the steak la tartare for Monday
and small roast chicken or duck
for Sunday instead of the lamb.
Remember, too, that there may be
little lccway on the strict budget
weekly, when doubtless Mondays
dinner may take the form of good
curry or other made dish, without
drawing materially on the food en-
velopc for the following week.
Low Cost Recipes
Here are attractive dishes for the
main part of meal as we'll as dcs-
serts. Simple foods are combined at
tractively with regard to nutritive
value, delectability and low cost.
They also show that even on a small
budget variety is possible.
Steak la Tartare
Scrape the pulp from the fibcrs of
half a pound Of round steak and
chop the pulp with quarter of a
pound Of beef marrow very fine.
Chop half green pepper and a
minced slice of onion and cook in
tablespoonful of hot bacon fat until

By Virginia Carter Lee

very interesting letter addressed
to the Institute, asking if two
good meals could be served for two
persons daily on six days in the
week, emitting Sunday, at cost of
50 for the entire budget. This sum
was the partial food allowance on a
monthly income of $3.50, or, in other
words, the allowance for twelve
meals for two persons a week.
Every housekeeper knows that in
arranging her housekeeping budget
she may increase some of the items
and lower others to suit individual
needs. The food must be kept up to
standard, varying little from time to
time, and on the income given above
at least 25 per cent, or even 30,
would not be out of proportion. This
percentage would be much higher
than the 50 amount allotted by our
correspondent.
In the menus planned for the com
ing week we have taken up the ques-
ton in detail, realizing that this
problem may be interesting to many
couples or single women who are
housekeeping together. In our
hn i
for fourteen meals, or two meals for
each day in the week, including
Sunday, as this represents a more
usual condition.
The question of planning two
meals daily is far harder PROPOSE
ton than the regular breakfast,
luncheon and dinner, as frequently
the home luncheon may be arranged
for very low cost, while the one
eaten away from home, even at a
cafeteria, quickly runs into "real''
money. This must be carefully
borne in mind and a certain sum
allowed each person daily for this
purpose. This, of course, must be
deducted from the total food allow
ance. Do not make the mistake of
buying eXtravagant hotel meals and
then "scrimping" on the home table.
Nothing will SO quickly make one
heartsick of housekeeping.
twenty-five per cent of $3.50
monthly is $62.5O or about $2.06
day and S14.42 weekly. This
would be ample if all meals were
eaten at home, but allowing the
minimum of 35 to 90 cents each
daily for the purchased lunch, it
leaves only $10.22 at the most for
the other fourteen meals. The third
meal on Sunday is not counted, as
there are usually leftovers for a
simple luncheon or supper. A 35-
cent lunch means, of course, only a
beverage or soup, a sandwich and
fruit.
This can be done, but it will re-
quIre very close figuring and buy
ing, to say nothing of good cooking.
For instance. if the present weeks
menus are followed, some of the first
courses will have to be omitted,
cheaper desserts served, or some
other little saving effected.
Serving the menus exactly as they
are given, | have allowed 26 per
cent of the income, or sos monthly,
This with the luncheon money de-
Quoted leaves $10.99 weekly, or
practically $11 for the table.
Ways and Means
In planning menus for two where
the luncheon is omitted it is pre-
sumed that both members of the
~S-:s" ere employed in =ome pro
Tession or branch of work away
from home, and the meals arc SO ar
ranged that all the dinners with
the exception Of Sunday can be pre-
pared and cooked within three-quar-
ters of an hour. This may seem to
the inexperienced as an impossible

"a "a HAT possible connection,
wv you will wonder, could
there be between the
launching of the first balloon, a
hundred and twenty years ago, and
the modern art of interior decora-
tion?
The Montgolfier brothers
Frenchmen, of course, constructed
the first aerostatic globe or balloon
In 1888 and made number of as
cents from the Champs de Mars
and the Bois in Paris and from Ver-
saillcs and other cities in France,
on occasions notable, not only be-
cause of the Importance of the in
vention but for the brilliance of
the gatherings which witnessed the
trial flights.
These were the gay, insouciant
days of Louis XIV, long enough be-
fore the Revolution for people still
to have leisure, wealth and enthu-
siasm to take up the latest fad.
At first people were alarmed at
the strangeness of the sight of men
sailing away in the air. But when
they understood what they were
they went mad about balloons
became bal-lunatic, as some one
said. They talked of nothing else {;
they symbolized balloons in every
thing they did. They wore bal
looms on their buttons, little bal
looms on their slippers instead of
buckles, balloon effects in their
skirts, their sleeves, their hats and
knickerbockers. The women did
their hair in knots and wore it in
nets to resemble balloons.
Come with me to visit the an.
tique and interior decoration de-
partments of certain large New
York department store, and | will

FOREIGN MINIS
COMING SILVER

The announcement that the French
government was proceeding to re-
place the paper franc with one Of sill
yer was received with considerable
surprise and satisfaction. 1t is re-
ported that 40. 600 paper francs
have already been converted. The
total conversion is to be 30o.000.00
francs or about $4,000 900 ounces Of
silver Silver reserves Of the Bank
of France (september 15th) are
about 100000 ounces and were
about $4,000 600 to s0.000,o00 ounc-
es In 1914.
In the past two years about u.s.
600, 1000 ounces Of silver have been
sold In the London market, represent
ing metal secured through melting
down silver currency. The Russian
Soviet government was the first to
announce its intention to recon silver
rubles and 1t was reported In July
that 1t would proceed ON September
/ to coin about 100000 rubles daily.
According to the New York Times
the French government will try to
replace the 800. 100000 paper francs
by the end OF this year. This would
be dependent upon the ability Of the
French mint to handle this amount OF
coinage in this period Of time.
Total American origin silver at
the 81 an ounce net price purchased
by the Government this year and to
September 21st, amounts to 1880
430 ounces.
Japan, despite its efforts to place
Manchuria and Chosen on a gold bas-
is, appears to be more interested in
the silver market. For the first seven
months Of this year 1t purchased $2,-
s42.500 (value) against but $4,000
in the same period last year. 1t Sc
cured $2,10s,3S8 silver. in this coun-
try, January to July 31st.
Silver movements for the first ten
days OF September. reported by the

excess exports. India was the largest
buyer with $1.025,464; Great Britain
