 There are other such dishes which it is worth while to study out, especially the use of left overs of meat or fish when mixed with less costly materials. so that the item of decided taste fiavors the whole without bringing up the price perceptibly. I am sure many of you can send me sug- gestions which are the result of your own experience and which will be of value to others.
 I have spoken of the small leaks which should be checked. They are more numerous than like to think In view of the need for saving. One of the most striking of these Is the way in which the water Is wasted in which vegetables are cooked Put less water with the vegetables and save that to serve as basis for soups. to use with stews. to make into sauces which will help you to compound made dishes. The water in which rice is boiled is so rich in starch that 1t will jelly when allowed to cool and yet this is usually turned down the sink So is the water in which macaronl or spaghetti has been cooked.

 Green vegetables which have been boiled have parted with many of their most valuable properties when the water is poured off of them before dressing and serving them. What Is left is fiber and starch chiefly: the best fiavoring, the salts. etc., have been thrown out. Try cooking your vegetables in less water and saving this for soup, or cook the more succulent varieties in a double boiler without water, or steam them and you will notice the improvement in taste. You will have more nourlshment and more savor than you did in cooking them by the old method.
 Cut down a little on desserts and your purse and your health will be bettered. When we spent winter in Italy some years ago. keeping house in our own apartment. we found made desserts so expensive because of the high tax on sugar that we dispensed with this item of the meal except on rare occasions. It's place was taken by fresh fruit when we could get it reasonably, such drled fruits

was talking of this the othee day with a friend who has the habit of inviting people to dinner frequently.
 :" won't give up my dinners" she said. but the friends who come needn't ex- pect any frills. 1 have always had nuts and candies and olives on the table at dinner and until began to try to save I had no Idea how they ran up. If there were to be haf dozen people here I would often spend a dollar or more on little frills before I began to pay for the solids. This winter l mean to cut out extras and to come down to three courses, When we have soup we won't have salad and when we have salad we will omit soup. Or else we will have salad and cheese with our coffee and leave off the dessert. If our guests come for what they get to eat they will stay away after one experience, but If they accept a second time I shall know they come for us and not for the food"
 Here is one of the ways in which ex- penses can be reduced. The cry among dieticians now Is that we all eat tco much and there Is no doubt that lavish ness has been too much the order in many tbldDllbDInSulS. tSpeCldly Nntn enter taining was lone.

main approximately near the prevailing styles.
 So don't worry if you cannot feel justi- fled in purchasing a new outfit this win xer but must make last years do. Wear out the old frocks before you buy new ones and don't keep a variety of half worn dresses hanging In the closet while you are struggling to get new ones. Use up what you have. and if they are abso- lutely past service try to see what can be done in the way of combining cou- pie of the old garments. I believe num- bers of women make the mistake of get ting and keeping too many clothes
 Some years ago knew sensible wom- an who said she never kept more than two frocks on hand at time. She had one for afternoon wear on the street and when that began to wear a little she took it Into daily service and bought new one for best Then she contented her self with the two until the older one was worn out. when the younger came into every day wear. Of course she kept pretty frocls to have when she was in- vited out to party of any sort. but as a rule the two suffioed her, She had young children and was closely kept at her home duties. so that she felt 1t was waste of money and time to buy num- Der of frocks because she might some time need one of them.
 Another young woman I know might be said to live on contingencies. since she is constantly making additions to her wardrobe on the chance of reQuir- Ing one of them. She must have a thea ter frock ready, lest she might be in- yited to a theater party. evening dresses because there is a possibility of being asked to a dinner or a dance, a travel ing frock, because she plans later to run away for week end trip. etc. Some times these events occur. sometimes they don't, and she has a collection of frocks that are not at all justified by her cir cumstances and habits
 Don't we all do this thing. more or less? Have you not clothes hanging in your closet which you arc saving for possible occasions while you are plan ming to buy new garments to have them? Look over what you have and see if you can't make the present possessions do and save tho price of the new ones to put somewhere else. to lay aside against later need or to give for the sake of those whose necessities are far greater than yours.
 l think myself that we could have satisfactory symposium with regard to the various economies we have evolved and put into practical conference which would be of value to all our Cornerites. Will not you who have studied out such means of saving help to make the dis cussion success by writing to me and telling me how you have learned economy?

