today as / had in this house l am de-
scribing. It was a Sunday dinner, and
perhaps a little better than the ord nary
meals, but it was quite as good as any
You could serve in your home. We had
a soup. a fish and a roast, with an entree
or so, ending with coffee, Swiss cheese,
X :;
The most of the food came from the
commissary department. which is practl-
cally the only source of supply. Uncle
Sam runs big grocery store here, and he
furnishes about all the food that his
81. COO employees have to eat. He has
a catalogue and price list of everything,
and the prices are usually far below those
of the states. For instance, the roast
beef we had on the table came from
Chicago. 1t was brought down frozen
stiff in cold storage, and the price de-
Ivered at the house was 90 cents a pound.
You would do well to get such beef in
your home market, and YOU would have
to pay 30 cents at the least. The butter
was excellent. 1t was not nearly SO high
priced as at home, and my hostess told
tables are cut almost in half This Is
especially so with articles imported from
Europe. We had as a salad some Ger
man asparagus of the kind which costs
30 cents a can in the states. 1t Is sold
here by the government for 20 cents a
can. We had also some delicious French
pear, which cost one-third what they do

quite as large. and on the other side of
the living room is big dining room with
a china closet built into the wall. There
is also drying room of about the size
OF an ordinary hall bedroom, which has
an electric stove to keep the clothes from
mo,ding during the wet season. and on
the opposite side of this is kitchen.
The house has also shower bath and
other modern conveniences.
X
The furniture Of the house Is all sup
piled by Uncle Sam. 1t is simple, as i
should be in the tropics. There are wick
err chairs, including rockers. lounges,
tables and stools, and the beds are as
good as at any first-class hotel The
kitchen has a refrigerator and an iron
cook stove 1t has porcelain sink. with
plenty of fresh water from the Panama
water works, and a garbage can, which
is empt:ed daily by Uncle Sans men. The
light IS electric, and costs the housekeeper
nothing The only heat in the house is
that of the cook stove, and this comes
from soft coal furnished free by the gov
eminent and put in without charge. One
feature of the kitchen is the little pans
of coal oil in which the legs of the re-
frigerator and of the kitchen table stand
These are to prevent the many kinds OF

at home. All things that are brought
here from abroad come in free of duty,
and as they are furn shed at only
little more than cost they are cheaper.
-
AS we ate asked the lady of the house
to tell me how she is supplied. She said:
I'VE live from hand to mouth, but in
some respects we are very much better off
than at home, and in others / like our
home ways the better. We are, in fact
soc alists, with Uncle Sam as the governor.
All Of our food comes from the govern
ment stores, and 1t is from them that our
bread, our ice, our meat and even our
clothes are obtained. The ice is delivered
every morning and put into the icebox.
The coal is rrou- mt to the ms, the bread
is left at the door. and it is the same with
our clothes or anything that we order.
Our orders are made by means of COM
missary books. which we have the right
to buy up to go per cent of our salar es.
We cannot get book, however, until the
salary Is earned, and if we should run
out of book at the latter par, of the
month we have rather close forage. as
you cannot buy anything from Uncle Sam
except with these books This is the only
place I know of where you cannot pay
money to get things. The only legal
tender is one Of the books.
WELL" continued the lady, 'all Our or
ders have to be made the day before
they are filled. The government has its
regular order man, who comes around
every morning and takes note of the sup
plies that we need. We have to pay the
order man in advance for all We order,
and he leaves a copy of the order with

through the professional shoppers.
They send in their measurements and
the gowns and other things are sup
piled on approval. The woman who
does the shopping in the United States
gets 10 per cent on all that she buys
but this commission comes out of the
merchant.
AS to wash dresses. many of them are
made here in the homes. Some OF the
Canal Zone women do sewing. and
there are a few Jamaica sewing girls
Panama and Colon. Linens are es-
pecially cheap. as Panama charges
ctcaliy no duty upon them. and the
same is true Of the beautiful grass
cloths known as Canton linens. which
are shipped here from China and sold
by the Chinese Silks of all kinds
are cheap, and especially silk stock
ings, shirt waists and skirts.
| am told that the cost of a woman's
than at home, and this for the reason
that she has to provide for only one
season. The people wear summer
clothes the year round, and they have
no use for tailormade suits, furs nor
costly garments of wool
AS to hats, there is, l believe, one
French m.l'iner. but most of the fancy
hats come in from the states. The most
popular everyday hat s the Panama or
jippi-jappi, pronounced hippi-happi. The
jipp jappi sold here is coarse. 1t is made
OF straw and shipped in from Ecuador
One can get a very fair one for s. or 81
whereas a broad-brimmed Panama. beau
tifully woven. will cost ST. SO or SO and
more. All of these hats are trimmed
to suit the taste of the wearer, and
often by the wearers themselves.
