Bridal Economy.

Young Housewife—“l want a cake of yeast—compressed yeast, I think it is called. How much is it?” Grocer—“ Two cents, ma’am.” Young Housewife—“ And is that the least expensive you have? Husband said I must economize wherever I can. And I don’t like yeast anyway. Haven’t you some that’s cheaper than that, perhaps?” Grocer —“Yes, ma’am, we have some here that was left over from last week. You can have a cake of that for one cent.” Young Housewife—“ You may send it round. Husband says a penny saved is two pence earned. Oh, if you haven’t got some of those delicious Japan preserves! I just dote on them! How much are they, please?” Grocer —“Two dollars a jar, ma’am.” Young Housewife—“Oh, if Jack likes them half as well as I do, how delighted he will be! Just send me half a dozen jars, please, when you send round the yeast. That’s all to-day.” Grocer —“Yes, ma’am. ” —Somerville Journal.
