Economy in the Home

By Mrs. C. C. Lewis

MRS. C. C. LEWIS
Economy in the home consists in little savings. There are a few spoonfuls of potato left from dinner, and a little gravy. Neither seems worth saving; but, put together with a few pieces of stale bread, moistened with the remnant from the cream pitcher, with possibly an egg, a little salt, grated onion, and a pinch of sage, and baked twenty minutes, they will make a nourishing breakfast dish. An intelligent use of the “left-overs” is one of the small things that count for success in the home. There are few things more discouraging to the husband and father than to feel there are so many small leaks in the household economy that he can never get ahead.
