Where Economy Fails.

Men like economy in their domestic arrangements, but if there is one woman most of them fear and despise it is the wretch who Jias all sorts of recipes for making cheap dishes out of scraps. She comes fluttering into the domestic dovecotes early in the day. “My dear Mrs. 8.. such a recipe—the cheapest, most dee-11-cious dish imaginable. Any housekeeper can make this salad. An old gum shoe or remnant of mackintosh dressed with oil. vinegar, and 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

has 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 he ever gets out again. If the men of the neighborhood had their way they would put a large dose of rough-on-rats 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 Times.
