, SCHOOL FOR. COOKEHY.
A lady from England is about estab
lishing a school for cookery in Sydney,
and it is to bo hoped, that all ladies, who
havo hitherto . negleoted this ..useful
branch of female education, will take
lessons in tho culinary art. Tho vuko
of the knowledge ot how to serve up
palatable food from common materials
cannot be over-estimated. Tho, waste
that is thus avoided no one would
crodit, till they go practically into tho
matter. It is an undeniable. fact that
ofton tho meat and vegetables that are
thrown away in somo families, owing to
tho bod cooking,.is sufficient to support
the aarao number of peoplo, if only
utilised by proper dressing. Even the
Chineso nro beforo us, wjth? a.\\ our
superiority, jij tho necessary scienco of
malting ini-ch of a little in preparing
ijavoi-ry meals out of small commons.
Many a ' household . brawl would bo
if tho cool-ing department wero
hotter understood and attended to, and
to say nothing of tho economy pro
moted, iv small fortune would bo saved
by keeping digestion in good repair with
wholesorao well-cooked food, that is now
expanded in pills and other nostrums to
put tho stomach in order, aud whioh
never would havo been put out if the
oulinary art had bad fair play. As an
antidote to intemperance, good cookery
is invaluable. Tho wont of good
nourishing food leads to a de?ira for
strong drink. This fact should stimu
late all housewives with the laudablo
ambition ot being first class cooks.
