The names of those contributing recipes and suggestions will be printed with what they send in, unless they request to have their names omitted. The names of those contributing stories of “Heroism at Home” will _not_ be printed unless in exceptional cases. The reason for not printing the names in this case is that the stories are true and the characters in them are real people who might be sensitive about having their most private affairs set forth in type with their right names appearing in it. If we published the names and addresses of the person who sends in the story about them it would be almost the same as publishing their own names. In each number there will be a note saying that such and such a story receives the prize, but no names will be given. The names in the story will be left blank or fictitious names will be supplied. Under the head of “Heroism at Home” are further particulars. There is no need to worry about “not knowing how to write.” What our Department wants is the _facts_. If any corrections are really needed, they can easily be made. We aren’t trying to be “authors”—we’re just women trying to help one another. The Editors of the Magazine tell me that it will simplify matters very much if we make a few simple rules for sending in contributions. Let us see how the following will work out: 1. _Make all contributions short and to the point._ We have only a few pages altogether; there are a lot of us to contribute and there are many things to talk about. 2. _Address everything carefully and in full to Mrs. Louise H. Miller, WATSON’S MAGAZINE, 121 West 42d Street, New York City._ 3. _Write on one side of the paper only._ 4. _No letters or manuscripts will be returned._ Make a copy of everything you send if you want to keep it. * * * * * =May Number.=—A continuation of this month’s subject for discussion. =June Number.=—Our common ornamental flowers, wild and cultivated. =July Number.=—What women can do toward improving and beautifying their home cities, towns, or country districts. * * * * * The Department this month is something like! The Other Editors have taken hold! I knew that I should have to write most of it for the first two months, until time enough had passed for contributions to come in from the rest of you. Now the suggestions, recipes, articles, and stories of “Heroism at Home” have begun to come from all over the country and our Department begins to take on its permanent form. Every month from now on ought to be a big improvement over all that went before.
