TIPPLE AND SNACK
Outside of the hurried pot of percolated coffee,
and maybe a couple of slices of blistered toast that

slowly dying of dry rot.

Harry and their wives or their women, so you take
them out to a restaurant where they eat like raven–
ous beasts. The next morning you discover your
bank roll has contracted the mange. And that's

Why do it? For about three dollars at the
"Bazar Francaise" you can collect enough French
pottery casseroles to cook swell swill for a dozen
people. Cook up a little party yourself. Perhaps
you think you can't cook, but you can.
Next time you feel like feeding some of your
friends, try some of the suggestions on the following
pages. They are easy, and they are delicious. By
the time the meal is over your friends will be calling
you Pierre!
