Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I put self-sticking notes on the fronts of catalogs from which I want to order.

When I am throwing away a stack of magazines and papers, I know which ones to keep. It also makes it much easier to order because I don’t have to go through the entire catalog, just look on the front cover and I have my order.

Or, if I’m not sure about the price of the item, I can readily check the price against other places. - Elizabeth Knippel Adamson, Bakersfield, Calif.
