It was one of the few annual ac- countings of modern times in which a cabinet officer merely told of the many important tasks his depart- mente was doing, and asked for nothing.

FRESE found the way to fortune by serving extra- dainty foods to women who demand them. She instituted in America the special tea room ideas of food, cooking and ser- vice which have since gained such vast popularity. She is founder of the Colonia Tea Room in New York, also of the two Vanity Fair Tea Rooms. Today two of them are located in buildings which she owns— buildings built from earnings. The first investment was $500, con- tributed by Miss Frese and by Miss Ada Mae Luckey, who has been associated with her ever since. The first “Colonia” had only five employees. The Colonia of today is located in her own six-story building at 379 Fifth Avenue, where Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt had his home. Folly Farm in Connecticut, where Miss Frese srows her vegetables Miss Frese also owns the charming Vanity Fair Tea Room Building at 3 East 38th Street, where Miss Jean Carson is in charge. Also an office building at 33rd Street and Madison Avenue. Also a model farm in Connecticut, which supplies the vegetables in season, and fresh flowers daily, all the year, for the tea room tables. Among the dishes which have made these tea rooms famous are Johannah'’s chicken and pumpkin pies, The recipe has never been changed. The coffee served in all these tea rdoms is ex- quisite LaTouraine, with extra-heavy cream. Why not serve that coffee at your table? Itwill be a credit to you, as it is to those tea rooms. It will be a con- stant delight to your people. Yourgrocer supplies LaTouraine (Extra) Coffee at a modest price. He has it ever- fresh, direct from us. Mail us the coupon.
