in the opinion Of some, it is the be-

The cost per meal per person. Is
only so cents. A delivery charge Of
10 cents is made for having the food
brought to the back doors OF the
home. hot and ready to serve.
The actual procedure is about as
follows. A menu Is prepared with
varied and well-balanced meals. The
housewives telephone the kitchen
with their orders. Shortly before s p.
m.. dinners. prepared and waiting in
heated containers. are placed In
market baskets. Provision is made to
keep hot and cold foods in their de-
sired state while delivery boy

A menu card is placed in each
basket. together with salad Dress
ing, sauce for the dessert and but
ter for the vegetables. Soup is trans
ported in vacuum bottles and salads
in aluminium containers. Bread and
butter and beverages are not includ-
ed.
Not every family patronizes the
kitchen every night. A sort of rotat-
ing schedule is in effect. Many OF the
patrons are mothers seeking to COM
bine home making with teaching or
other work. They are enthusiastic
over the occasional relief from plan
ming and preparing dinners and
often make it point TO have din
