In fact, anyone who has eaten at my house will attest (if they are still among the living) to that fact. I mean when your kid would rather eat in the school lunchroom or at the burger palace, 'it says SOMETHING about your cooking. And my husband comes home for dinner about one day a week--even then with a pained, "what will she do to my stomach tonight?" expression on his face. So why, I ask you, do these book people keep sending me ads for these fancy cookbooks? If they miss one day, they'll send two the next.

Great, large pages of standing rib roasts, surrounded with shining carrots, fluffy potatoes with cheese garnish and bouquets of flowers sitting nearby greet me when I open the envelopes. They promise with astonding confidence that I will be able to make souffles, mousses, pies, tarts, and meringue puffs--with one hand tied. "Follow a master's personal, proven steps to success," they yell at me, offering recipes for crepes, brioches and Irish soda bread. They want to teach me how to roast, braise, broil, stir-fry, batter coat, knead, unshrink pie shells, poach, and stuff a spectacular hindquarter of lamb. Me? I have the urge to write to them every time and say: "Dear cookbook people--you know not to whom you wrote!" But they keep trying--they send me a famous chef's personal recipes for his "outstanding dishes." There are specialty books, like "party foods," the "world of baking" volumes, Oriental, Mexican, and "down home" cooking.

Then someone comes up with a "Best of them AH" cookbook. And I haven't even mastered the worst yet. "Win applause," they tell me, "with your cream sauce," and then, if I don't win applause they can take me, they swear, on a "cooking adventure to top any adventure I've ever had." Somehow, I find myself questioning that statement. And why is it they always have such beautiful cookware to display these marvelous recipes? There never is a plain pot--it has to be gleaming copper, or decorated enamel, or shining silver. None of these recipe book people ever cook in ordinary pots.

I don't care what they say, tonight we're having hot dogs. And I'm going to cook them in the oven in one of those glamorous aluminum pans left over from the last gourmet frozen pie I served. So there! By MARY ARTHUR Area cat-fanciers had a big time as the Queen City Cat Club Inc. held its fourth annual cat show at the National Guard Armory in Cincinnati. Butler County names dotted the list of those showing cats and winning prizes, and young people did just about as well as older cat lovers when it came to capturing ribbons.

Mrs. Davis also took second best novice in the s.hpw in all-breed with "01- Ray Lady Peachy," of Willow Glen Cattery.
