El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1916-09-30

7 imagine how surprised and happy was
( 10 find that one Of my best girl friends
had married an officer and had come
: TO stay IN El Paso until they are re-
i called. I had known for a long time
: that Beth was engaged to Neale and
! I went to the train with her 10 see
Z him off for the mobilization camp but
! they didn't even hint about their in
tention to marry when he was ordered
10 the border.
3 looking for an apartment and shopping
: for the new home. Beth is a modern
efficient hOusekeeper so it was lots OF
I fun helping her select the furnishings.
One Of the first places we visited was
the FL PasO Electric Railway Co. Beth
said there were two appliances she
simply wouldn't try to get along with
out-a vacuum cleaner and an cleo
trio irOn-but before we came away
from there she had found a lot Of other
things
I'm quite sure you'll be interested in
all the convenient articles Beth bought
so I'm going TO tell you about them
What a wonderful Improvement over
T the broom and the Old-fashioned
sweeper was made. when someone in
vented the vacuum cleaner No dust
no wasted energy-nO bach-aches at
the end Of the days Beth moved the
cleaner across one Of the rugs in the
salesrOOm she remarked This viii keep
me young for years and when Neale
comes In from that dusty camp, worn
out and tired, he'll have a nice. clean.
cosy place 10 come to and III be full
Of energy 10 cheer him up
I knew OF case where q vacuum
cleaner prevented q divorce-it seems
like a small thingbut then III tell
you about that some other time
Just as soon as Beth saw some OF
she was going to take one home with
her. i never could get mother TO make
coffee Ia anything but an old-fashiOned
Dot but I would hate to ask anyone
To sauarrr nn i L. Hhraa#
Isn't Il easy. all you have TO do is
put the coffee in, pour some water over
turn the switch-and there II is pip
ing not when the remainder Of break
fast is ready to serve"
Speaking OF things piping hot I
said IF there is anything that viii take
away my appetite for breakfast II is
cold toast so We looked for a toaster
among their large collection for Beth
shares my aversion for bread either
half toasted or lukeWarm.
Most Of the camps have been wired
and Beth thought il would be a good
idea 10 buy Neale one Of those little
electrical appliances which can be
dropped into a basin OF water and
which win heat the water instantly
II IS a fine thing for men who are
camping out and have current they can
use FOR they are always assured Of
hot water for a shave
7 was very much impressed with the
little utility sets and thought imme-
diately how convenient they would be
~ 1en travelling with an invalid or chill
dren- They are so compact that they
can be packed away in travelling baE
and Yet you can get q fUll-sized meal
on them-tOast, eggs, chops. cakes and
there IS a splendid receptacle for heat
ing milk.
II YOU are using the old style car
bon electric light 7 know you'll be glad
10 hear what the salesman told us
about the Mazda lamp. To begin with
IL gives a much better. clearer light
than the old one ana it saves in cur
rent three or four times the cost IF
the lamp We bought several and
both Beth and Neale were well pleased
with them ] forgot TO tell YOU when
mentioning the vacuum sweeper that
these appliances use very little cleo
trIcity and II you've been pOstponing
the purchase Of one because you We're
afraid Of a prohibitive electric light
bill you have made a great mistake I
You can Use one every day for a month I
and there probably won't be more than (
q fifteen cent increase in your bill. I
Should you care for any OF the ar
ticles 1 have mentioned I viii be very /
glad 10 purchase them for you.
4 Little Vow and n Whole Lot Later On. /
