In December. 1896. Mr. Wo0lf had a

disappointment Of two waits. who
crawled out of Il forlorn bed to find their
ragged stockings empty. This ritfui pic

more than tears. She conceived and
spread abroad the idea of Empty

poor children. These clubs spran& up
everywhere, and on Christmas day. 1897,

authorities. says the Independents This
is the purchase OF certain household pro-
visions i'll large quantities. Few writer's
on domestic topics fail to lay stress upon
the economy of buying groceries in bulk
That sugar and -four, potatoes and an
pies should be bought by the half or
whole barrel, cereals by the case. butter
by the tub and other things in like pro-
portions is one of the early precepts in
the Young Housekeepers Complete
Guide to Domestic Economy" The ig-
n0rant young things buy the provisions
first and the experience afterward The
flour grows musty. the cereals develop
weevils, the potatoes and apples rot long
before they can be eaten, and the cook
exercises a lavishness in the use of the
butter and sugar she would never show
were they bought in such limited
amounts that the housekeeper could hold
close watch over them. Even after these
events the young mistress feels as if she
were absolutely reckless and no manager
at all when she so far departs from
household law as to buy food in small
quantities.

And he looked down on Mr.. Tilden
convincingly, asking:
