ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
A. H. P. — -A great many teachers use the sugar without lining very 
successfully. You probably used too much sugar; it should be thin enough 
to flow easily from the brush or pen. The hat pin top can be bought from 
Maurer Art Supply Co., Council Bluffs, la. 
L. A. A. — There are two kinds of belleek, one is stamped Willetts and 
the other uses a palette for a stamp. The Willetts belleek requires a hotter 
fire than rose — almost as hot as a china fire; and the other requires about a 
rose heat as it is a very soft ware. 
Mrs. R. — The letter should be placed to the right of the handle. It 
would be alright to use a number of the gothic letters and also to use the 
band. Narrow simple little conventional borders are used a great deal on 
cups and saucers. 
N. H. — I would suggest placing a conventional design in the circle and 
a narrow conventional border below the band; carry them out in gold and 
a sparkle of bright color. We have not published the kind of monogram 
which you wish. You might have one made by some teacher who advertises 
designs for rental. Most jewelers will also take orders for them. Correspond 
with Mr. Aulich, Auditorium Bldg., Chicago, 111. I am not able to give you 
the information
