Excerpt from The Book of a Hundred Houses: A Collection of Pictures, Plans and Suggestions for Householders

The title has suggested itself to me as the one I am looking for to christen these notes, because of a highly prized recipe there is in my scrap-book, once lovingly bequeathed to me by my mother, entitled:

"How to Make 4 Pompion Pies."

This recipe was not taken from any cookery book. It was one of those family formul? of tradition handed down from generations before, and as mine stood in imminent danger of losing the "trick of it" - as Pinero says in "Trelawney of the Wells" - I one day thoughtfully wrote it out from my mother's dictation, so nearly at least as the proportions of the ingredients would express it.
