Le Petit Écho de la mode

 Le Petit écho de la mode 1925 02 15 Page 06 menus et recettes 6Page six - Le Grillon du foyer and the weekly notebook of La Bignole. What are we eating for lunch or dinner? A week of dishes with recipes for: - 36 trimbale milanaise, an original way to present simple macaroni, - 37 hake Spanish style, - 38 Belgian eggs, obviously cooked in boiling frying pan, - 39 rum baba, - 40 eggs milanese, - 41 ham pancakes.

And on the same page, "a little bit of everything". This week a lot of everything with: a rice omelette, a rabbit à la diable with rabbit blood and possibly a little cream, eggs with bananas, a recipe that can be made with oranges or apples, a war brioche, which is only warlike in name, apart from perhaps the cooking container, cornets of plenty (sic) or, today more simply, cornets with ham and macedoine, a Belgian honey cake, a ham mousse, chocolate truffles and to finish an exquisite delicacy with a handful of violets or acacia flowers.

 Le Petit Journal illustré 1925 02 15 Page 02 2Page two - The weekly recreations of La Bignole with this week chess, checkers, games and mind games and curiosities with an anagram, a square in the square and a literary curiosity, without forgetting the solutions of January 18.
A "Obituary" section, inserted among the recreations, informs us of the death of Gaston Schepers, nicknamed "the ace of the anagram". Gaston Schepers? Forgotten a century later.

Same page - The capture of Raisouli The text illustrated by the cover page

Also - The devotion of a trapper. It takes place in Alaska, in the city of Nome and the brave city, which allowed to save the population, is called Joe Ammona. A small information at the time, but which did not remain without consequence, even if Joe Ammona seems unknown. The legend of Balto, the dog savior of None is born.

 Le Petit journal illustré 1925 02 15 Page 05Page five - The crumbs of the past: the end of the world. After the Seventh-day Adventists, a famous spiritualist cries at the end of the world, Conan Doyle the father of the detective Sherlock Holmes,  and of course the famous end of the world of the year 1000, a long nightmare. Today the threats of the end of the world no longer have great effects, it is rather a smiling skepticism... Like the year 2000 with another big bug?
