COOKING HER WAY AROUND THE WORLD
Miss M. Luty, like many another North of England girl, worked in a mill, but all the time she longed to travel. She knew that good cooks are always wanted, so she decided to cook her way round the world. By attending classes she made herself a first-class cook, and then with £ls and a map of tho world she set off for her first post. It was in Nova Scotia, and from there she gradually worked her way from one kitchen to the next across tho prairies, over tho Rockies, down tho Pacific Coast to San Francisco. From there she sailed to Australia, crossed to South Africa, and so homo. It was cooking, cooking all the way; rainbow trout or elephant meat, it did not matter to her what she cooked so long as she earned enough to pay her way to the next place. It might truly be said of her in Saki's words: "She was a good cook as good cooks go, and as good cooks go she went"; but she went with a purpose, and her cooking has carried her round tho world.
