Mrs. A. LOVISE ANOREA “5+ wilt declare this is not so, and that if they had to win a man's affection! through his appetite life and love wouldn’t be worth while, but never- etheless there is more truth than «poetry in my statement, Many a war} romance was made over a cup of hot} voffee and doughnuts, many a hus- band goes to business with a cheery theart after a breakfast of griddie cakes and returns at night with a raost contented smile as he sniffs a} wholesome dinner and realizes that he is neither to dine upon delicatessen food nor expected to take wifey *out for their dinner. Personally, I believe that the cook book has as much to do with making couples happy as little | Dan Cupid himself. “Cooking is just as important in a woman's life as making money 'n & man's life, The woman who says she can’t cook is just wbout as interest- ing as the man who announces he can't make a living.” “But it isn't a matter of ‘can't cook’ with most women; It is a case of *wor. cook,’ I remarked. “Too many women dread the late night dinner which keeps them from dressing for the evening and it is @ matter of grease and dirty dishes at an hour when they would like to be convers- ing with their family, 1 don't believe te average woman dreads anything wet this last straw part of it, the fect that she can't be dainty and woot and take care of a roast or eerve a big dmoner.” NG DOWN! EAR PARENTS: I might apell this pay-rents, Permit me to call attention today to two “BAD BOY.” They are words we often hear and yet we must study them as they stand to know their mean- ing. your | words, Grown-ups are so busy these @ays they have no time to ‘waste (7) correcting children. They are so occupied they forget that a boy is not a man. They are ignorant of the fact that we are all in a st of unrest which more or less affects a boy, and that to call a boy “BAD’ fs but to Yix that idea in w | mind of the speaker and im the | mind of the boy us really being In a Woman’s Life As Making Money In a Man’s Life The Philosophy of a New York Household Expert By Fay Stevenson, “We may live without poetry, » music and art; nce, and live without heart; } We may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks.” HIS is the philosophy of Mrs. A. Louise Andrea, okery and an expert upon household In fact Mrs. Andrea has a very optimistic “cook situation.” And doleful as the Present and future may look to the average housewife, she has 4 message for many women, a light to throw upon the subject which may shed a new radiance over hitherto much despised stoves, pots and pans. “The trouble is that a woman has to LIKE to cook to be a good cuok,” replied Mrs. Andrea. “And if she doesn’t know the short cuts she never will like it. Of course, no women wishes to be in a kitchen at 8 or 9 o'clock at night and the women who know the short cuts never are.” “And the short cuts?’ “Well, to begin with, the woman who buys chops and steaks all the time doesn’t appreciate the short cuts. Chops and steaks, aside from being the most expensive meats she can buy, require cooking at the eleventh hour. They cannot be prepared. They must be cooked at the last moment. The little lady who wishes to wear a crepe meteor gown under her bungalow apron never serves a meat she has to bang over as it sizzles on a pan. She has @ roast, a chicken, a meat loaf or some meat which she can cook early in the morning and merely warm up at night. And it is the same way in preparing vegetables. Almost every vegetable can be cooked in the morn- ing and merely heated up at night. Mayonnaise and sauces should be made in large quantities and always in the morning hours, when’ one is fYesh and alert and has one's work- ing clothes on. “Cooking prepared in the morning, When a Woman can make a business of it and is dressed appropriately to do it, is just fun, but when one is afraid of spattering and besmudging one's gown or face and has todo it at the end of the day, it is just plain drudgery. Nowonder the woman. who Waits until the last moment to cook detests her job. Hie “Surely the average New York wife cannot make a great time over her breakfasts, Fruit, coffee and rolis are usually the only thing she pre- pares. Occasionally she boils an egg or makes some flapjacks, but on the play. The Yankee breakfasts are an- cient history. As to luncheon, that je usually a matter of ‘pick-up’ or ‘left- overs’ for herself or children. 'There- fore the real meal that takes her at- tention is dinner, and if she is clever the hardest part of that is all prepared by noon. Her desserts, her soups, her salads and her meat can all be ready for her and need but a moment's ate tention. The woman who starts. td |get her dinner right after she does the breakfast dishes likes to but the woman who puts off haraine ner until about 5 in the afternoon and then dashes out to get a few chops or @ steak weeps for her long-lost cook.” whole her breakfast is mere child's, | | AROUND THE FIRE PLACE, < i eae u eu NT ‘You TO THROW TOOTH Pic @) i ert New ‘York ‘Brenine Copyright, 1 Co, joria.)
