INTRODUCTORY She who would be mistress of her own home must know how to cook as well as manage. This holds true whether or not one has servants. In either case, there is independence, happiness and conten—tment for those who know what to do and how to do it and worry, disap- pointment, and oft-times despair for those who do not. The Bride's Cook Book is born of my own twenty years experience in housekeeping and I fondly dedicate it to young wives the world over, in the hope that their cares will be lightened and their homes brightened by its counsel. Notwithstanding the fact that the publishers have made it into a wondrously dainty volume, its contents will be found entirely practical. When I learned to cook as a girl bride in my own home, I found my pathway rough indeed from sheer lack of knowing the first rudi- ments of cooking, so, in preparing this book, I adopted the plan that the best way to give over my own experience to young house-keepers was to be perfectly plain in my statements. That the recipes might be economical as well as prac- tical, I have put in them the exact proportion of each article required to serve two or three persons. When it is necessary to serve more, the proper proportion can be easily added. In some of the recipes, where the result would not be satisfactory if the "two or three" quantity were strictly adhered to, I have given larger proportions, and these recipes will prove advantageous when enter- taining. It is suggested that when there is any doubt as to what quantity is designated or what time is required for cook- ing, the "weights and measures" and "the time table for cooking" be consulted. I believe The Bride's Cook Book contains everything necessary for the proper instruction of the 3^oung mistress of the household. Good wishes to her. L. D.
