19285211Hartford Conn: The Church 1928. Small octavo 20.25 x 12.75 cm. iv 60 pages. Advertisements. "Index" is a table of contents. Includes blank pages. FIRST EDITION. Two hundred seventy-five brief attributed recipes some of them evidently solicited from households of public officials among them an ambassador in Paris the wives of sitting governors in Georgia Indiana Kansas Maine Michigan Minnesota and Washington and the President-General of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. A recipe for Cinnamon Buns ought to be noted for its pedigree in "Mrs. Pike's family since early Colonial days." It was Mrs. Pike too who contributed a State of Maine Johnny Cake and Maine State Baked Beans. Fried Beets "must be watched as they burn quHartford 1928xickly." Alexandra Parfait Ice appearing under the name of Ambassador Myron Herrick is given "as prepared by the chef at the American Embassy in France." There was once a fashion for nostalgic projects called "The Home or House Beautiful" involving the transformation of a hall or other fellowship space into a replica of a sitting room from Colonial times. The foreword to Autographs for the Dinner Table is signed "E. W. C. Class"-the conjecture here is that the letters stand for Esther Woman's Circle"-who assure readers that the "proceeds from the sale of this book" will go to support efforts "that we might have The Home Beautiful." The date of publication is derived on one hand from a handwritten recipe reproduced in facsimile page ii dated December 5 1927 and on the other hand from the presumption that two of the submissions from governor's wives Mrs. Ralph Brewster of Maine page 26 and Mrs. Edward Jackson of Indiana page 46 would not have been signed as they were after January 2 1929 when their husbands left office. Central Baptist traces its Hartford lineage to 1790. The imposing modern edifice on Maine Street with its six signature pillars would have been new having been completed in 1926. The gift presentation is to Audrey Smith Casstevens b. 1933 the wife of Reverend Robert Clifton Casstevens 1934-2000 who served at Central Baptist in the 1960s and later as president of American Baptist Churches of Connecticut. In stapled textured and brown-lettered tan wrappers with image of a cottage and garden; brown oilcloth tape to spine. Near fine. Gift inscription in ink on front flyleaf "Mrs. Robert Casstevens Greetings and Best Wishes from E. W. C. Class at Central 1963". Unrecorded. OCLC reports no copies; not in Brown or Cagle.
