ReplyDeleteIt looks like it might be this book published in Boston in 1924:

The Modern Priscilla Cookbook, with the same cover as yours, shows a 1924 publication date. It was apparently updated in 1932. A Modern Priscilla magazine was first published in the late 1800s by the Priscilla Publishing Company. Apparently, a modern Priscilla was something to which women aspired.
