Many women who are extremely frugal in other things seem to have no idea of the value of time. Of their failure iu this direction a writer gives a. few examples: "Do you not know many homes where the supply of cooking utellBils is so uu_nece sarily limited that a good deal of time is daily wasted and much extra labor expended in prepariug the meals, by haviug to wash one saucepan in which to cook a second dish that could as well have beeu cook· 00. with the same fire, and watched o.t the same time as the first? Or a towel must do duty as strainer or colander, uo account being mo.de of the time required to wa.sh th e towel nor of its becoming woru or stained? Or a silver spoon is used to stir or lift food for the lack of iron or wooden ones? Why not afford such kettles and pans as .are rea11Y advantageous cookmg, and needed for ·save' in some other department? "Have yon ever seen some busy housewife hanging out clothes on a cold, windy day, taking off a clothes-pin each time o. garment is added to the line, trying to make the pin hold two aud sometimes three articles? Since good clothes-pius can be had for five cents per dozeu, it seems rather fa.rfetched saving to staud on the icy ground double the time really required to shake out and hang the clothes, and ruu the risk of taking cold while so doing.
