Every housekeeper, young or old, experienced or 
otherwise, will be glad to obtain this new Cook-book. 
There is probably no question, concerning the providing 
of suitable and appetizing food for the family, which has 
perplexed the wife and mother more than this“ What 
shall we have for breakfast ?” If that meal is unsatisfy¬ 
ing, or in any sense wrong, things are apt to go wrong 
all day. Here the trying question is answered. This 
book has been prepared 
For tlie Farm-house or the City Home; 
For the Rich and for the Poor; 
For the Experienced Matron; 
For the Young Wife. 
It tells how to prepare beef breakfasts, and mutton 
breakfasts, and fish breakfasts, and egg breakfasts, and 
breakfasts simple or elaborate, too numerous to partic¬ 
ularize. It tells what to get in summer and what in win¬ 
ter, and as well for the frontier log cabin, the most fru¬ 
gal and wholesome meal, as for the elaborate morning re¬ 
past in the wealthier home, for the family alone, or for 
guests with them. The housekeeper may also add upon 
the blank pages, with which the book is abundantly in¬ 
terleaved, any other recipes, etc., which she may wish to 
preserve; and whether she has little or much to work 
with, she will find here wise counsel and constant help. 
The book is bound in extra cloth, gold and black; inter¬ 
leaved. Price $1.00.
