BELGIAN COOKERY FOR ENGLISH WORKING WOMEN.'
[To Ton Ennon or Tun "SesenTon."]
SIR,—A scheme has recently been started which will enable, it is hoped, Englishwomen of the working class to learn some- thing of the methods and system of cookery as practised in many of the poorer homes of Belgium. Belgian working. class cookery, when seen at its best, is essentially appetizing and nutritious. Above all, it is economical. Wards is prac- tically unknown. Having secured the services of some refugee teachers from Belgian " Ecoles Menageres," we are prepared to send them to Schools for Teachers, Working-Girls' Clubs, Temperance Associations, Soldiers' Wives' Clubs, Ac., or to private classes for working women at a fee of approximately 5s. per elms. For this sum ten to fifteen pupils can be taught how to prepare a meal of three courses (e.g., thick soup, a meat dish, and a pudding), the cost of which for a family of five works out at 30. per head and less. For the same fee a teacher can be provided for classes of professional women; whilst the fee charged in the case of classes for the well-to-do and their cooks is 10s. per class or per private lesson. Courses of lessons have already been arranged for various Women's Associations, and at the request of a commanding officer classes are being held for recruits, which are meeting with great success. We do not undertake the formation or arrangement of classes, but associations or individuals wish- ing to secure the services of a Belgian teacher can do so by applying to Miss Margaret Sylvester Samuel, 80 Onslow Gardens, S.W.—I am, Sir, Sic., DOROTHY ST.
