Conversation at the party yesterday
turned on Red Cross work and food
saving, as it always does these times
One of the society women said she had
heard so much about saving scraps of
bread that she had begun to feel like
a criminal if she gave a crumb to
the neighbors' chickens. Il tried this
economy trick of saving bread, she
said. ITO save a collection of dry
bread pieces you must dip it in milk.
and you know what milk prices are
these days; then you must use butter,
sometimes eggs, and then there are
spices and seasoning. and gas to cook
the mess, which must all be expended
to save a few little scraps of bread.
Even then you run the risk of not
having the dish touched by your fam
lily. l rise to ask where the economy
is to be discovered in that arrange
ment?"
