THURSDAY.
Mrs. Hooper found that the trades
people in Indianapolis were inclined to
take the same friendly interest in her
needs that she had found in Mayfeld.
Don't you use the telephone to do your
ordering ma am" asked the butcher as
she was making inquiries about having
her roast sent home on Saturday if she
selected it now.
Not if / can avoid It," answered Mrs.
Hooper. Il not only like to see what I
am buying, hut l have such an oppor-
tunity to change my mind and buy some.
thing that is cheaper and better than
what plan in my kitchen at home, when
l come right here and see what there Is
In the market"
That's right ma'am," agreed the
butcher sit would be a great mistake to
buy lamb this week. I'm terrible short
on it and what I have isn't really the
best quality as it happens and it's really
expensive. But Of course" he concluded;
Il could tell you that over the telephone
If you called me up"
Yes, but you probably wouldn't tell
me that you had those nice scraps Of
calves liver" answered Mrs. Hooper
looking at several pieces that had evil
IDENTIFY been left over when the liver had
been cut to use only the large slices.
How did you happen to cut that liver
that way7" inquired Mrs. Hooper.
"Oh a woman came In and wanted
eight slices Of liver all the same size be-
cause she wanted them to look "just
so" on the platter when they were cooked
because she was having company, so
I just had to cut into the middle OF
these good livers to get what she wanted
1t was fool proposition of course but
she's a good customer so I had to give
her what she wanted"
And Of course you made her pay
for IT," laughed Mrs. Hooper.
well that was no more than right
should say" answered the butcher de-
fensively. Il have all those ends on my
hands haven't IT"
NO you won't have because I'm CO.
ing to take them If you'll sell them
to me cheap" said Mrs. Hooper. Com
bined with bacon 1 can use them for
my dinner-but as 1t will be harder to
cook all those little pieces and make them
look like anything I ought to have
some recOmpense"
I'm be glad to let you have them
cheap" answered the butcher quickly,
Il don't want them on my hands, and
except that they won't make quite as
good a showing when you put them on
the table there just as good eating I'll
say"
Very well, I'll take all the calf liver
you have there" said Mrs. Hooper, "and
make a very good meal Of It,"
Il see what youmean now ma'am by
comm to the shop yourself replied the
butcher. "and I'll say that 1t pays. Now
If you're planning to make soup I have
all these ends Of meat and bones that
you can have for a real bargain"
IN take them" said Mrs. Hooper
promptly. I'm just getting my soup
stock pot started and that lot viii be a
splendid foundation
Mrs Hooper's marketing list also con-
tanned the things she always kept in re-
serve on her pantry shelf and which
she had not yet put in place. She was
spending on this su Of her surplus that
had been accommodating for over a month
in her food budget, so that she did not
have to dip into her weekly allowance
of twenty dollars. She ordered these
and the grocer promised TO send them
home tomorrow afternoon SO she could
urday.
Butter and eggs and milk she found
about the same price as they had always
been in Mayfeld at this time Of year,
and she arranged at the dairy supply
counter to have her delivery of these
things made and paid for by the week,
having the butter and eggs sent home
on Friday and the milk delivered every
morning.
