Here's a Model
Menu for the Week
(By Virginia Carter Lee

ply
Tuesday is arranged as the beefless
day, this plan being followed by many
of the hotels and also on the dining
cars. The housewife should remember
that when she plans for a wheatless
day it must really be an honest wheat
less day, when not a particle o. the
precious wheat flour is to be used for
even thickening sauce or gravy. This
reminder is given because we are so
in the habit of using spoonful of
wheat flour without thinking tina. we
are apt to do it unconsciously.
In the tomato soup given on Mon
day, the instant tapioca-that requires
no soaking-is used for thickening.
This ingredient is very helpful for
such purpose, but l would suggest
that the sauce or gravy be cooked in
q double boiler, so that there will be
no possibility of it's scorching.
Five fish meals have been arranged
for during the week The corn and
oyster fritters given on Tuesday COM
bine fish and vegetable in a most ap-
petizing manner In this recipe, as
only nine oysters are required, half
pint of the shellfish will be sufflci-
emit Add the scalded liquor to the
vegetable soup, served at the same
meal, and you will notice decided
improvement in the flavor.
The macarOni and celery pie, for
Fridays luncheon, is another palata-
bic and rather unusual dish, the adj
dition of the seasoned sauce and the
grated cheese giving it a piquant
flavor. A dish of this kind that is in
expensive helps to equalize the other
table expenses of the week and keeps
the household budget within the pre-
scribed limit
Purchases at the butchers during
the week include one pound and a
quarter of veal kidney at 40 cents a
pound a roast forequarter of mutton,
weighing four pounds, at 80 cents a
pound; a quarter of a pound of salt
pork at 80 cents a pound, and one
three-pound steak at 35 cents a pound.
At the fish market, two pounds of
Spanish mackerel at % cents a pound;
a pint and a half of scallops at 60
cents a quart; one pint and a half of
oysters at so cents a quart, and one
pound and a quarter of pan fish at Is
cents a pound.
Two pounds of butter, for table use
only, at SO cents a pound; half a
pound of margarine at 80 cents a
pound; seventeen eggs at 62 cents a
dozen; six quarts of milk at IA cents
a quart; one pint of buttermilk at Z
cents, and two quarter pints of
cream at IL cents each will be neces-
sary to follow the menus as given.
The figures for the marketing should
run at about the following approx
mate prices:
