Mrs. Cross is overjoyed with the
news of her great welcome to town
and how kind and considerable every
one has been and how the Kennebec
Journal has anticipated her every
i'll, ~l1
ton Of a table, a cabinet or can or
messages she has already received
asking her to speak before private
groups and clubs and she regrets that
she will not have time to accept them
all.
In her talks on cookery, Mrs. Cross
has some Of the most interesting
stories to relate and recipes to give
you that one could imagine. You can
readily understand how interesting
Mrs. Cross will be in her talks since
she has gained fame from her work
in all parts of the country.
And one thing that will amaze your
eyes and that will be the set up of
her kitchen. She has some of the
finest kitchen equipment ever before
seen on the stage in this city.
There will be several subjects dis
cussed during the sessions of the
school by Mrs. Cross. Every moment
she Is cooking she will be talking.
Have you that question or questions
ready that we have been telling you
for the past week to prepare and
ask? 1t may be written or asked oral
ly. Don't be bashful in putting any
questions to Mrs. Cross thinking
possibly that someone will litter at
you. Not at all. You will find ev-
erything in the spirit of getting at
facts, figures, formulas. and findings
for your home and your kitchen and
you will be enriched a hundred fold
as each session is on.
Don't forget that each day the pro-
gram will be announced. In fact it
will be printed a day In advance IN
full detail.
There will also be a musical pro-
gram which the Kennebec Journal
has arranged, for diversion and the
pleasure of the audience each day
And cooking and the kitchen and the
dining room and the drawing room
are not without their music. If you
don't believe 1t, just think back on
the number of time that while you
were In your kitchen preparing the
evening meal or the morning meal
you were not humming some aria
from some favorite opera or musical
work. There was never a young girl
who washed dishes that did not sing
the while she did the kitchen work.
1t Is just the nature Of us all to
! sing or whistle or hum or carry some
kind of music through our mind
while in physical action.
Keep in mind the hours of the ses-
sions and come in early and DOM
| delay lest you miss something good
right at the start. Mrs. Cross is very
prompt and every minute of her time
is just "chucked full". of good things
to hear and look at.
Come early.
