BETTY BROWN
INVITES PUBLIC
INSPECTION

Betty Brown has come to town, not
in person but in renown and all who
possess a delicate taste should n'er
DER look her local place.
Fairfield avenue, just opposite
HowIand's is where your appetite for
daintieS can be appeaSed. For those
who do not know Betty it might be
said that she is a dear lady residing
in Melr ose, Mass, who has spent the
biggest part of ST years, her, age,
writing recipes for the practical
knowledge she has gained by having
her own hands in the dough, the
only way to learn the real funda-
menta1s of cooking.
The location of the bakery is ideal
as it is convenient and sanitary. The
interior is pure white and as clean
as can be, with all modern cooking
appliances installed. Absolutely no
food substitutes are used The pur-
prises the menu for cooking the
various dainties and the public is in
vited to inspect the kitchen and
watch the process of Cookery.
Housewives in this city who are
especially particular about the bread,
cakes and pies they eat will have no
cause to find fault now that Betty
Brown has offered some of her choice
recipes, such mother used to make.
No longer will it be necessary to step
to New York to taste real French
pastry, for Betty's can't be beaten.
An invitation is cordially extended
lovers of clean, wholesome food to
visit the bakery and partake of its
goodies Mrs. Rogers will see that
you are well taken care of in the
way of courteous service.

accompanied, although some will

it's capabilities as never before, SO
that the best singers available must
be secured and regular attendance

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

| Living in Italy is analogous to the
| experience of matrimony. Disillu-
| sionment follows the first glamour,
! after which comes a recognition of
| both graces and shortcomings
4 knowledge that makes bearing and
forbearing necessary an affection

cause of faults and virtues

agree that it gave a pretty clear an

once spent in Italy, I couldn't resist
a loud chuckle as 1 answered yes"

dies of water lying stagnant and
