Cooxing Club rporated Throughout tho past season the debutantes have been ploneers along new lines of soctal entertainment and they seem to have so conditioned things that they are still blazing the way for those who follow In thelr footsteps. When Lent brought rest to the weary ones who made their formal dobuts in the soclal world during the pre- Lenten season, the bright minds among them conceived a cooking club as a Lenten penance for late hours and much dancing, and the cooking club emerged from the mists. Wonderful were the dishes given to the small world of epicureans In which the members moved and the elect few who were admitted into the holy of holles came forth with marvelous tales of how Mrs. Rorer and Miss Parioa wire improved upon, to say nothing of the chefs at Sherry's and Delmonico's in New York and the Richelleu in Chicago. If such a thing were possible a goodly sum might be realized for some worthy charity If the receipts for salads and oth:r concoctions made by these fair young women could be collected in book form and given to the world as the Debutantes' Cook Book. But this only by way of Introduction. The clud has been meeting weekly among the members and 5o important have the meetings been that it was decided to ln- the organization, that it might Dave a legal existence, in a word, to be able to sue and Lo sued for lost utensils, broken china and pther acts of vandallsm committed (o aud under the name of the Debutantes’ Cooking elub.
