A Little Preserving Book for a Little Girl

"Well, well," said the friend, "I shall certainly know where to come when I need any new hints on preserving."

"When these recipes (touching the cards in the little 'wooden box' lovingly) are made into a little book—an idea that has been suggested to mother—perhaps you could buy one," suggested Adelaide innocently.

"I most certainly shall," answered the friend.

And she (the friend) did.

Jessie May could hardly wait for her copy of the "little book," and you will be interested to know that she was just as successful in her efforts at "preserving" as was Adelaide, and also found it very interesting work.
