Mrs. Lindley Hadley of Washington
! State. formerly president of the Con-
gresSional Club, and Mrs. Peter Goelet
Gerry, present executive, share honors
in the praise heaped upon the congress
stonal cook book by all who have fol-
lowed its formulas. The project was
| begun under Mrs. Hadley's board OF
management and completed under Mrs
! Gerrys, and Mrs. John B. Henderson
| who because of her many benefactions
! to the club is the honorary vice presi-
/ dent. aided on both boards. Mrs. Hen
derson has contributed half dozen rec
/ ipes. all easily prepared, like rice soup,
/ and most delectable in taste. Mrs. Had
ley. whose fame in the culinary line is
/ broadcast over the Pacific Coast, has
/ some 90 recipes, all original, and Mrs.
Gerry has but one short Of a dozen
/ Among these is one for brooches, that
I tempting sweetbread of the Latins which
many assert can be made nowhere eX-
/ cept in Italy or France. Mrs Gerry
/ obtained her recipe in Italy, and If di-
rections are carefully followed the result
/ will be entirely satisfactory. Mrs. Gerry
tells how to make buckwheat cakes by
the old Southern method common in
her former home at Biltmore, and she
details how oysters are baked in the
shell with the most appetiZing sequel,
Mrs. Edward Everett Gam, sister OF
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, con-
tributes a famous Kansas recipe for
coconut pudding well remembered on
the table Of the late Mrs. Curtis.
Sir John Lavery, former president Of
the National Academy of London, but
now. with Lady Lavery, resident OF
this country, is heartily in favor of the
innovation begun by New York art
dealers in selling good canvases on the
installment plan The idea seemed
startling. when first proposed but the
eminent British portrait painter saw
many points In its favor. principally
the widening of the field for marketing
good canvases, and thus inspiring a
more general interest in art Some
time ago the foremost jewelers. of the
Nation consented to sell their wares, to
properly indorsed purchasers, for so
much down and so much annually
thereafter. and. of course, al kinds
Of musical instruments, furniture and
wearing apparel has been sold in this
manner for fully 30 years AS these
branches of the tnstallment business
have been well organized. so artists who
have already arrived. like Sir John
Lavery and his wife. who, as Hazel
Martyr. later Mrs. Edward Livingston
Trudeau. was a leading member Of
Chicagos art circle, are in favor Of
having group Of bankers finance the
selling of pictures. in that If the Sc
curity be good. the artist can cash his
notes at once. with small payment for
discount. Several of the water colors
which won recognition in New York
City have been sold on this basis, and
charcoal sketches IN series are being
bought by specialists In this line. with
the result that young artists have a
cash margin or which to pursue their
studies and TO take vacations.
