THESE are only rev questions
that present themselves.
The food budget is one of thu
more important items. Food prob
ably takes a larger proportion Of
the income than any other item
of living. 1t Is a daily require
ment.
Certain items like rent, elec5ri
city, insurance and operating ex
penses remain the same month
after month.
ITEMS MAY VARY
The amounts for recreation, va
cations, clothes and food vary
From time to time in most house
holds, the pay check and the bills
won't balance and on these occa'
sions it is usually the food budget
that must change the ink from red
to black.
So our story on budgeting con.
centrates on that all-lmportant
item of food.
The U. S. Department of Agrl-
culture has published much good
material on minimum food re-
quirements for families on DIFF
ferent income levels. One bull
letin published last year, called
Diets to Fit the Family Income, "
worked out the food plan on retail
food prices.
It presents four diet plans that
should fit almost every pocketbook.
They are adapted to the size of the
family.
Such plans are excellent, for
they give minimum for spending.
They show how low you can drop
your food budget and still safe
guard health.
The plan is presented here for a
family of two moderately active
adults living on a salary of $1,000
per year. The requirements have
been worked out from material
found in these charts.
The food budget for two on this
salary Of $50 per week would be
SO to $40. This is 81 per cent of
the salary, or a food bill of $26 Is
per month. That may sound i'm

Il could imagine myself in
Venice, looking in one direction,
and in Greece or Rome, glancing
the other way. The music was
very satisfying, and the concerts
were cheap enough to invite a
friend and impersOnal enough for
a dyed.in-the-wOOl bachelor not to
be expected to propose on the way
home.
"NOw all this is over, because i
understand the fever Of politics
is contagious, and the rash has
extended from the boys on the
Hill to the musicians, leader or
hackers who have these affairs
in charge.
"And so we have to swelter in
the Nations Capital which is
pretty far behind the lighthouse,
as to musical events anyway. Why
have we no opera in the National

in Europe, seem to manage?

So we might as we'll do a little
remembering for you. and put
down here a list of suggestions
which you can run through, and
refresh your own lists and minds.
Let's divide things into groups
those for comfort, those for ap-
pearance, and those for necessity.
IN CASE OF COLD
If you're going to the noun
tains, remember it may be cool,
and, for appearance sake, take
along a good-looking knitted suit,
or a wool skirt and sweater. You
know what sort of a weekend you
will have, and what you will need,
SO our reminders include only a
topcoat, polo, tweed, or something
of the sort, and comfortable pair
Of walking shoes. If you will
swim, read further in the beach
suggestions for the necessities
along those lines.
No matter where you go, do not
forget your sun glasses. They will
add greatly to your comfort, at
any spot. And take a full cos
metic kit, for changes in atmos-
phere, water and habits will af-
feet your skin, and you're more
comfortable in spirit and fact If
you have your own things that
you can rely upon.
REMEMBER FIRST AIDS
Be sure you include in your
cosmetics assortment a box of tai
cum, preferably indicated, and
whatever you may need in the
way of first aid-iodine, alcohol,
small bandages if there are chill
dren along. It's wise, even in the
mountains, to have a sun lotion,
either to prevent or cure a burn,
and it's imperative if you are go
ing on the water. Nail cream is
a help at the beach, too, as salt
water wrecks your hands and nails.
