Books OF The Month

A Thousand Ways to Please a
Husband, is the title of clever and
attractive book OF recipes, arranged
by Louise Bennett Weaver and Helen
Cowles LIE Cron Just published by
the Britton Publishing company, New
York.
This is not the usual dull cook
book with which many are familiar,
but it is the story of a young couple.
Bettina and Bob, who take up the
complexities of housekeeping as soon
as the wedding Journey is over. Each
chapter Of the book tells the story of
some incident in their lives and a
series Of Bettina's recipes 20 with it.
The success of these recipes is due
to the scientific training Bettina re-
ceived before marriage and thus IL is
shown that the success of the vari-
Gus branches Of the household is due
to the vision Of practical and
sensible wife.
The book is decorated in colors and
is a gift that any woman who cares
about her home would be pleased to
have.

BLUE EYED MARY.
Come tell me, blue eyed stranger,

I now am sorrows child"
Come here: Til buy thy flowers
And ease thy hapless lot;
Still wet with morning showers,
I'll buy forgetmenot.

They're fading like my youth"
