FOR TIMES WOMEN WHO WANT TO KNOW
What Is Seen In The Shops

Why is it that almost invariably 1t
is the young brides who are mercilessly
scored for their lack OF knowledge in
the cooking line? As a matter of fact,
nowadays the young bride Is prof.
cient in all branches OF the culinary
art. while the more seasoned house,
wife, who. By the way, has probably
not done her own cooking for some
time. is a bad third.
At the department store at Eighth
street and Market space a temporary
cooking school has been tablished on
the fourth floor. Practical demonstra-
tons of just exactly how and what to
cook are given by the teacher in
charge, who is a graduate Of promi-
nent Boston cooking school
The other day pancakes. waffIes.
German potato salad and other dishes

This world was certainly frost
When father was boy.
Just think of all the fun they lost
They had no use for JOY.
They were very gentle lot
And never old what they should not
To make their honored parents hos,
When father was boy.
They had no air guns fer TO shoot
When father was boy.
They had no bugles fer TO toot,
Or any other toy.
And shortly after they were born
They had 70 hike out in the morn
And hoe the taters and the corn
When father was a boy.
They never skunk away from school
When father was a boy.
Of to the good old swimmin' pool.
Or words of slang employ
Then when up tree they'd climb
To carve ,heir initials. twas a crime.
They must have had a hot old time,
When father was a boy.
They never got single cent
When father was d boy.
They didn't know what money meant
And ~ didn't eer annoy
The youth that flourished in that day
If they could never get away
And go a-1ishin' so they say,
When father was a boy.
They never had an earthly chance.
When father was a boy.
To own more than one pair of pants
When father was a boy.
They shined their shoes with axle
grease.
Their trousers never knew a crease.
They had one hick'ry shirt apiece.
When father was i boy.
All they cared TO do was work,
When father was a boy.
They were never known TO shirk,
When father was d boy.

That is. OF course. II YOU believe
