! GO MANY brides are asking for help
~ that | feel | must try to plan some
menus and marketing trips that will
aid them to solve the high cost of liv-
fling. Today | received letter from a
newlywed who said that her husband
I dearly loves rice. so she placed some
water in a saucepan and added the rice ;
; IL looked so dry that she turned 1t into
ia larger pot aud added moro water.
and then she said she had enough rice
gto feed whole village aud would !
please tell her some way to cook this
cereal
] think the story Of Il bride : expo
riencr in cooking rice has been told nS
one of the standard jokes on brides, but
today when this letter came felt that
lit was no Joke. but n real tragedy.
Just think. the one time in the bride $
life when she really tried to put forth
| her best effort she is in a wild dilemma
las to the proper method of cooking the
necessary food to keep body and soul
I together.
Statistics show that nine out of every
Fifteen marriages fail because the wife
( is failure in her own home. Think
: this over. mothers, aud then give the
/ growing girls a chance. Sec that each
] girl has a real opportunity to learn, to
make good. plain. substantial foods.
The hardest problem for the young
wife is inst how much food to cook for
7 her husband and herself, so with this
I idea in view lot us plan Il menu that
swill include the marketing for several
days. ~
