“Helpful Hints”
Based on
Mae Savell Croy's Putnam's Household Handbook published in 1916.
Join Mrs. Croy as she explains everything from cleaning the stove and your
clothes with kerosene, to leaving babies outside when they cry because
children should not be spoiled and screaming (outside) is good for the lungs.
She also discusses the sick room, architecture, invitations, and the comfort
of the gymnasium suit! It's an evening that is both witty and wise.
