THE NEW COOKERY.

Since Lizzie goes to cookin’ school the house don’t seem the same; Most 'everything we get to eat has got a fancy name, Au’ none of it is what we like, but what’s the use to kick ? I reckon it’s all right so long ia it don’t make us sick. But, somehow, well, I’m gettin’ tired of this here ’’consommav,” An* salads that’s as spiritless as last year’s crop o’ hay. Since Lizzie goes to cookin’ school she don’t cook like her ma. She has to have a apron on—the best you ever saw. It’s frilled an’ puckered here an’ there, an’ trimmed around with lace. I reckon Lizze’il be all right when she has struck the pace. But, somehow-, well, it seems to me I can’t just get the hang Of. when I’m eatin’ custard pie, to call it a "merraug.” Since Lizzie goes to cookin' school, we don’t get no more n ush, An’ when I say I'd like some greens, she says, “Now, pa, you bush!" She holds a fool the’mometer on everything she cobks. An' scolds because the cookstove won't run 'cordin’ to the books. But, somehow, well, the things don’t seem good after they are carved. Since Lizzie goes to cookin' school—why, say, I’m blamed near starved. —Baltimore American.
