SCIENTIFIC HOUSEKEEPING
Table Really Well Supplied
at S5.15 a Week.

Awake 81 love Torn swains So clerks
who have bewailel the fac, that your
salary wouldn't allow tte taking on of a
better hlif and hearlsen % The expert
encos of ten Chicago girls who have
proved that any young married couple
can live comfortably on $40 a week and
ssue money besides.
The ten young women have just been
graduated from the Chicago Commons
Cooking sctooi. ana one of the require
ments Of their giaduatioa was-a kaowi-
edge % economy In household affairs.
al ~ the young women are brides to- be
and. although they are well of them-
selves they decided to prepare for any
conditions which might arise during
their married life They worked aud
studied months and mouths and hnally
got the housekeeping business town to
"a really scienthc point
Tempting Dishes at from 70 Cents
At their graduation from the cooking
scte.A they prepared tempting meals for
two costing from twenty-one cents to
City cents They made the most ap-
petlzing dishes at a cost OF from two to
cents. They demonstrated many eco
nomich ways Of furnishing fats. tipping
janitors and otherwise cuttirg down ex-
penses.
Not only can these graduates meet the
bills Of the grocer the butcher and the
rent n1aa with weekly allowance OF
$40 but thcy can make the necessary
payments on furniture hold out enough
for clothing provide car fare. buy a few
boat rides and theater tickets and make
regular additions TO the fund set apart
Tor rainy day
To the Young man whn recalls that
when he or lers II meal in cheap res
taurant thcchrth always reads at least
thirty cents, and that he has to provide
for such checirs three times day for
seven days a week in addition to foot
ing laundry bills and settling with the
landlady it would seem that the $40
plan would leave little forthe other half
Of the family. but the Chicago Commons
girls have proved all male calculations
wrong
For instance these giris would take
the money the young man pays for his
breakfast aud got up "a substantial meal
for four persons. TIE amount he spends
for luncheon would provide four course
dinner for hungry quartet, ana there
would be enough left for supner IN
other words. they would take the money
paid out by one economical man. pro-
vide for two with il. and enec; margin
OF saving
SO Week for two is Plenty
Miss 1. T. Bond, director OF the school
smiled good natufcdIy at the suggestion
thar young couple vcnturing upon the
matrimonial sea With total OF SIS
week to live uaon would have pretty
rough sailing
''Would YOU spend SO week for the
table of two persons" she asked in
mock horror. What shameful extray-
aestnce! Why that amount OF money
properly expended viii not t/Iy provide
Il young couple with good nutriuous
food m variety but win pay tile rental
OF fiat and leave bit over FOR rainy

Miss Bond then went on to explain
Just how the thing was done and how
the ten graduates were brought TO a
realization that a Slo hin can be made 10
