Evidently the Times will not have to get out engraved announce ments for that reunion of homte makers on Jan. 14th in the Dolly Madison. Good news does travel fast, par ticularly when it is news of a gala party for the community, with gifts, with quality entertainment, cheer ed by jollity and novelty, and spic ed with knowledge—all served hos pitably by the Times. No door cards, coupons, printed invitations, or cash will be needed; just the countersign of all alert housekeepers, who are due to say “Show me the latest home ideas,” when they advance on the Dolly Madison theatre, at 10:30 on Jan. 14th. Showing every person in every theatre seat the triumphant new 11938 Cooking School, direct from Hollywood, will be no problem, for motion picture ingenuity has join ed forces with scientific homemak ing to produce an original labor atory -course that deftly combines romance, sprightly humor, original ity and profitable instruction. All of the popular features of the former cooking school are here; The free recipe sheets, the atmos phere of congenial informality, the wise counsel, the hints on clever sbert-cuts, the up - to - the - minute suggestions for entertaining, the demonstration ;of delicious and nourishing dishes, the array of mod ern kitchen equipment and the dis tribution of daily gifts and real sur prises. All those elements of fun and profit have been retained, and all are made doubly worth-while be cause every guest of the Times will have an individual close-up of ev ery process. This scientific new laboratory of ideas has graduated out of the class where hundreds of women craned their necks in a vain attempt to see what was happening on the stage, or assail the lecturer with plaintive cries: “Hold it up high, where we all can see.” .Keeping pace with tb<e baking, roasting and frying, a series of salads and frozen delicacies will parade in and out of the adaptable electric refrigerator, which will re veal its host of possibilities for simplifying labor and marketing, and contributing to good health and '■Wbat to do with left-overs?
