Retire@50, I didn't see Six Hundred Dollars a Year on Cornell's Hearth, but I did find it at another site! (They have it as part of a fiction collection, but it appears to be the right one.)
I've started reading it myself and am enjoying it a lot. Thanks for mentioning the title.
BTW, I found it through www.digitalbookindex.com which lets you search across many online ebook collections. It worked where googling didn't.
Cheetahwoman7, the titles I'd been wanting to read again were:
Successful family life on the moderate income, by Mary W. Hinman Abel
The business of the household, by Clarence Taber
Family expense account, by Thirmuthis A. Brookman
Various titles by Christine Frederick
The homemaker and her job, by Lillian Gilbreth. She's the mother of the original Cheaper By The Dozen family. If anyone's interested in the Gilbreths, there's also a neat site about them, here:
gilbrethnetwork.tripod.com/front.html
Well, now that I've veered completely off-topic (except that I'm talking about sources for free reading material), I guess I'd better go.

I found another one on that site that I'm enjoying called Adventures in Thrift by Richardson, Anna Steese Sausser
This is a great find for me. I really enjoy reading these old home economics books. Thanks for passing along the other sites.
