Dear Miss Grey:
/ believe | have the better
of the Housewife" sure.
My husband is a hard
working shingle weaver. We
have five children, three go
to school, and our grocery
bill is never $40. We live on
an average of one dollar a
day; some months $35. That
includes everything in the
line OF groceries. We have
not much fresh meat, but
smoked. We have a great
deal of sweets: cake, pie and
cookies. 1t requires good
management to feed a large
family on less than $40 a
month.
We are all well and hearty.

LlTTERATEUR HARD AT WORK
Ordinary Mortal Had to Wait While
Budding Genius Secured Founda-
tion for Story.

A Brooklyn drug clerk tells Of
man who came into his shop for the
purpose of consulting the directory.
He stood first on one foot and then
on the other, watching the young
woman who had got possession of the
volume. She was nice, leisurely
sort of young person, and she had a
large sheet of paper that she spread
out upon the counter beside the direc-
tory, and or which she now and then
inscribed a name from the volume.
The man became little impatient.
He coughed significantly, and the
young woman turned to look at him.

do you wish to consult the directory"
Now, as the young woman was pref
ty, the man shifted from one foot to
the other and said uneasily: mo

Whereupon she resumed the direc-
tory. Several minutes elapsed. At
last she closed the book with sigh
of satisfaction. Thank you," said
she, sweetly. 'T am afraid have

This must imply that, Immediately

MAKES A SPLENDID DESSERT
Housewives Should Learn mors About
the Possibilities Of the F1~m-
Bile Chestnut.

Few women are aware what deli
cious deserts may be made with the
humble little chestnuts. French
cooks know the worth Of chestnuts
full well. and their recipes are justly
celebrated.
For chestnut mousse. a delicacy ut
Tor the gods. or luncheon de luxe,
shell and blanch about two cupfuls OF
chestnuts which have been boiled until
tender. Rub the chestnuts through a
sieve. and stir them carefully into a
pint OF whipped cream. TO which have
been added half cupful of powdered
sugar and a teaspoonful II vanilla ex-
tract Add two teasponfCis NJ maras-
chino cordial. turn into a mold and
pack away in ice and salt fos five
hours. Serve with whipped cream
dashed with rum.
To make marrons glaces, delicacy
that is rather costly when bought at
confectioner's, yet which is of great
value to the housekeeper who loves
tasteful garnishing, select large, per-
feet chestnuts. Shell and simmer a
pint Of the nuts in boiling water until
tender. Drain and toss into cold water
to make them firm. Let the chestnuts
drain moment, then turn them out
on towel and see that each one is
thoroughly dry. A strip must now be
made by boiling a cup of sugar in
pint of water, and in this simmer the
chestnuts for an hour. Drain of the
strip and to 1t add few drops Of
vanilla extract. Then cook 1t until 1t
becomes brittle when dropped in cold
water-as one tries candy. Set the pan
of strip ia larger pan of hot water
to keep the hot strip from cooling and
candying, and dip in the chestnuts one
by one. removing them and placing on
oiled paper
