DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
[Another Husband Housekeeper, supplementing the information already published in The Daily Mail, reveals the system of housekeeping by enforcing which he saves pounds and pounds and pounds a year.]
When Sunday's heavy meal is done
Our joint's career is but begun.
Imprimis, undismayed and bold,
It reappears on Monday, cold.
And lo! the same on Tuesday will
Appear again, and colder still.
The odds and ends we keep in store,
Divided neatly into four.
A portion (No. 1) will do
For Wednesday's so-to-speak "ragoût";
A portion (No. 2) will be
The gist of Thursday's "fricassee";
A portion (No. 3) supply
The pith of Friday's "cottage pie";
A portion (No. 4) will play
The leading rôle on Saturday,
Entitled, may be, "à la russe,"
Or, better still, "anonymous."
Thus is economy attained,
For thus is appetite constrained.
