Proud Day When

HER DAYS DIARY

This is the diary OF a Wilmington
woman for this morning:
u cleared away the breakfast dishes
bright and early, so as 10 hurry down
TO King street market. Il is such nice,
cool weather. that l thought I would
put i'm the day canning and preserving.
There were some flne-loOking currants,
quite a lot Of them, but when / heard
they were % cents a box, ! hcsitated.
You could only get about three glasses
OF Jelly out of one box. Cherries ana
black and red raspberries were just the
same. think I'll wait little before
1 put any up. 4 few Of the fruit
stands had tempting blucberrics, but
they were 32 cents a box; farther up
the street ! found exactly the sans
quality OF them for 80 cents. ! did
buy a box Of blackberrics for supper,
they looked so good; they were the
merry price Of p cents. Peaches were
lacking on the farmers stands. but the
friitmcn had them at 20 cents for 0
box OF about ten small specimens,
green at that.
Il decided / wouldn't put up any
fruit. but would can vegetables in
stead: but ] passed by the tomatoes
at Is cents for about six Of them. !
met Mrs. B., who was wearing new
sweater she Just finished knitting a day
ago. She said she was going to can
string beans. The market was full OF
them at IS cents down below Fourth
street and 20 cents per quarter peck for
exactly the same kind above SIKH
street. Alice c. came along with hef
basket full OF green peas, for which she
said she paid 20 cents a quarter peck.
Believe me, though. that family OF
mine has got TO go easy on the butter
and eggs. or I'll substitute margarine
and eggplants for the menu. Butter Is
30 and IS cents a pound, and so are eggs,
only eggs by the dozen. There were
some plump squads. only 40 cents
apiece: likewise. chickens for 81 and
$3.50 l was pleased with the beets, trm.
Juicy punches for 10 cents a bunch OF
six or eight. The lettuce is also con-
soling: ! got two nice heads Of 1t for
; cents. The last thing ! squeezed into
the basket was a big and festive bunch
of black-eyed Susans, which viii
brighten up the house more than the
dimes worth that they cost.
This afternoon / am going over TO the
Rcd Cross TO make surgical dressings.
and | must see IL can't match the
trimming on my new taffeta at one Of
the stores on my way | hope Sarah
doesn't forget to bring that new oat-
meal macarOon recipe.
