not have the range of choice that Is yours when you talk with the meat merchant face to face and make him understand exactly what you mean.
 My own recent experience has confirmed me in my thories on this matter. For ex- ample, learned not long ago the full mer- Its of a knuekle of veal. had always been familiar with it's use in soup making, but had usually had 1t cracked, and bones and meat were so much mixed after cook ing that the latter was of little value. This summer I experimented with good results A knuckle of veal. costing 20 cents, was sent home uncracked. (Having gone to market myself, I had chosen one with good deal of meat on it) put this over the fire with liberal bunch of soup herbs onion, celery, psrsley-covered all with cold water, set the pot at the back of the fire and simmered 1t slowly for several hours; took it off and let the meat get cold in the stock
 So far all had gone by the soup process But the next morning l made difference. I cut the meat from the bone and divided it into neat pieces, cracked the bones. and put them back with the stock for further simmer To a cupful of the liquor l added salt and pepper to taste and tablespoon full of minced parsley and heated in this the cubes of stewed veal. If you have never tried this do 1t now and see If you will not vote this simple and inexpensive dish al- most as savory and good as a stew of chicken.

T~HE cookery of cheap cuts of meat has
 engaged the attention of our house.
 keepers of late and many recipes for making appetizing products Of mex
 pensive pieces have been given. It occurs to me now to ask how you buy these same cheap cuts. How do you market?
 Telephone marketing has increased tre- mendously during the last few years and the profits of the meat merchants have increased in direct ratio to the number Of their telephone orders. do not mean to say that there are not many honest sellers of meat, who do not intentionally cheat their customers. But when woman or ders more or less at random over the tele- phone; when she leaves the choice Of the cuts she wishes good deal to the discre- ton of the butcher, when she states that she would like :. about six or seven pounds :" the man at the other end of the wire would be A phenomenon If he did not make his selections for his advantage rather than for hers If she will not take the trouble to come to market and pick out what she wants why should he consume time and effort in economizing for her to his own loss?
 While marketing by telephone Is possibly the most costly method giving the order 10 the man who comes for 1t makes good second You may talk to him decidedly and tell him just how much or how little you want, but your order is only one of many 10 him, and when he gets back to the shop you take your chances along with the rest and you have no security that you may not get underwelght or overcharge.

shopping through him as a commuter and forget to ask how much they owe him, etc. More than one reader has written of too long for our limits bits of advice tha. may be helpful to sundry sufferers from their own good nature and the advantage taken of 1t by willy women:
 ITO Mrs. E. L. M:

The cloying sweetness of that kittenish chit of forty eight summers. with her praise of that

Take an old woman's advice and lay before these public pests facts and figures in pleas ant. business-llke manner; have a settle ment of every cent they owe their errand boy wipe off the slate. and never again suffer such imposition under the name of friendly offices asked by them and rendered by your husband.

and use 1t for stuffing green peppers or tomatoes or stale rolls from which you have scraped the soft inner crumb, or for serving on toast with garnish of bacon.
 But" you will say. don't want so much meat at once. have no place to keep itl
 Your butcher will keep 1t for you and send 1t home as you need it. Perhaps you want the roasting shoulder now and the stew meat from the neck. Then ask him to put the chops and the rolled breastin his ice box for you and break the lamb sequence by fish or something else. so that your fam fly will not feel they are being " lamhed to death"
 Another good purchase which you can make If you choose it yourself is leg of lamb cut into two pieces One end has the chops, and these may either be made into roast. all in one cut. or may be divided and broiled or cooked in a casserole. The other piece of the leg Is to be roasted and Is good either hot or cold.
 In getting veal other than the knuekle. choose the breast if you wish to.economize. You may have the bones cut from this-be sure to have them sent home for soup-in which case you may roll the veal with stuffing inside for a roast or you may have pocket made in the veal to fill with stuff ing and roast 1t unrolled, covering the top with thin slices of salt pork to keep the outer surface of the meat from becoming hard and dry in the long cooking this meat demands. One great advantage of veal Is the possibility of using 1t over. since 1t Is good cold, with a salad or with catchup. or it may be made into curry. or salmi. or mince, or croquettes and be good in all.
 l hesitate to say much about beef now that its price makes 1t almost out of the question for those who have to economize. I am reminded of the young man of slender means who asked his newly won iancee: Darling. will you go out to dinner with me and have a nice planked steak-or would you prefer a diamond rlng?"
 We all know the uses to which chopped beef may be put in Hamburg steak, to broil or to fry or to bake In a loaf, but some of us still cling by preference to the un-
