his newspaper and addressing his Witt
who had a pile Of record cards before
her busily filing them In from notebooks
and scraps of paper scattered about her
on the table.
I'm fling all the Information I pos
sess about this family in one small COM
pact box instead of having it scattered
all over creation" answered Mrs. Hooper
as she jotted down another item.
What information, for instance7"
asked Henry putting down his paper
and taking off his glasses.
We'll, in the irst place, 1 have all nv
addresses scattered in every direction
and while I haven't as many as a great

spondence, still I don't see why can't
/ have them all written on cards where
l can get at them easily and where |
can put fresh one in every time there
Is a new one to be added"
THAT would have been a good idea
for the woman who was making such a
fuss to her friend in the car I came out
on at lunch time" laughed Henry.
What had happened to her" inquired
Mrs. Hooper

then I divide them into two sections. So
cial and business, then file my names al
phabectically in the social section and
alphabetically according to different
kinds OF shops In the business portion.
Now under my social head I arrange one
set Of my alphabet cards IN their proper
order. Then I use one card for each
name writing the surname first and the
given name last and the address on
lower separate line and in the remainder
Of the space I can write any other in
/ formation necessary to be remembered
about the person"
That's exactly the way I keep my
( address record in my Office" said Henry,
/ admiringly.
Exactly said Mrs. Hooper as she be-
gan to copy names out Of her address
book on to the cards. land If In going
to have Il business corner in my kitchen

business way
Henry didn't laugh at her serious
tone because he knew that she meant

( residence or business location of every
one with whom the Hooper family had
any social or commercial intercourse and
