We may live without poetry, music, and art;

We may live without conscience, and live without heart;

We may live without friends; we may live without books;

But civilized man cannot live without cooks."

PREFACE.

Although in putting forth this little book we do not claim that we are

filling a "Long felt want," yet we do feel that its many tried and

true recipes from our own housekeepers will be very welcome. We also

believe that it will not only be welcomed by those who recognize the

names and merits of the various contributors, but by all housekeepers,

young and old. There can never be too many helps for those who, three

times a day, must meet and answer the imperative question, "What shall

we eat?"

To the many who have helped so willingly in the compilation of this

book, the Editorial Committee would extend a grateful acknowledgment.

For the literary part of the work, we would beg your indulgence, since

for each of us it is the first venture in the making of a book.
