This includes the cold storage department, as well. Next comes the department of "Soups," of which the mak- ing of two hundred kinds is explained.

The volume ends with a comprehensive index occupying 44 double column pages. The book is profusely illustrated — ^there being no less than 806 cuts interspersed among the reading matter. The pictures are very good of their kind, too. Another most excellent fea- ture of this great cook book is that every recipe in it appears under a good, honest English name, alongside of which is the translation of it into the French.
