"MASCULINE HELP’
More men are now doing the family marketing than before the war. There are several reasons for this—more wives at work, more legwork required to go out and find and fetch the food, fewer deliveries, etc. And how do the men make out? Well, it is all pretty heartening. By and large, they do very well indeed. Butchers, grocers, and delicatessen dealers generally agree that the man shopper knows what he wants, often has a list prepared, and handles his transactions with a minimum of fuss and fccthers. No fiddling around, no pinching the fruit, no haggling. If he car.’t find exactly what he wants he will take something else, even if it costs more. Ho is not afraid to make experiments with unfamiliar delicacies which may catch his eye. He may spend too much money, throwing the family budget out of the kilter—but what of it? —(New York “Herald- Tribune.”)
