"I don't know," he answered shortly.
"Somehow or other," Deborah said, "we've got to cut our expenses down."
"I'm afraid that's impossible," Edith rejoined. "I've already cut as much as I can."
"So did I, in my school," said her sister. "And when I thought I had reached the end, I called in an expert. And he showed me ways of saving I had never dreamed of."
"What kind of expert would you advise here?" Edith's small lip curled in scorn.
"Domestic science, naturally—I have a woman who does nothing else. She shows women in their homes just how to make money count the most."
"What women? And what homes? Tenements?"
"Yes. She's one of my teachers."
"Thank you!" said Edith indignantly. "But I don't care to have my children brought down to tenement standards!"
"I didn't mean to have them! But I know she could show you a great many things you can buy for less!"
