In the days when prices were lower

of just what food was going to be
served at that Sunday dinner-the
meal that Is the biggest one Of the
week In most families.
But today Mrs. Housewife buye diff
ferently. Higher prices and the adj
vancement Of the culinary art to a
science has caused this change In hex
method of buying.
She does her buying as systematical-
ly as she does her cooking. She knows
pretty well in advance just what is 60
ing to grace the table for that Sunday
dinner. She plans it well and she
knows just the exact amount of vege-
tables, -four, eggs and the many,
many other necessary things, needed
to make that dinner success-and she
takes just as much pride in making
that dinner a success as her husband
does IN making his business success,
After the dinner has been planned
she starts her buying systematic
buying. She knows that the wide
awake grocers and butchers advcr-
tise so she looks to their stores as the
place where she can find the best quail
ity at the best price. She knows, too.
