Directions
One of the lecturers before the Baltimore cooking school gave the following recipe for cooking husbands :
"A good many husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanage- ment. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up. Others keep them constantly in hot water. Others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew by irritating ways and words; others roast them. Some keep them in pickle all their lives.

It is far better to have none unless you will patiently learn how to cook him. A preserving kettle of the finest porcelain is the best, but if you have nothing but an earthenware pipkin it will do with care. See that the line in which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and strings tightly sewed on. Tie him in the kettle with a strong silk cord called comfort, as the one called duty is apt to be weak. Make a clear, steady fire out of love, neatness and cheerfulness. Set him as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and frizzes do not be anxious ; some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confec- tioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves him, but it must be used with judgment. Do not stick any sharp instruments into him to see if he is be- coming tender. Stir him gently, wat
