He may live without hope—what is hope but deceiving 2 He may live without love—what is passion but pining ? But where is the man that can live without dining ?” BARRIBE, 1900. S. WESLEY, PRINTER, PROPOSED NEW HOSPITAL. PREP AGE, “‘To be a good cook means the knowledge of all fruits, herbs, balms, and spices and of all that is healing and sweet in field and groves, and savory in meats ; means carefulness, inventiveness, watchfulness, willingness and readi- ness of appliance. It means the economy of your great grand-mothers, and the science of modern chemists. It means much tasting and no wasting. It means English thoroughness, French art and Arabian hospitality. It means in fine, that you are to be perfectly and always ladies (loaf-givers) and are to see that everyone has something nice to eat.” —Ruskin. [Y presenting this Cook Book to the public the Woman’s °°" Auxiliary of the R. V. Hospital appeal to the gener- osity of a heretofore liberal people The desire to realize a good and sufficient sum of money whereby we may be enabled to purchase the many comforts necessary to aid the sick and suffering while they are patients in our Hospital, compelled us to devise ways and means to pro- cure this money. The scheme of a Cook Book is not a new one. Many other towns have adopted this way, and have been success- ful; and our hope is that we may also have a measure of the same success. In compiling this book the W. A. have been most care- ful to put before the public only those recipes which our housekeepers have tested. The fault of a great many Cook Books is, the unnecessary extravagance of material, the recipes being more adapted to the purse of the millionaire than to that of the ordinary housekeeper. In this book our aim is to enable the housekeeper to place on her board well-cooked, dainty and wholesome food, thus making her family healthy and happy at a moderate cost. To the ladies who have contributed recipes, to the business men who have given us advertisements (thereby materially assisting us in our work), and to all who may purchase copies we tender our grateful thanks. The advertisements form a valuable feature of the work, as they present to the reader only reliable business houses. M. J. FRAWLEY. B. DEVLIN. FRAWLEY .# & # DEVLIN. ESTABLISHED 1875.
