noon without the dire consequences
of leaving her family to shift for it­
self at meal time? It can be done
and it's a wise homemaker who ar­
ranges her schedule during the
pleasant summer weather, to allow
for a few hours of leisure, here and
there.

and packaged foods, too. that will
permit you to serve a tempting eve­
ning meal with a minimum amount
of time and effort.
