keeping. There are many short cuts in every profession-easy ways of doing things-and Mrs. Wilson, master of them all, is eminently qualified to teach her sisters During her stay in Birmingham she will give the benefit of her vast ex- perience to the women of Birmingham, every bit of valuable experience tucked away in her brain.
 Everybody knows that Mrs. Betty Lyles Wilson has often been called on for all sorts of delicious dishes for big occasions, for great people for distant countries and places because she has al- ways been able to answer the demands made upon her with delectable, beautiful dishes fit for the tables of the gods and she never makes failure-a word that has been eliminated entirely from her vocabulary. In spite of her fame. how ever, Mrs. Wilson, with an understanding that has been born of life experience, has reserved the warmest corner of her heart and devotes her dearest thought for the women of the house-the home makers. One of her wonderful lectures will be de- voted largely to what Mrs. Wilson calls the Tricks of the Trade'-little things simple and easily learned, from her ev- ery-day experience. but which are great time and labor savers, that are most val uable to know. Short cuts to economy will, as matter of fact, prove one of the chief values of Mrs. Wilson's instructive talks. The happy, care-free dollar that fits so nimbly from the hands of the housewife marketer will be taught a greater dignity and leased into lingering propensities. She will, lead into the fairy land of remnant cooking; she will lift fo her audiences the curtain that shields the mysteries of cheap and wholesome marketing. And every day she will fur nish recipes that are responsible for the upbuilding of her own reputation.
 Recipes Free to All
 Mrs. Wilson's recipes will be at the command of everyone who attends the demonstration. That has been arranged for by The Age-Herald. Furthermore, she will gladly and at any time furnish upon request recipes for the making of any desired dish. She will demon strate every recipe and the women of Birmingham will be able to see, while they listen to her lecture, the actual making, mixing and cooking of every delicacy.
