HOW TO SAVE
WHEN |
SHOPPING
, By MRS. HARLAND II. ALLEN
90. 1922. Harland ii. Allen.)
TO EUY A GOOD COMB

The difference in the wearing quail
tie of the different grades of combs
may be n bit of new and useful lnfor-
nation to the shopper.
There is Il wide range In the quality
of these goods. But what is hardest
for o 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
1--WE 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 u rectangr-
lar opening at the base. In the cut
once, and one set of teeth comes out
of the space between the teeth of the
other comb. This makes the openings
wedge-shaped. Medium-priced combs
are generally nodded. 1t 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 ut 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 we~dge-shaped,
you are looking at a cut tooth or mold
ed comb. You pay more for n sawed
tooth comb, because it takes as much
labor to make one of that type as 1t
does two of the cut variety, but the
satisfaction of using one justifes 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 a 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 "a 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 1t is always wise
to select from "open stock" The ad.
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 be
able tc supply you with the same pat
tern to replace breakage.
"Open stock" also permits you to
buy only a few dishes ut a time, which
Is rather an item where the family
is small or the closet room scarce. In
deed 1t is always best to avoid the
lure of ZIP pieces complete us so
many of the pieces of such standard
sets are seldom used.
There are two grades of table var
'frsts' that are perfect in shape, de-
sign and glaze, being the most expenr
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
n imperfect In glaze, as the glaze
Is Its protection.
Avoid ornate handles, large knobs
and o~verdecorated rose garden" va
rleties. Two very popular designs arc
the graceful bands in colors or gold.
These are always In good taste, be-
cause the design Is simple md pleas
ing, and the effect Is harmonious In
combination with the other table ap-
pointments. The gold bands are less
durable because gold cannot be fired

Plans for the la%ndscaping treat

Charles N. Lowerie. They call for
the tearing down of the reservoir

Mr.. Hastings said that the com

be submitted to Mr.. Wanamaker's

Public hearings will be held to give
the public an opportunity to express
opinions on various features Of the

PARIS PIG IN SECOND PLACE
New England Annals Of 1775 Show
French Animal Can Only Be
classed as 4 "Piker."

Pals dispatch related recently
That pig fled from the Halles and
ran down the Rue de Rivoli, upsetting
two gendarmes. She then went to a
department store, was carried up one
escalator, down another and found
refuge in the dress-goods department
In the basement, where she sank into
a calm slumber. This is well enough
In its way and for a European pig
but 1t has too many signs of accident
1t may have amused the Parisians to
hear about this. Perhaps it may have
deepened their conviction that the
vile lumiere is the mother of novel
ties. But if so, they sadly mistake.
The New Hampshire Gazette of Janu-
airy 6, 1775, contains the following adj
vertisement: "a Pig Came to the
House of Mark Loud in Portsmouth
about fortnight ago-the Owner may
have him again by applying to the
said Loud" The conscientious Loud,
though feeling the greatest respect
and friendship for the pig that had
made him fortnight's visit, evidently
felt that he ought to go home Moth
Ing is said about reward; that is left
to the delicacy of the pigs owner and
1t must have been an exceptionally in
telligent pig, even for New England, tc
have left this pleasant impression on
Mr.. Loud. There is no evidence that
any dispatch was sent to the French
or English press about the incident,
although 1t is far more interesting
than that of the Paris pig that upset
the gendarmes.-J. Fl. S., In the Bos-
