LITTLE TALKS WITH LITTLE COOKS The table around which the household gathers three times a day furnishes the chief opportunity for showing the results of good training, whether received in school or home. We show our unselfishness in preferring one another, anticipating one another's wants. On the table is shown the result of the unselfish thought and care of the chief home-maker. The labor connected with the preparation of the meal is either a burden or a pleasure as one's previous training has made possible. We get the best training for active life, in other than household work, early in life, at school and home. Why not learn to be good home-makers while still young? We like to do what we do well. If we learn early, we learn easily and well--the work is a pleasure and success is assured. Beginners should master the little recipes included in this book. They require only a small amount of material, but enough for success. [Illustration]
