summer by the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club.
Mrs. Munce inherited these re-
cipe books from departed ladies
of past generations who thought
nothing of mentioning eggs by
the dozen and cream by the
quart. Most of them were hand
ed down from mother to daughter
for generations by word of mouth
or in writing.
One of the old books is called
Patrick Henry's Cook Book .
Although not actually his prop
erty, it is composed of recipes
of dishes used by his family and
probably eaten by him many
times. On the fly-leaf. in faded
delicate writing is inscribed the
statement that these recipes were
drawn off" at Red Hill, the
Patrick Henry home in Virginia,
by Mrs. Elvira M. Taylor, one of
his direct descendants.

NOVICE WRITES BOOK
IN ONLY NINE WEEKS

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.--Send-

authors is the best way to avoid

year-old Edith M. Stern Her
first novel, purse Strings" was
written in only nine weeks after
she had spent several years as
manuscript reader for the pub
fishing house which is now
bringing out her book.
81 think I unconseiously alb
sorbed the technique of novel
writing" says Mrs. Stern, a
novice in the writing world, "by
helping to pass judgment on
some 5000 stories in manuscript
form. This experience, she feels,
combined with voracious appetite
for current literature gave her
the equivalent of actual training
in writing.
The scene of Purse Strings"
is New York of the 1S8O's. 1t
shows the development of char
acter in conventional girl of
that period and in her dilettante
husband as they struggle to
keep up appearance, emulat-
ing the wealthy household in
which she was reared.
