missed when Attorney Sullivan show

GOOD COOK TO BE ENvIED
Always Sure Of Popularity Is the Per-
son Who Can Concoct Dishes
That Are Appetizing.

To prove that there is nothing in
trinsically humble or shameful in cook
ing 1t is only necessary to mention
hunting or fishing party. The man who
can turn out palatable dish is envied
and lauded. The college girl who can
concoct midnight suppers over can
of frozen alcohol or gas jet is sure
of popularity. Many of the great of
the earth have practiced cooking as an
accomplishment. Louis Nv one of the
EXTREMIST conn0isSeurS in the art Of
living, prided himself on his coffee.
One of the most famous of table sauces
was invented by gentleman of Wor-
cestershire. Many great ladies of the
Olden times used to exchange recipes.
Sir Kenelem Digby, an adventurous
and scholarly soul, left a fat volume
full of them, ranging from simple ap-
pie sauce to the most refined elabo-
ration of game.
1t is not even necessary that cook
cry should aspire to the phase called
'fancy" to be artistic. Above all, the
sauce, that idol of the professional
chef, should be dethroned from its bad
eminence. The sauce is the mother Of
nightmares. The dish itself and not
its accompaniments, is the thing. Cook
ing is real, cooking is earnest, and the
gravy is not Its goal.-Exchange.
