To the Editor of the "Norrs-Cuina Dairy News."
Srr,—I have read with interest "Resident's" letter on Home prices and I hope my experience of house-keeping in England for two years might prove a help.
My house was in the count.y in Yorkshire. It had eight rooms and good garden (own vegetables, flowers and fruit). The figures I give here are authentic, as still have all my accounts by me. The family comprised myself, nurse, three children and maid. I had a woman to wash weekly and a gardener one day and a half weekly Mode of living was simple and plain. We dined midday and bad light suppers. Little or no entertaining.
Cost of cne month's living:—Butcher £5. 10. 0.
Grocer 6. 10. 0.
Bread 1. 0. 0.
