ANOTHER PRACTICAL COOKING
LESSON

The cooking division of the D. S.
girls took their second observation
lesson Friday, Feb. IL, when Mrs. H.
D. Phillips kindly offered her kitchen
for that purpose. The members of the
class were met at the door by the
hostess and then ushered into the
kitchen where we watched the process
of making a batch of cream cookies.
After the cookies were done. and of
course, sampled, one member of the

very successful We then left the
hostess with the thought that if any
one in Barton wanted to know about
Mrs. Phillips's cooking, we could GER
tainly give her good recommendation.
