A NOVELIST COOK.
Miss Leonora Eyles, tho _ novelist, has written a cookery book which should act as a tonic to jaded housewives tired of the monotony of their daily domestic routine. "I know of no art which offers such scope for individuality as the art of the cook, and I am entirely honest when I say that the feeling one experiences when ono sees a book at last in print exactly the same emotion with which one surveys a table full of 'scrumptious' cakes and pies that one has cooked! If women deplore the dulness and monotony of their lives, 1 advise them to buy a , fewnneew e cookery books a.nd begin to use their kitchens as scientific laboratories. ' This is the 6timulatiag assurance and advice that the author of half a dozen successful novels gives to the everyday woman at homo. Miss Eyles deplores the 'act. that nowadays you can scarcely buy a cako anywhero that is not coated with sugary icing and packed with some greasy composite substance called cream, richly sweetened," and contrasts theso efforts of the modern cakemaker with the homemade cakes of a past day, which, with their dried fruits, eggs, and butter, wore real food. ,
