All the flowers were listening to the dis
pute between the two beauties and Mr..
Bee quite forgot his work, he too was 30
interested.
'You shall not be Queens, replied Red
Rose and she shook with anger as she spoke
until all who saw feared she would lose
some of her lovely petals.

custard worth eating without eggs nor
cake without milk, or can she get along
without something that is as rich as
butter for shortening.
One housewife recently, who had Sc
cured treasure in the way of q willing
but not very versatile maid Of all work

domestic was watching her with con-
siderable eagerness.

she said; though I've worked for good
many ladies that talk good deal about
knowing how TO cook. But you aren't
afraid TO use something that's what makes
your things taste so good.
And there really are good many
housewives who have gained the repu-
tation of being good cooks whose dishes
now taste fiat and give little satisfaction.
During the war they had to skimp on
certain things, and now advancing prices

For after all we need the nourishment.
And good wholesome nourishing food
