practical, cOmmen-sense ideas in re-
gard to all household questions and
her easy and entertaining manner
of expressing herself, make a strong
appeal TO Ardmore housewives. Many
women are attending every day and
are eXtravagant in their praises of the
lecturer and her methods and especial
ly of her good cooking. The many en-
ticing dishes she prepares every after
noon are most delightful.
Ardmore housewives are glad indeed
to learn from Miss Peet how to cook
good things for their families. Her
recipes are very popular and those
which are being published in the Ard
moreite each afternoon are eagerly
read. Many Ardmore housewives have
been so enthused by Miss Peet's ideas
in regard to cookery and the success
which she attains every time she
cooks, that they have been trying her
methods and recipes for themselves
and have been so delighted with their
success that some of them have
brought samples of their cooking to
show to Miss Peet Women are filling
note books with the helpful hints Miss
Peet gives to them, copying the in
structive charts she has placed in the
hall and explains from day to day, as
well as the recipes she writes upon
her blackboard.
Yesterday Miss Peet showed her
class how to make good bread, and
this is the sort of practical informa-
tion housekeepers are most eager to
obtain. In her lesson on bread making
as in all her other cookery lessons,
whether it be merely how to fry good
potatoes or to make a fine cake, Miss
Peet goes into details and explains ev-
cry step simply and fully.
Her French fried potatoes prepared
in her cookery lesson yesterday were
very fine and another demonstration
of Miss Poets favorite frying method,
about which she is quite enthusiastic
and is enthusing her classes in Rob
ison Opera House. She made a fine
salad and garnished it most attrac-
lively.
