Today's giveaway are these two vintage references; the recipt book is a general almanac/encyclopedia of facts, recipes, how-to hints, and other assorted affairs of "domestic science." It was published in 1916. The other is a guide for "womankind," which means assorted essays and illustrations on health, beauty, being a good mother, and how to clean the house - just the sort of antiquated ideas you'd expect from 1901.
