Society Matron Is Cateress By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent Greenwich, Conn. (U.R) It ie easy to find women who cook lor a living, and it is possible to find women who live without learning how to cook but al most never do you find a society matron who makes a business out of cooking. Mrs. Pierce Onthank has a three stove kitchen in the sort of suburban neighborhood where three-Cadillac garages may be found. She and an old family friend, Mrs. Sally Duval, run a profit able catering business that could flourish in any community where enough people give enough parties. They not only cook the food personally on requests, but they take over the table setting, food serving and have somebody run the vacuum cleaner after the guests leave. 1 Mrs. Onthank is the wife of a vice-president of the New York City Chemical Corn Exchange bank who never cooked a meal in her life until World War II eame along. "I started baking cakes for the USO in New London, Conn., for their Saturday night parties. The cakes didn't run into a full- fledged catering service until after the war when they moved here. "By 1945 I was making two pies and two cakes and three pans of brownies every day for the local hospital's service shop" Mrs. Onthank said. - Finally in 1947 she and Mrs. Duval decided to open a shop where people could buy hot cas serole dishes and homemade cakes. "A year later we were asked to do our first wedding recep tion," she said. Party and wedding catering got to be such a big business they gave up their shop but kept the name, "Pick-Up-Pantry" for their service. "It's hard work, but you can make money at it," she said. "It means a hostess can be ' com pletely free. She can come down stairs as the guests arrive with her hair done and her nails per fect what woman doesn't like to entertain that way!" Director Guest Of Garden Club Mrs. A. O. Floyd, Siskiyou district director 'for the Oregon Federation of Garden Clubs was guest at the last - meeting of Howard Garden club. It was held at the home of Mrs. Loren McCay, with Mrs. Don Elliot and Mrs. Robertson as co-hostesses.
