Where's the cook? is supper ready, the house trimmed, rushes
strewed, cobwebs swept?

A Little Cook-Book for a Little Girl.
Estes. .75
"But Margaret said, 'I don't want to wait till I'm big; I want to cook
now; and I don't want to do cooking-school cooking, but little girl
cooking, all by myself.'"
So they gave her this simple cook-book on her birthday, and she
learned to make all the different dishes before another birthday came.

Saturday Mornings.
Estes. .75
Margaret loved housekeeping, and the big people taught her on Saturday
mornings how to take care of the house and its contents, how to
launder, to market, et cetera. The directions, given in story form,
are very clear and simple, and girls greatly enjoy the book. In fact,
work becomes as joyful as play.
