I am nearly always able to give q
prompt answer, with the name and
address of the maker.
Now, there is no mystery or secret
about this. My sources of informa-
tion are open to every woman In this
country, If she will but look through
the advertising columns of the maga-
zines and newspapers. The first step
that any manufacturer takes to cre-
ate a demand for his product is to
broadcast advertisements of it. Such
lads" generally read:
"If your dealer cannot supply it.,
write US direct"
OF course the dealer, when he keeps
getting inquiries about any article,
puts it in stock. and there you are.
In many cases these new devices
appear in the shops. BY sending
line, or cutting out n coupon. any
reader may obtain an illustrated
folder describing the article and learn
It's price. This folder can be turned
over to the dealer-unless one wishes
to order direct-and the article may
then be seen before 1t is bought.
The attractive novelties described
in this department shortly before
Christmas were nearly all so new
y
ket; that is, they were not yet widely
distributed to the shops. By clipping
out the advertisement and sending
for the printed matter I was able to
write an article and give readers the
address of the maker in time for
them to order the novelties IS Christ
mas. gifts. Any woman reader of the
magazines might have done this for
herself, of course.
This household research is what
keeps any home maker. up to the
minute and makes her the envy of
her neighbors, who wonder how she
happens to know all about the newest
equipment, odd little accessories and
unusual foods. A 2-cent stamp. or
even a post card. will bring full infor-
nation, and the reader may then buy
or not, as she chooses. We must be
on the lookout for better utensils,
cleansers, special furniture ideas, fab
rics and ingenious mechanical devices.
And the. advertising column is the
treasure chest where NE may find all
these things.

My Neighbor Says:

Never use a large quantity OF
f1avoring of any kind In bak-
ing. 1t spoils the delicacy of the
cake or dessert.
When using dried or evap-
Grated fruit in baking, q pinch
of salt should be added, as this
brings back the flavor of the
fresh fruit. The same rule gov
erns canned fruits.
If piano keys are yellow, rub
them with a little lemon juice
and whiting, and remove. this
with damp cloth.
In hanging a skirt, take fiat
piece of cardboard or, better
still. II ruler, and mark on 1t the
distance the edge of the skirt
when finished. Place the skirt
on the wearer, or dummy"
move the ruler round the skirt,
and place pins at intervals
where the mark shows the de-
sired length. BY this means a
level edge will be obtained and
the skirt should hang correctly
all round.
Be sure you wipe stationary
tubs dry after using them and
always keep the plugs In the
holes. Leave the cover off, a
little while to let them dry and
you cannot have musty tubs If
you leave the plugs out you will
get all the bad Odors from the
pipes and traps.
To make a neat hem in thick
materials. stitch a piece Of tape
on top of the hem, instead of
turning in the material on the
t~y.
edge Of the tape down and you
will have perfectly fiat hem
and the row of stitching along
each edge of the tape will give
a substantial finish to the right
side.
