Why Not
Try the
l7C-a-Day
Plan

The beauty of The Oliver Type
writer l7.Cents.a- Day Plan is that
1t works out satisfactorily for
everybody concerned,
This plan ties up q very large
sum OF the company's money in
typewriters sold on time.
But we have an abundance Of
capital. We are glad to use our
resources to bring this great busi-
ness aid within easy reach Of all
who have use for typewriters.
Thousands tell US that they
bought their Oliver Typewriters
without noticing the outlay,
Here's the way the plan works:
You make a small first payment
and get the machine at once.
Then save II Cents a Day and
pay monthly, exactly the same as
rent.
When you complete the pay
ments, the typewriter is yours
forever. And you pay only the
list price.

Just then the baby in Eliene's

held out his hands to him.

Much to my surprise, Dick took

Q.-I am a young mother.
My baby is six weeks old and
she cries a great deal. My
mother-in-law insists that I
should dress her in flannel
skirts and flannel night
robes. My mother-in-law
:. made and gave me these flan-
nels, but have never used
them. She says baby is cold
and should wear them. What
do you think? Y. M.
A.-Flannel is supposed to be
necessary for winter clothing for
a baby. IL need not be worn next
the skin, necessarily, but should
be put on over a cotton garment,
iG the baby's skin is very sensitive.
Flannel is both warm and light in

Dear Miss Grey: l thor
oughly enjoy the thousands of
letters which appear through
your columns in the Times.
l have a question: What has
become of the old-fashioned
girl like grandmother used
to be? Nowadays they all
seem to aspire to be stenog-
raphers, teachers, etc.. or
take up some other profess
sion. Our colleges are all
full of girls with this object
in view. They flock from the
farm, from the small country
towns to the city to college.
One can travel through the
country and find the farm
homes, some of them modern,
coy and convenient, only to
find them deserted by the
daughters, and sons, too, in
instances, while the old folks
are tending the farm. Why Is
this? The girls go first, and
the boys-well, boys cant
farm successfully without the
other. In the east in New
England states this is more
marked. What are we COM
ing to? Where are the old
fashioned girls? l think |
see in the future this great
country manned by bache-
Tors, each on his ten-acre
farm. What strange era are
we approaching? Would
someone give me a little
light on this subject?
