O ye tired and weary house-wives
O ye never-tiring house-wives
Here's a solving, solving, solving,
Of the daily eating problem.
Here's an answer, answer, answer.
To the oft-repeated question
To the quite perplexing question
That confronts us, that annoys us.
What shall we eat ? What shall we eat ?
Here's a book of tested cooking,
Here's a book of tried proportions
Kindly given by our women,
Thank we them for their donation
Thank them for this little cook book.
Dedicate it to these women
To these helpful, trusty women.
Take it to your friends and neighbors,
May it prove a blessing to you.

Dedicated to the Federation Cook Book
By Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman, A. M.
Chairman Ways and Means
National Association Colored Women' s Clubs
She could draw a little, paint a little,
Talk about a book.
She could row a boat, ride a horse.
But alas she couldn't cook.
She could gown, she could go,
She could very pretty look
But her best beau he was poor
And he couldn't hire a cook.
When he learned the fatal truth
His flight he quickly took,
And his girl is single still,
Because she couldn't cook!
***>?*****
Believe not the love tales
You find within a book
Love's fate often turns on,
The skill of the cook
Before a man marries
'Tis the gown or the look,
But after the wedding
He looks for a cook.
'Tis said to man's heart,
The shortest route took
Is reached through the region,
Controlled by the cook!
Go forth then a blessing,
You dear little book,
And happiness ever
Attend the good cook.

one sprig of parsley, one-half teaspoon of salt, a few grains
pepper and a bay leaf if desired. Method Have the bones

pieces. Add vegetables and season about hour before the
soup is done. Strain and set aside for 2 to 4 hours.
