Cloth 16 Full page Illustrations $1.35 Net ——————————— Britton Publishing Company New York A THOUSAND WAYS TO PLEASE A HUSBAND By LOUISE BENNETT WEAVER and HELEN COWLES LE CRON With Decorations in Color By ELIZABETH COLBORNE A SPLENDID GIFT FOR A BRIDE This volume is not the usual dull plodding kitchen cook book made up from "collected" recipes and enlivened by photographic reproductions of cakes, pies, roasted turkeys, and tables set with knives and forks placed "just so." Rather it is the "life and adventures" of "Bob" and "Bettina," who sail into the complexities of housekeeping the moment the wedding journey is at an end. Bettina's "know-how," plus "Bob's" good-natured helpfulness, bring about immediate success to a lively and interesting attempt at home-building. Unique—practical—for two people in particular and small families in general. For economy and plenty at one and the same time it has no equal. 479 Pages Extra Illustrated $1.50 net ——————————— Britton Publishing Company New York Transcriber's Notes:Author spells shiny both as "shiny" and "shiney."
