winter months. In the spring
of 1936 he rallied and since
that time had frequently
preached from his pulpit, the
last sermon being on Septem

he became critically ill.

family when they returned to
their old home in North Carolina
during the War Between the
States.
He took his college course at
Davidson College and his theo

In 1879 Mr. Robinson began

Hollywood, will be no problem,
for motion picture ingenuity has
joined forces with scientific
'homemaking to produce an orig
inal laboratory course that deft
ly combines romance, sprightly

instruction.
All of the popular features of
the former Cooking School are
here: The free recipe sheete, the
atmosphere of congenial inform
ality, the wise counsel, the hints
on clever short-cuts, the up-to-
the minute suggestions for en
tertaining, the demonstration of
delicious and nourishing dishes,
the array of modern kitchen
equipment and the distribution
of daily gifts and real surprises.
All those elements of fun and
profit have been retained, and all
are made doubly worth-while be
cause every guest of ’The Joum-

; This scientific new laboratory
of ideas has graduated out of
