Wants to Sell crochetTnq

To the Editor OF WoUdr'S Page:
Dear Madam am daily reader of
the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER. and find
you help so many who come to you for
advice. SO l am coming TO you and
hope you will be able to help me. am
going to make crochet powder puff bags.
and would like to put them in some of
the stores in Philadelphia. Could you
give me any information as to how to
get them in the stores? Also could you
give mo the name of wholesale hSuse
where | can buy, the little powder puffs
and the name or names of stores where
they sell the mercerized crochet cotton
on the half-pound tubes?
MRS. r. II. I.
You would have TO see the buyers in
powder puff bags in their departments.
You might be able to find out from them
the name of wholesale dealers in the
powder puffs. But. instead of that, why
don't you make a crochet handle for the
puff and stiffcn it with liquid glue ?
Then you could get the soft woolly ma -
teral that the puffs are made OF by the
yard and sew it onto the handle after
the glue is stiff and dry. You could
charge more for the bags then.
To get the cotton wholesale, find out
the name of the kind you want to get
and write directly to the factory. No
doubt you can make arrangements to buy
the cotton wholesale if you order
enough. / hope you will be very sue
cessful in selling these bags. They sound
very attractive.

Shall She Elope7

Dear Cynthia-I am a young girl OF
sixteen, and am in love with a fellow
of twenty one. have been going with
him for theree years. Some time ago
he asked me for kiss, but ] refused
him, and though he seemed hurt ! did
not care. Now last week he asked me
to marry him and this time ! said yes.
but my father, who is cruel to me, will
not give his consent.
My fiance says he will pay all the
expenses if l will run away with him.
I want to know if it is proper to elope
with him. Please help me. I have no
mother to go to UNDECIDED.
No, dear, do not run away to be
married. You are only sixteen, and
though girls of your nationality are apt
to marry sooner than others, you are
very young and should have your
fathers consent to your marriage. Tell
the young man he must wait for year
or two and try to win your father
consent in the meantime.

would it be the same if it was solid?
Gan you explain just what veneering is.
l have been told by men who know
something about furniture that they
would prefer the vcncered to the solid
any time. What makes whitsh stuff

Neneered furniture lS by no means

were suites there up to $500, all We
necred. Perhaps some readers who have
had the same experience can let me
know about this. DISTRESSED.
Any furniture with high polish is
apt to become dull in the warm atmos-
phere of house. Veneered furniture is
considered more valuable than solid fur
niture, as the workmanship in it is more
intricate. Vcncering is an application
of thin surface of wood OH the out
side of the solid framework. A defac-
ing or bruising of the varnish causes
the white marks to appear. This can
be removed by wiping with oil and tur-
pentine. which should be wiped off agaiu
as soon as the white marks are re
moved.
/ Wipe your furniture with damp
cloth, and then vine it dry immedi-
ately with a chamoiS skin. This will
renew the polish Perhaps some one
will give you some other suggestions.

you mind repeating it? Also will
you please tell me how to keep cheese
