Lady Lecturer Says That Bridge Whist is to Blame.

Hammond Times. * “Bridge whist, afternoon teas, matinees and other social diversions are responsible for the high cost of living, not the scarcity of foodstuffs.” This analysis of present domestic conditions was made yesterday by Miss Ida May Pryce, who lectured to students from the Parker and River Forest high schools at the Armour packing plant. “God sends the food, but satan sends the cooks,” said Miss Pryce. “Vanity and false pride is the real trouble,” according to Walter J. Horst, a beef specialist of the Swift pricking plant.
