Deaf Can Hear 
Says Science 
New Invention Aids Thousands 
Here’s good news for all who suffer from 
deafness. The Dictograph Products 
Corporation announces the perfection 
of a remarkable device which has en¬ 
abled thousands of deaf persons to hear 
as well as ever. The makers of this 
wonderful device say it is too much to 
expect you to believe this so they are 
going to give you a chance to try it at 
home. They offer to send it by pre¬ 
paid parcel post on a ten-day free trial. 
They do not send it C. 0. D.—they re¬ 
quire no deposit—there is no obligation. 
Ihey send it entirely at their own expense and 
risk. They are making this extraordinary 
otter well knowing that the magic of this little 
instrument will so amaze and delight the user 
that the chances of its being returned are very 
Slight. Thousands have already accepted this 
Otter and report most gratifying results. There’s 
tto longer any need that you should endure the 
mental and physical strain which comes from a 
constant effort to hear. Now you can mingle 
with your friends without that feeling of sensi- 
uveness from which all deaf persons suffer. 
JNow you can take your place in the social and 
Dusiness world to which your talents entitle you 
mid from which your affliction has, in a meas- 
®^cluded you. Just send your name and 
dOdress to The Dictograph Products Corporation,

Wedciing Anniversaries 
Gladys S, Johnson Tells How to Celebrate Them 
I T is becoming more and more cus¬ 
tomary to celebrate in an informal 
and amusing manner, anniversaries of 
the first wedded years. There is the 
cotton wedding, at the end of the first 
year, when the table is made gay with 
balls of cotton and little pickanninies 
scattered about, and pods of cotton 
hang from the chandelier. The second 
anniversary, which is the paper wed¬ 
ding, calls for a complete paper service 
at' the table. Everything, except the 
knives and forks, can be obtained in 
paper, from paper plates, paper cups, 
paper spoons, paper doilies, and paper 
napkins to paper flowers for the deco¬ 
rations. 
Likewise, in celebrating the fifth an¬ 
niversary or wooden wedding, wooden 
plates, knives, forks, and spoons should 
be used. The centerpiece should be a 
large wooden mixing bowl filled with 
flowers. The tenth anniversary, the tin 
wedding, offers endless suggestions in 
the way of glittering tin table service. 
A large tin pan in the center and tin 
plates, tin spoons, and tin cups are but 
a few of the tin articles one can buy 
for a few cents. 
Decorations that are Attractive 
The crystal wedding, which comes at 
the end of fifteen years of married life, 
offers an opportunity for more beauti¬ 
ful decorations and appointments. As 
far as possible only glass should be used 
in serving the anniversary dinner. With 
the glass cooking utensils now on the 
market this should not be difficult. 
Glass candlesticks should be placed be¬ 
side each plate and crystal beads fes¬ 
tooned from the chandelier. A mirror 
with flowers banked about it would 
make a suitable centerpiece. 
The china wedding, which marks the 
twentieth anniversary, can also be 
made a very decorative one by the use 
of Chinese decorations. If possible, a 
Chinese dinner should be served as 
nearly as possible in the the Oriental 
manner. Chinese lanterns should be 
hung all about the room and flowers ar¬ 
ranged in Chinese vases should carry 
out the scheme of decoration. The host 
and hostess in Chinese costumes should 
receive their guests with Oriental bows 
and suave courtesies. 
SAVE CHICKEN FEATHERS 
CLARICE RAYMOND 
Before you scald that fowl for pick¬ 
ing, just take the carving knife and 
unjoint the wings at the first joint. 
Then rub the “cut” ends in some live 
coals and ashes, doing it very quickly 
so as not to burn the feathers, and lay 
them on the stove shelf to dry. It will 
take them several days or perhaps a 
week to become thoroughly dry, so as 
not to be breeding moths. 
These wings are very useful for 
many things. Dusting the stove, clean¬ 
ing cupboard shelves, as one can fit 
them into the corners so nicely, also 
cleaning out the bureau drawers, box 
covers, trunks, the corners of the rooms 
—as most of us are not blessed with 
round-cornered rooms, although I re¬ 
cently saw a fine new house in which 
every room has “round corners.” How 
happy that housewife must be with no 
comers to clean! 
When you pick the fowl, consign all 
the bloody feathers, also the large ones 
and the pin-feathers, to the kitchen 
stove. The rest, wash clean, spread 
and dry, and you will have something 
to fill those coveted couch and chair 
cushions with. They also are good for 
filling pillows, and, if one has more 
than she can use, there is always a 
market for them.

— 
EASY PATTERNS WHICH GIVE EXCELLENT RESULTS 
N o. 1638 is another of 
the apron-dress or 
dress-apron type, 
brightened up in this case 
by a touch of embroidery. 
It is the popular one-piece 
style, the sleeves cut in 
one with the front and 
back. The sash ends, 
which are caught in with 
the underarm seams, con¬ 
tinue’ around and tie at 
the back. 
This style may be made 
in gingham, chambray or 
cretonne. The gayest pos¬ 
sible colors are used both 
in materials and 'for em¬ 
broidery these days. 
No. 1638 cuts in 
sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 
44 and 46-inch bust meas¬ 
ure. Size 36 requires 3% 
yards 36-inch material, 
with % yard contrasting. 
Price, 12c. Transfer No. 
602, blue only, 12c 
extra. 
V ERY girlish is the effect 
of No. 1430. yet it is 
perfectly suitable for the 
older woman too. The orig¬ 
inal was made in gingham 
and organdie, but there are 
many pretty summer com¬ 
binations that might be 
used. This dress was es¬ 
pecially designed to stand 
many tubbings, and because 
it is cut in one piece, with 
set-in sleeves, it also irons 
easily. The double tie belts 
are very smart this year. 
No. 1430 cuts in sizes 
16 years, 36. 38, 40 and 42- 
bust measure. Size 36 re¬ 
quires 3% yards 36-inch 
material with % yard 36- 
Inch contrasting. Price, 
12c in stamps or coin 
(wrap coin carefully; 
stamps are safer). 
A S a dress to wear to 
town or in the automo¬ 
bile, No. 1720 has obvious 
advantages. It may be 
made in tweed or other 
lightweight cloth, in cotton 
or in tub silk. The bind¬ 
ing (or braid) and collar 
furnish the only trimming; 
the lines of the dress are 
simple and the style smart, 
but- a bit severe. There is 
a choice of sleeves, as the 
material you use might in¬ 
fluence your taste, and a 
jaunty little inset pocket 
on the right side, to balance 
the side closing on the left. 
No. 1720 is cut in 
sizes 16 years, 36, 38, 40 
and 42-inches bust measure. 
Size 36 requires 3% yards 
36-inch material with Vi 
yard for collar and SVi 
yards binding. Price 
12c. (Stamps preferred).
