THE SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCES.
One Woman's Way of Providing Pal
atab!e and Nutritious Food.

When | was married six years ago.
and absolutely nothing about buying
provisions for family table.
There was large grocery store
and meat market in combination in
our town. and there | used to tele-
phone my orders every morning for
the meat, bread, fruit. groceries and
vegetables. The result was that we
usually had stale bread and wilted
vegetables and poor cuts OF meat; but
so we went on for more than year.
One day, after receiving an unusually
poor array OF articles, | resolved to
try another procedure and select the
daily food products.
My husband had always paid every
fortnight the meat and grocery bill.
l asked him to allow me to caculate
an average amount, hand me the al
lowance and l would pay cash for
everything. In a few weeks had so
arranged my daily routine that the
visit for the marketing took very lit
tie OF my time. Certainly we had
better food upon our table, and, best
OF all, | found at the end of each
week some money left over. Here
is the sum and substance of my pres
ent regime. A farmer brings me
eggs and butter each week, thereby
assuring fresh supplies OF these i'm
portant necessities. The baker leaves
hot bread, or cake or pie, any after
noon when | have not had time to do
my own baking. The vegetables I
buy from a ne!ghbor who has his gar
den in sight, and the peas or corn
come literally from the earth to the
table within twenty-four hours. And
l go early in the morning, just after
setting the rooms to rights, to select
my meats from the butcher. All
staple articles from the grocer | or
der in large quantities, thereby saw
ing almost a third of their expense,
and ! have splendid store closet,
which is the pride of my heart. The
grocer also knows now that | want
the very best of every thing, and that
l will accept no other. Surely the food
as now provided is not only more pal
atble but also more nutritious.

Don't, In order to avoid a tight

A wide armhole causes the blouse to
be pulled out of place at the waist

In sewing piece OF bias material
