PULL TAFFY?
mrs. H. B. B., Washington
My husband and / have
just had our fourth failure at
trying to make ordinary white
pull taffy. The first three tries
ended with the candy much
too hard to pull, it just cracked
in pieces. The last try we
thought was working out all
right, but it suddenly got very
sticky and runny, and we
couldn't handle it at all. We
have used two different recipes.
both from good sources. and
we are at a loss to know what
went wrong. The weather was
perfect in all cases. We had
our hearts set on having taffy
pulls for our youngsters when
they get older as we remember
having when we were young.
but at the rate we're going
we'll have to settle for fudge!
Thank you for any help you
can give us. ~.

ANSWER TO QUERY.
MRS. B. H. p, Washington
For Mrs. E. j. M. WASH
ington: BY all means, leave
your furnace pilot on. Each
year the gas company issues
a statement to that effect and
l can assure you personally
that the pilots do not make
your bill higher. You will re-
ceive such a statement from
the company soon telling you
the value of leaving the pilot
on. We have an eight-room
house and we always have a
nice. dry, cool basement during
the summer.
SHORTHAND BOOK?
mrs. L. H., Falls Church,
wonder If some reader Of
the Clearing House can tell
me how I can get copy Of
Howard Pittman's shorthand.
This system has not been
taught for at least Is years.
I have therefore not been able
to find a copy in any book
store.
