home in Washington, ID. c." accord
ing to Miss Clift. Her dinners were
noted for the originality In serving

Mrs Blanks one special pride was
ret Of imported wine goblets OF unique
pattern and priceless value. After the
third course, the wine was served In
the famous goblets. The guest OF

loud in his praise OF the wines as well
as the food, in his enthusiasm acci-

power to make her guests feel at ease.
To be able to excel in entertaining
in ones home, to serve tasty, delicious,
appetizing dishes to your guests to
make the regular meal in your home
time of happiness to be lorged for,
is the ambition of every true house
wife. She realizes, too, that upon good
cooking depends the health, strength
and vigor of her husband and children
and the woman who prepares appetiz-
ing and wholesome foods keeps her
family well and does away with the
necessity of a doctor to a great eX
tent. Such woman, once she has
mastered the science Of cooking, finds
cooking, or the experimenting of it,
not only satisfying, but a downright
pleasure
Some Of the prominent business men
of Tulsa have already commented fa-
vorably on the energy and enterprise
of the World in securing the services
of such a noted cooking authority as
Miss Cliff. They have even gone far
ther and promised that their homes
would be represented at the scientific
Cooking Lectures and Demonstrations
next week. The interest that our best
citizens are evincing in this cooking
session by promising that their wives
and daughters will take advantage OF
this wonderful opportunity, reminds
us of the now celebrated quotation
from the writings Of Samuel johnson,
"a man seldom thinks with more ear
nestness Of anything he does than of
his dinner"
