In collecting these "Crumbs From Everybody's Table' ' and presenting them to our many friends, it is with the assurance that we give to all subscribers a cook book, rich in the best kind of recipes and rules for practical cooking, making it, we trust, acceptable not only to those who are proficient in the art of cooking, but particularly so to those who are young and inexperienced housewives.

These recipes have all been tested in our various homes, and we feel the strongest assurance that if faithfully followed will produce the best of results.

Each recipe is plain and tried,

And some good housewife's honest pride,

Some home's delight; And should your effort bring no prize, I '11 say not where the trouble lies -

'Twere impolite."

Second Edition.
