! fiction and the usual number of pro-
fusely illustrated and interesting spe-
cial articles, such as "The Art of Buy
ing Food for Family" by Mary Gra-
ham. The writer shows just where
the average housekeeper is wasteful,
and tells many things that will enable
a purveyor to supply her family with
variety in food at less cost than that
With which she now endeavors to main
tain a household with too frequent
accompaniment of complaint and criti-
cism. 1t contains another article in
the same vein by Anna Leach in the
Delightful Art of Cooking" 1t is re-
markable what a wealth of information
she crowds into a few pages. One
she suggests. She promises endless va
rlety, just as cheaply, too, when one
learns to prevent the wastefulness
which is the besetting sin of the Amer
lean kitchen.
