newspapers published in this city. The
Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home
Journal and Country Gentleman are the
only magazines I know of that are pub
lished in this city. They are all pub
lished by the Curtis Publishing Com
pany, at Sixth and Walnut streets.
The only way to find out whether or not
the various papers will buy your stories
is to send some Of them, unless you can
get some satisfaction by calling them up
on the telephone. Personally ! think
you will do better to stick to the out of
town publications If you have been
successful, for know that this paper
buys practically all of its stories from
a syndicate, and imagine that it Is
the same way at other papers. How
ever, you may find it otherwise and I

school for millinery in Philadelphia.
MISS L. G.
I do not know of any school where
millinery alone is taught, but do know
that there is very good course in mil
linery at Drexel Institute, ut Thirty
second and Chestnut streets. Some of
the public schools have night courses
in millinery, too. If you call up the
Board of Education you can find out
which schools give these courses. Then
at Temple University, Broad and Berks
streets, there are courses in millinery
In the afternoon or evening. and you
can take whichever you prefer. These
courses do not start until next winter.
If you write to any of these schools they
will send you catalogues and literature
on the subject and you can choose the
one that appeals to you most.
