ENJOY THE LUNCHES

Several hundred housewives, as
well as many Of their daughters who
will be housewives of Pine Bluff in
the near future, gathered in Bluff City
Hall yesterday afternoon to hear the
third of the series of interesting and
entertaining lectures being delivered
by Mrs. Vaughn and to see the skill
| full and expert manner in which she
turns out things to eat.
Foods Much Enjoyed.
The domestic science clubs of Pine
Bluff are much interested in Mrs
Vaughn and her work and are assist
ing materially in making The Graphic
Home Economics School rousing
success. The high school teachers
and their pupils are attending the
session and deriving great benefit
from Mrs. Vaughn's instruction. They
are also enjoying to the full the
dainty lunches Mrs. Vaughn serves
each day. Every afternoon as the
ladies enter the hall they are given
tiny paper plates and miniature
spoons and doilies along with leaf
let of Mrs. Vaughn's recipes which is
treasured very highly. These are held
in readiness for the serving of the
appetizing dishes which Mrs. Vaughn
prepares in her cookery demonstra-
ton, and there is always little flut-
ter of pleased anticipation when Miss
Anderson and her assistants start
through the hall with some of these
goods things.
Much Praise for Mrs. Vaughn.
re
enthusiastic from day to day, and
more extravagant in their praise Of
her cooking. The climax of each af-
ternoon's demonstration is reached
when Mrs. Vaughn gives away the
beautiful cakes she makes for this
purpose. There certainly seems at
least to the uninitiated to be some
magic connected with Mrs. Vaughn's
fingers. Skilfully, deftly, without ev-
err a fear of failure she makes and
bakes the most perfect cakes. These
she covers with a smooth, white 1c-
ing that never cracks nor runs. and
then is not satisfied, but one day
trails all over this shining white sur
face a dainty green vine blooming
with pink and white sweet peas and
another day heaps it with a mass of
wonderful roses or sweet faced pam
sizes. Still another day she makes
her cake bloom with purple violets
or beautiful tulips. The flowers al
ways look as if they grew on the
cake, but right before her class Mrs.
Vaughn mixes up sugar and eggs and
a little fruit coloring and puts the
mixture in an ordinary looking cone
made out of paper and then squeezes
out the flowers. The process is al
ways accompanied by many "Ah's"
and "Oh's" of admiration on the part
of the ladies who make up Mrs.
Vaughn's classes.
Cakes are not the only attractive
dishes prepared by Mrs. Vaughn. The
chicken croquettes she made yester-
day out of the chicken left over from
Tuesday were just as pretty as they
were good, and tasted just as good as
they looked. The whole subject or
garnishng foods and making them at
tractive has received Mrs. Vaughn's
attention from day to day and she Is
demonstrating that this is not by any
means an unimportant subject but
one worthy of the attention OF the best
cooks.
Mrs. Vaughn will follow her lecture
on the subject of Food" with one OF
"Digestion and Assimilation" this
afternoon and in her cookery demon
stration will prepare
Planked Steak, Frltters,
Stuffed Potatoes,
Green ,Pepper Cases, Rolls,
