housewives on their mettle and / am
sure some wonderful and delicious
cakes will be submitted. Such con-
tests stimulate the housewives to bet
ter cake baking, and teach the ideals
to be striven for in cake baking"
Miss Wrestling speaks whereof she
knows, because she has been identi-
fed with many similar contests in
the various States she traverses an
nually to preach the gospel OF good
bread, pastry and cake baking.
Il think this Is an excellent enter
prise on the part of The Washington
Times, and will be more than pleas
ed to serve as Judge" said Mrs.
Hoes 1T Is a capital idea. l know
there is great rivalry among the
cake baking housewives of Washing
ton. and / think this Is a splendid
way to settle the debate as to the
relative qualities of their CONNECTIONS.
We handle q great many cakes at the
Housekeepers Alliance, and hope
the winners will let the DECISIONS In
this contest mark only the beginning
Of their cake baking careers"
Monsieur Maxine Huguet also APP
proved the contest in warm terms. Il
will be happy to serve as judge.
said he, because the contest will de-
termine what really constitutes a su-
perior cake and give ali the house
wives in Washington an opportunity
to learn exactly what standards must
be conformed to in order to turn out
a surprising CONNECTION. The contest
ought to be worth great deal to
Washington housewives"
