MISS EMMA HANkO.
 Y. NJ. c. A. hall proved all too small for the attendance there on Monday afternoon on the first day of The Bulletins free cooking school for the women of Norwich. When Miss Elm white dress and long white cooking apron, appeared on the platform at the scheduled hour of 2.30 to open the lecture demonstrations, there was hardly space in the hall to crowd in another woman, but still they kept coming. Women sat on the edge of the platform, stood in the aisles, and behind the last row of seats all around the hall, stood in the gallery and on the gallery stairs. Many left but many stood through the entire lecture, and all breathed sigh of satisfaction when Miss Hanko was able to an nounce before the lecture had gone along a great ways that arrangements had been made to transfer the course to Olympic hall on Water street for the rest of the week, and that the Tuesday afternoon demonstration and lecture and all subsequent ones would be given there.
 The women came early Monday. ar irving in time to enjoy the excellent Victrola programme given by courtesy of the Plaut- Gladden. company. Out side evidences of the inside crowd in the hall were seen in the line of wo- men that early Wended it's way to | the. hall. while line of automobiles also stood waiting at the Church Street entrance. When it was seen that the seats for 400 people had been l filled and that there were 200 more women standing in the hall, efforts to find another place. were at once start ed. J. B. Shannon was seen about se- curing Olympic hall. He expressed his own personal interest in the cook school ho -a11 hot if prove to all who attended and said 1 he was glad that Olympic hall was available so that all the women who | wanted to attend the school could be 1 comfortably accommodated for the 1 rest of the week. The hall will be l opened at 1.30 and the lesson begin at 1 2.30 each afternoon.
 The audience at this initial session ! Of The Bulletin Cooking School was a representative one, including many 1 types of houselzeepers and cooks, l Many well known club women of Nor 1 Wlch who have signiffed their intention Of lending their support to this propo- | sition were present to hear Miss Han | ko Domestic science teachers and pu- l pIlS, and many women who are known 1 to be exceptionally good cooks, were also seen in the audience. It is just as true in the n alter of cooking as in all | other branches of learning. that the 1 woman who knows the most is always thS ohe who IS most anxious to learn more. All of these women acknowI- l edge that they profited much by Miss 1 Hanko's lecture and her cookery dem onstratIon yesterday afternoon. They | took home with them some new recipes and ideas that they will work out for the good of the home folks
 Miss Hanko's' Lecture.
 Miss Hanko lectured Monday on the
 First Principles of Cookery" and proved beyond doubt the value of knowing the fundamentals upon which the science of cookery is built She l said that with this knowledge and the use of intelligence in applying these principles, every woman ought to be a l good cook. Miss Hanko was thorough 1 ly practical in everything she said and did She is a lecturer and cook par l excellence of whom Pratt Institute her alma mater may well be proud 1 but she is more than this-she is a 1 practical housekeeper, sympathetically and inte- igently interested in every i day housekeeping problems, and her instruction here will no doubt be of in estinable benefit to every woman who attends the course of. lectures and
 cookery demonstrations.
 | Is Fine Cook.
 Miss Hanko's cookery demonstration 1 proved to be a most delightful one 1 from more than one point of view l The guests of the school were not only 1 much pleased with the opportunity of | watching such an unusually fine cook ! as Miss Hanko undoubtedly is but found even greater pleasure, perhaps, in eating the delicious foods she cook ed. She made a very fine white cake | with boiled icing, and in it's manufac- | ture demonstrated that cake baking l need not be such an expensive opera ! tion as it is sometimes supposed She ] makes cakes without butter. and says | that she is quite willing to put these
 beside the richest butter cake any of l her audience can make, and let the
 most critical judge choose between
 them. Miss Hanl1o made an omelet
 which was a severe test of her cookery skill. Those who have tried such a l performance watched her with breath less interest as she handled the slip pery mass of eggs without the least
 difficulty or chance of mishap One of
 the chief charms of watching Miss i Hanko is that she does everything so i easily and deftly and is always so per fectly sure of results. She also made
 a very fine salad which she called AL
 exander Salad. When asked where this
 dish got it's name, she said she suppos- I ed it was named for Alexander the + Great, because it is a great salad Note 1 books and pencils were busy all the i afternoon.
 Gave Away Souvenirs.
 Livery one Wno attend the cooking I school yesterday afternoon went home the happy possessor of a little cook l book which contained number of ] Miss Hankos recipes One member of I her audience was a little happier than | the rest by reason of the fact that Miss Hanko had given her a WonQer- fully beautiful decorated cake One of these cakes will be given away ev- 1 cry afternoon during the continuance 1 of The Bulletin Cooking School
