Mrs. A. B. K, Bergton. I've had
Christmas cards made with a pic
ture Of my little girl by the Falcon
Photo Company, Box 45s, Topeka,
Kansas. They have proved very
satisfactory. II you write to them
I'm sure they would send you a
price list samples.
fFTona Mrs. r. G.. Washington.)
Some Of the stores that sell pho.
tographic supplies exclusively can.
I believe. place the photo directly
on the Christmas card for you.
And now is not too soon to have
them made as the stores get in a
rush Just before Christmas. One
year we were too late to have the
photo printed directly on the card.
so we bought at one Of these pho
tographic supply stores, folders
which have a place for a picture
to be pasted. They had a conven-
tional greeting printed on them.
The store then printed sufficient
copies Of the picture. The pasting
Is q job!

CONDENSATION ON WINDOWS.
From d. r. Siluer SPRING.
Mrs. J. H. s.. Hyattsville. With
out realizing it. you have hit upon
the only real solution to the most
problem of condensation
On easement windows. Storm win
dowS are the only permanent So
luton. Condensation cannot be
prevented otherwise but you can
put towels on your window sills
to catch the drippings and save
your walls from spotting.
Storm windows have so many
benefits that should
also be taken into consideration.
such as savings in fuel, elimina-
ton Of drafts. cutting down on
outside noise, keeping the house
cleaner and numerous others.
As to the question of inside versus
outside windows for easements, we
have Just exhausted that subject
at our house and had inside storm
windows installed. A recent pub
lication put out for consumers had
a discussion on this problem and
concluded that the additional
weight Of the outside storm win
dow on the regular window hinges
eventually causes the prime win
dow to sag and get out Of line.
The main selling feature Of the
outside window is that they pro-
tect the prime window and future
painting is eliminated. Aside from
being less expensive. inside win
dows can also provide rain free"
on a stormy day. To
get an unbiased listing of the ad-
vantages (or disadvantages Of
both types of easement storm win
dows, I'd suggest contracting a
company that handles both types.
Otherwise, Mrs. j. H. S., you will
be confused by the inside" men
knocking the outside" and vice
versa, which we have found to be
worse than not knowing anything
at all on the subject.
One last word: There is
greater distance between the
prime window and the inside
storm window, than between the
prime window and the outside
storm window. This greater "air
pocket" is additional protection
against condensation. We are so
pleased with our inside storm win
lows that I will be very happy to
liscuss this matter further if you
;are to write me through RCH.
From Mrs. M. F. r., Washington.J
AS soon as cold weather begins
n fall our easement windows
;weat badly in the early mornings
With resultant puddles, but as
oon as our inside storm windows
ire installed each fall the conden-
;ation stops. The inside storm
windows are less expensive than
he outside type. They are easy to
install Il can handle all but the
'ery largest ones myself. I wash
hem In the basement before in
;tallation and then slip them into