You can imagine my disappointment Is there any one in your Corner who does not care particularly for the embroidery patterns in newspapers and would send me the Corner and the embroidery page each week? I would, of course, pay the postage. I do not see the page regu- larly. but am always most interested in the Corner. K. T."
 I hope some one may be able to grat- fly this request. I trust also that some one may enlighten me as to what a casabba really is. It sounds interest ing and am quite ashamed to confess my ignorance as to whether it Is fruit or a flower. I know the cassaya or manioc. but do not think that and the casabba are one and the same.

oW are you going to econonize
 this winter? Perhaps you will tell - me that you have already been as q saving as possible and that you
 see no place where you can re- trench further. know how carefully the majority of you look to the ways of your household; how you study ways and means and try to stop wastes. Yet this terrible war which is throwing men out of work. raising the prices of necessities. and reducing incomes everywhere means that we women must devote all our ener- gies to bringing down current expenses. How are you planning to set about it?
 As matter of course every household knows its own extravagances and where 1t Is possible to cut even little. The size of the revenue is of little importance in such cases. since all economies are relative. The woman who must give up her box at the opera because of loss on Investments feels herself as badly treated as the one who must put patch in the linoleum in her kitchen or work on the bare boards. Each one of us must de- eide for herself where the retrenchment must take place, but believe that if we talk the matter over we may devise ways and means for economies which will not Do felt too severely. or may discover small leaks which may be stopped.
 To begin with the table, since 1t Is here that waste Is most likely to take place and that saving can be effected by Ju- dicious buying and using. The cost of meat has led many families to fall into the excellent habit of serving 1t only once day. Many are the substitutes which may be offered at other repasts. Fish is the first that suggests itself. and this may be cooked in enough different ways to supply variety that will prevent the eaters from wearying of this kind of food So long as eggs are comparatively cheap they can be served in one form or an other. but when they go up in price we must look about us for other substantials to take their place.
 There are more of these than you would think at first. Cheese is the best and this can be prepared in numerous combi- nations. The cheese pudding or fondu in which cheese is combined with milk and bread crumbs and couple of eggs is one of the incest of such dishes; nearly as good and cheaper Is the baked Welsh rabbit or baked bread and cheese, when thin slices of cheese are laid on slices of bread, these arranged in alternate lay CTS in pudding dish. milk poured over all. and the compound baked covered for twenty minutes. uncovered and drowned

 :" In one of the best kept houses have .ever been in have seen as many as three dishes on the floor for the dogs to eat from. and these same dishes were yashed among the other dishes without even a first rinsing. In this same well kept house I saw the housekeeper use milk pail to hold the water for mopping the floor when there were plenty of i'd vos- sells no longer of service in cookery which would have answered just as well.
 Another thing I have noticed is that the sink in which the dishes are washed sometimes is used sort of catchall. The same place is used to rinse salad for the table and to wash soiled dishes and even articles of clothing.

Of course the pots were kept on shelves by themselves and turned upside down on clean paper. Her pots were kept on the floor in the pantry oi in an old box where mice or ants could run over them as easily as not. yet she thought her way better than mine. -lso. am of the opinion that a dishcloth which is used to wash glasses and dishes Is none too good to wash pots with I do not mean that the outside of black pot should be secured with the same cloth used to clean the inside, but do feel We should be as careful about the cloths used for washing cooking utensils as those from which we eat. I would like to hear more on this subject and know how other housekeepers feel about 1t and what pains they take to keep their food stuffs clean l.. M. s."
 It would be interesting to know how housekeepers stand on this point. can not agree with the correspondent that any house is well kept " in which such carelessness Is displayed as that he de- scribes in her letter.
