Where Economy Fails.

Men like economy in their domestic arrangements, but if there is one wonk an most of them fear and despise it is the wretch who has all sorts of recipes for making cheap dishes out of scraps. She comes fluttering into thq domestic dovecotes early in the day., “My dear Mrs. B„ such a recipe—the cheapest, most dee-li-cious dish imaginable. Any housekeeper can make this salad. An old gum shoe or remnant of machiutosh dressed with oil, vinegar aud paprika, or cream and lemon juice. I am confident your husband will go wild over it.” She is; right. He does. He goes so wild that after the doctor had gone home in the night and he is resting easy he asks who gave the recipe for that, salad and vows to shoot her on sight if ever he gets out again. If the men of the neighborhood had their way they would put a large dose of poison in the stocking of this fiend who teaches wives how to make palatable dishes out of gum, broken umbrellas, furniture polish and soiled awnings.— Louisville (Ky.)
