I'm going to quote from "Will o.
Wisp's'' letter. You wrote a very IN
teresting letter and I'm sorry l cannot

do YOU realize that in Ancient Greece,
Helen was the most beautiful woman
on the earth. Venus offered her to
Paris and he eloped with her so caus-

might know I am studying history.

reason you forget your topic is because
when o get up you think now every
body is listening to me. Or Oh. dear

loud my voice is. In the mean time

Of the window. Now, just take a tip
from your Sister Helen and when you

DO you girls make your own n
kerchiefs for Christmas? I have never
done so, but 1 am going to try this
year. I am going to use fine lawn. Cut
out the handkerchief, the size you
want then hemstitch around the edges.
Make tatting or fine lace and then put
this on the edges: or course don't
forget to stamp the initial on and
work it out real neatly. II you make
the tatting of different colored thread
I him it is much nicer. That sounds
Ikea very pretty and economical
gift.
Dew Drop" we are glad to welcome
you to our column write more next
time ask me some questions o
something that 1 can help you on.
