The Intter Is of little account any way, but. thero are many of .tho foundation precepts that are of the highest value, Theses onee muastored, and then applled with good sonae, wiil without questlon elevata the tone ot our cookery, : In pursuing this subject the diselples of Miss Corson, howovur, should remember two things. In the firat place, all ¥ales and reelpes nre apt to bo {llusions, ttnless they ara practienlly applled and with goud sense ond - Judgment, 'The best of tooks are born, not made. Thoy have a certaln ndaptnbility to thelr profession,~whatin com- mon parlance is callod “lnneks” = The menluses in cookery do not work by rules, ‘Thefr Intuitions guide them.

Undoubtedly many of Mlas Corson’s hearers will copy her rules and then go home and follow them, and yet find that “thelr cookery Is In 1o way ‘ improved. ‘o ' obtaln Miss Corson’s results there must bo'n cortaln nmount of judgment and good .sense used, and they must be patiently. and porsistontly used, Then, though ons may not have gentus, 'she may develop a talont which will at Inst bo crowned with suceess, Thero arg people who In an Incredibly short time will* taketho Ingredients of & salad, for Instanee, throw them together and stir them up inan apparently Inconseqientinl manner, and yot produce o perfect rosult, which the looker-on way br valn endeavor to uccoinptiali, though uslug the same material, and golng through with the same processes. The salad-mnker works from long exporience, just s the cook does, und addsto this good Judgment and knowledge ot vffocts, justas a printor knows how to dash his plmnents upon n ecanvus mnd cvolve o .perfect sunset from them, In the second place, Miss Corson’s les- sons will linve little value it this sud- den -pngslon s merely n craze. It is not many yenrs aga that M. Blot was liere and gnve substantinlly just such n courso of lectures as Miss Corson Is glving, and with ‘the snme kind of practicrl experlments, but what good “did It do? The cooking manin wasall over n week: after M, Blot had loft tho elty, If tho Interest dies out with Miss: Corson’s slx lectures, thoy might s well never have been dellvered. for any practieal rood they will accomplish. The real value of lier sorvices here Is not to be found In. theso lectures but In the establishment of some practienl und permanent schoel. ot cookery. As we have sald, there are somo who are born cooks, with whom sucecessful enokery Is an inspiration, and who aro inde- pendent of all rules, but they nre the excen- tion. The mass must loarn It by patient, prn‘uucnl training, and sehools of this sort must furnish the meana. - That they ean be gonducted with successful results Is shown by the large number of them in Europe and the splendid work they arg dolng.
