N OFFERING this collection of recipes for your consider-
ation, the committee in charge of the work of compila-
tion desire to thank the many friends of Wesley Hospital
for the assistance they have rendered and the excellent
collection of recipes which have been furnished. On behalf of
the Bazaar Committee we also desire to express our gratitude to
the advertisers and others who have aided in the publication of
this work by contributing funds.
It is not claimed that this work exhausts the subject of
cookery, but we have aimed to touch the most important lines
by including practical and tested recipes in all the various
branches of the cullinary art. We have aimed to admit nothing
to these pages that is not both practical and excellent. The
ladies whose names are attached to recipes do not claim to have
originated them, but have gathered them from many sources.
The ladies have tested them and can vouch for them. This
applies both to the signed and unsigned recipes. Feeling that
we can safely commend this volume to your taste and judgment,
we are *
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Geo. A. Ogle, Chairman,
Mrs. S. C. Haughey,
Mrs. H. N. Mudge,
Mrs. E. A. Stearns,
