kkNOME, children, stop your noise
and take seats at the table.
There's a time for every
thing, you know. and you've had good
romp. John, stop fooling with the
cat. Come, James and Henry and Isaac
Isabel, bring up Sarah's high-chair and
help me lift her in. William and Mary,
if you don't stop your giggling this min
ute neither of you shall have any din
ner. Richard, be more quiet moving
YOUR chair to the table. And that also
applies to you, Obed."
Just a little old last century family
that's all. Ten children, if we have
counted correctly; but one more or one
less made but slight difference in those
DAYS. A house with, say, only three or
four children was almost as lonely and
blighted as the mysterious Miss Haver-
sham's in Great Expectations. g. An
other mouth to feed was cause for re-
ioicing. Feed, in fact, was so plentiful
that there were not always mouths
enough to go round.

THE SECRET OF LARGE FAMILIES
is NO SECRET AT ALL

Which, of course, brings US to the
question. why were oldtime families so
large? And likewise to the answer, or
TO one very important answer, because
living was cheap. Baby's pap was
cheap and grandpa's broth was cheap
and everything for everybody in be-
tween was cheap. And it may be Just
as we'll to say right here that any mod
ern housekeeper who has a weak heart
had better not read any further. Or
else have handy in tumbler thirty
drops of aromatic ammonia in little
water.

enty-fve or eighty years ago. 1t Is
Saturday morning and the young wife
(vour great-grandmother) is thinking
about her marketing She is still
trife inexperienced, and an occasional
delve into the pages Of "The Frugal
American Housewife" helps her to get
the most for her money. "The Frugal
American Housewife" was dedicated
TO those who were not ashamed Of
economy" and by 1850 it had reached
it's thirty-second edition; this paren-
thetically.
Your great-grandmother turns brisk
" the pages till she comes to the chapter
on Choice of Meat, a very important
chapter from a housekeeping viewpoint.
Let us look over great-grandmother's
shoulder. and see what it is she reads:
"If people wish to be economical the
chapter opens, they should take some
pains to ascertain what are the cheap
est pieces of meat to buy; not only those
which are cheapest in price, but those
which go farthest when cooked. That
part of mutton called the rack, which
consists of the neck and a few of the
rib bones below, is cheap food. 1t is not
more than four or five cents pound
Have the ammonia handy.
And four pounds will make a
dinner for six people. If your family be
small. a rack of mutton will make you
two dinners-broth once, and mutton
chop with few slices of salt pork for
another; if your family consists of six
or seven, you can have two dishes for
