You can get the song Bubbles"
company, here in Atlanta; also,
any other song. Just write,
Cable Piano Co., Sheet Music
Dept, Broad street, and they will
get your letter. The best time
to practice music lessons is in
Your mind is refreshed by the
nights sleep, and you will under
stand the notes better.
Blue in most any shade will
be becoming to you, although
you may be able to wear most
any color, if you have a good
complexion conn If your face is
med hat would be more becom-
ing to your face than a very
small hat. If you are going on
sightseeing trip, it is wise to
take a suit, of dark material,
rather tailored, on account of
travelling; a georgette waist of
dark material; silk dress of
blue taffeta or satin, they are al
ways suitable for hotel dinners,
or visiting, and serge dress for
cool days. But make your ward
robe as small as possible, SO
you will not have to worry about
your belongings, and you will
have a good time. Don't take a
lot of underwear, and have it of
soft material so you needn't
mind packing it tight.
I am coming to you for advice. 1
am boy of twenty years and am in
love with girl of eighteen. She
says she loves me, but / am a poor
man and her father is a rich man
and don't allow me to see her if he
can help it. She says she will
marry me without her parents con-
h. 10
marry or not. Do you think she
would be happy always with me or
would she be sorry she married me
when she found out what it was to
be a poor mans wife? I couldn't
bear to see her unhappy: Please ad
vance.
1t has been known that girls
have lived happy ever after
when they married poor men, but
it takes a lot of loving and
patience. 1t is rather a hard
thing to do, to ADJUST ones self
to very simple mode of living
worlds goods. 1t is hardly fair
to the girl to want to take her
away from, a home of comfort
and ask Ter to share poverty
with you. But real love on both
sides makes up for the lack of
Anol1ey' Anu IL you are DoCn
young and strong, and ambitious,
you could set to work and try
to accumulate a bit yourselves.
But remember this, the girl is
young and romantic and she
thinks life with you is splendid
(regardless of whether you have
money to buy her shoes, or not)
but after while she may wake
UP to the realization that life
with a poor man isn't so wonder
full after all. The love of fine
clothes and luxuries has caused
more than one nome to be brok-
en- up. So go slow until you
doing.
Here comes a South Carolina girl

Am L tail enough for my weight?
What colcrs would suit me best? l

Viii high-heel shoes injure me, as

Is there any place where married
'eople can obtain an education?
This is my second CALL 1 did not

Yours in earnest. F. ]. f.
You are tall enough without
trying to make yourself look any
taller. But you can wear high
heel shoes if they are not I'M
comfortable. Most any color will
suit you. I think you would look
we'll in rich dark coIors, how
ever. In regard to your grand
mother, think if I were you

may act peculiarly, but remem-
Der she is old. and perhaps she
