The Allinson Vegetarian Cookery Book
INTRODUCTION This book is written with the object of laying before the public a cookery book which will be useful not only to vegetarians, but also to flesh eaters, who are often at a loss for recipes for non-flesh dishes.

and a most suitable individual generally, but you are not an
athlete, in spite of those beautiful clothes in your trunk."
"Who told you?"
"Culver Covington."
"I didn't know you two were acquainted."
Mrs. Keap flushed. "He told me all about you long ago. You wear
all the athletic clothes, you know all the talk, you have tried
