Ample proof that the congressional women are

Washington Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUMNTER

WASHINGTON, May 14-The official women OF
washington have hit upon what might be termed a
million dollar idea"
AT any rate. whether or not 1t can be described by
such a lofty term. It nevertheless is true that the idea
has proved 50 dazzling to the public that the dollars
are fairly tumbIing in.
The idea is a cook book-"The Congressional Club
Cook Book" It's hackers are those women in the ma
tional capital whose husbands are members Of the
United States senate and house OF representatives.
The writer is informed that already this conpila-
ton OF recipes has netted It's producers between s25.oHO
and $4,000. And the profits are climbing with every
day.
"A glance at the book and ii Is easy to understand
why 1t Is rated as a best seller. The compilers over
looked nothing to make OF the volume one tina. would
appeal to every woman.
In the first place, the paper covering bears upon
its surface the title OF the book. with the additional
notation, "Foreword by Mrs. Herbert c. Hoover" The
book itself is bound in a most artistic fashion.
But IL is in the contents OF the tome that the great
est appeal is TO be found.
