Not the least of these young charms is a well-developed ability to cook!
Judy Garland shows you what we mean!
■ "What's cookin'?" Cooking is a very highly esteemed art. You may take your harp to a party and nobody asks you to play, but just try going into the kitchen and giving the egg beater a whirl and everybody in the house troops in, sniffing hungrily, to see what you're preparing!
Not only does an ability to make good things to eat boost you socially— think of how practical it is! A hungry chick goes to the family refrigerator looking for snacks. She sees only raw eggs, raw lemons, a slice of raw liver, a can of evaporated milk and a package of shortening. If she can't cook, she says, "Oh, dear me" in a blue little voice and goes away disappointed. If she can cook, she gets an inspiration —"I think I'll make a batch of jam cookies! Right this minute!"
And that's just what she does. She measures and mixes carefully and they turn out swell!
