"A Piece Of Economy

7 WAS the evening for discussing the gas bill
that solemn time which comes regularly
once a month when days are cold and even
ings long. Mrs. Blaikie's face wore the prop
erly solicitous expression and she was ready to
make her usual suggestions about the prob
ability that the kitchen range was leaking gas
and the likelihood that the gas meter cheated.
These suggestions always irritate her hus-
band. He regards them as puerile attempts
to shield extravaganza and at the same time
to get him to buy new range. But Mrs.
Blake, secure in her own integrity, continues
to offer them regularly once month.
