HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
@, 1922. Harland H AIlen.)
TO BUY A GOOD COMB

The difference in the wearing quail
ties of the different grades of combs
may be bit Of new and useful infor-
nation to the shopper.
There is a wide range in the quality
of these goods. But what is hardest
for most of us to believe, is that these
differences are not due to the differ
ent grades of celluloid used, but in
most instances to the coloring matter
used, the method of manufacture, and
the way the article is finished.
There are three types Of combs, the
sawed tooth, cut tooth, and the nodded
or pressed.
The sawed tooth combs are the best
to buy This is because of the method
of manufacture. In cutting the teeth,
the saw goes straight to the base of
the tooth, and thus gives a rectangu-
lar opening at the base. In the cut
tooth comb, two combs are made ut
once. and one set of teeth comes out
of the space between the teeth of the
other comb. This makes the openings
Wedge-shaped Mediun-priced combs
are generally nodded. It is difficult
to distinguish them from cut combs,
but they are lighter in weight,
When buying a comb, then, it is al.
ways wise to look carefully at the base
of the teeth. If the openings are
square, and the teeth are about the
same distance apart at the base and
at the point, it is a sawed tooth comb.
When the openings are wedge-shaped
you are looking at cut tooth or mold
ed comb. You pay more for a sawed
tooth comb, because it takes as much
labor to make one of that type as it
does two of the cut variety, but the
satisfaction of using one justifies the
difference in cost. You will notice the
difference in the way the hair catches
and pulls while sliding through the
wedge-shaped openings of the cut
combs, while it passes easily and
smoothly through the square openings
of the sawed tooth kind.
Most cheap combs have the tooth at
one end spreading out little from
the rest. This happens in the process
of manufacture, and is bent into shape
somewhat when the comb is finished,
but a little bulge can always be de-
tected. This will help you to distin-
guish a medium-quality comb.
The better grade combs are
"grailed"; that is, the corners of the
teeth are shaved off to prevent dirt
lodging at the base.

SUGGESTIONS FOR BUYING
CHINA

In buying china it is. always wise
to select from "open stock" The adj
vantage of this, as over against buy
Ing a "set'' of which only a few are
made and the pattern discontinued,
is that your dealer will always bo
able tc supply you with the same pat
tern to replace breakage.
'Open stock also permits you to
buy only few dishes at time, which
is rather an item where the family
is small or the closet room scarce. In
deed it is always best to avoid the
lure of ZIP pieces complete" as so
many of the pieces of such standard
sets are seldom used.
There are two grades Of table ware:
''firsts" that are perfect in shape, de-
sign and glaze, being the most expep-
sive, and seconds" which are imper-
feet in some one or all of these points.
1t is sometimes all right to select a
piece of table ware imperfect in de-
sign or shape, but never, never accept
one imperfect In glaze, as the glaze
is it's protection.
Avoid ornate handles, large knobs
and overdecorated rose garden" va
rieties. Two very popular designs are
the graceful bands in colors or gold.
These are always in good taste, be-
cause the design is simple and pleas
ing, and the effect is harmonious in
combination with the other table APP
pointments. The gold bands are less
durable because gold cannot be "fired'
at a very high temperature, and care
must be used to see that it is not
washed in hot water or strong alkali
soaps.
porcelain" is the finest quality of
tableware, transparent, fragile, and
most expensive. "China" is the medi-
UNI weight grade most commonly used,
so called because it was first made in
China. Stoneware or "Whiteware" is
the cheap, heavy type familiar ii res
taurants and institutions.
When whiteware is Clipped, the soft
inner body absorbs stains. China and
porcelain are hard and non-absorb-
ing, and cannot be stained even if the
glaze is broken. You can make the
test yourself with ink.
English china is blush white, while
American china is cream white. The
color has nothing to do with the wear
ing quality, however. Oriental and
English china is apt to be more frag-
lie, while American pieces are designed

Jaek-o,s Monthly Anecdote

One anecdote IL told about Gutta
1ercha which. more than any
other. bespeaks the kind heart
and extraordinary tact Of the
italian cantatrice. 1t was some
where in Michigan. The little
eongbird had just finished a pro-
gram which had taxed even her
powers. Encore after encore had
been added. AS she sat exhaust
ed in her dressing room there came
. knock on the door. Come In"
said she. A thin waif entered.
''what could / did for your" said
Gutta. my mother Is sick" said
the girl, 4'and could not come to
your concert. She wants to hear
you sing even II it kills her." So
Gutta followed the child through
narrow streets and into an old
tenement. There lay the woman
wasted to shadow. What could
] sing for your" said the star. But
the woman could not answer. And
then. as IL prompted by divine i'm
pulse, Gutta moved to the bedside
and rendered the complete consump-
tive death scene from "Traviata,"
ending on high e. Among the
neighbors 1t was opined that the
woman would have died anyway
