Young Wives Should Remember.

That necessities should be selected before decorative articles of furniture. That it is not wise to provide too manypots, kettk's, and pans when lurnisiilng a kitchen. That it is always decidedly cheaper in the end to buy only good carpets ar.d pood furniture. That, no matter how tiny the income, a small s-um should be put aside regularly for the proverbial rainy day. That a simple dinner, well served, is decidedly more enjoyable than an elaborate dinner poorly served. That a practical knowledge of "economy of good cookery" will be absolutely necessary for the young housewife, no matter how much ''help" she can afiord to keep. That all bills for marketing should be paid weekly, or, better fctill, v.hen ti.e articles are bought. That, with caie and economy, r miall amount of money will do wonder*. That is it important to be systematic in looking after the left-overs. That all cold vegetables and scraps of meat may be used m soups and salads and croquettes, and many appetising ways too numerou-. to mention. That '"where there's a will there's a way,"' even if the means are limited.
