This wise little woman will know
that roasts are not for her, but she
may have steaks, chops, pot roasts,
g~oulashes, stews, meat pies, etc.
When cooking chicken she may use
the wings, thigh and legs Cor fr!cas-
e and chicken a !a Maryland, and
the breast for chicken a la king
and chicken salad or have the
breast grilled.
She also knows that when baking
It is necessary to use smaller pans

Girl Wasn't Deceitful

article signed "Unbeliever." think
the young man Ia very unjust to the
mi he loves when he accuses her of
