"A JOURNEY WITH AUNT JULIA"
BY MRS. ALICE " S. GRANT
(KnoWn to Thousands of Southern Children as
"Aunt Jua")

(This is the first chapter of the
personal story written by Aunt
Julia" that Tri-Weekly readers have
been looking forward to SO eager
absorbing little narratives ever
published in this paper.)
L have just come back from a WON
derful journey!
1t was a Journey that I wish all
Of my friends on the Tri-Weellly
Journal could have taken with me.
For it meant a glimpse into things
that filled you full of happiness and
tears and inspira ton and hope.
l went to a place where they eX-
change old lives for new A mar
velous human factory only it
oughtn't to be called a factory
where mountain boys and girls leave
dreary pasts behind them, to go away
later facing futures bright with
ambition and courage and usefulness.

dren who read Aunt Julia's Letter
Box can guess why.
I wanted to see the girls who have
been so happy ever since the letter
box helped them get to this school
There are eight or nine of our girls
there. l wanted to see them ami talk
to them and bring a message back.
And if you could have been there
when we met! But that's another
part of the story.
And I wanted to see Faith Cot
tage-the haven where the wee little
folks are taken under the care of
Miss Martha Berry, that wonderful.
great-hearted woman who is sue
cessfully giving her life to make
other lives successful.
Faith Cottage, YOU know iS the
home where some fortunate Ameri-
can baby will be supported next year
by the pennies, nickels and dimes
given by the children who write to
Aunt Julia's Letter Box.
This baby will be OUR baby, of
course-just like little Yvonne. the
tiny French orphan that the Letter
Box children adopted and cared for,
for two years.
Telling you at the beginning that
my journey was just a trip to
school may sound like a very or

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
Tells HOW to Darker Gray Hair
With a Homemade Mixture.

Joicey Williams, the well-knowr,
American actress, recently made the
following statement about gray hair
and how to darken it, with a home
made mixture:
Anyone can prepare simple
mixture at home that will gradually
darken gray, streaked or faded hair,
and make it soft and glossy. To
half-pint of water add 1 ounce of
bay rum, small box of Barbo Com
pound, and IA ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week UNI
til the desired shade is obtained.
This will make a gray-haired per-
son look twenty years younger. 1t
does not color the scalp, is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub
off."-(Advt)

binary, prosaic affair. But if you
could have laughed with me and
cried with me and been thrilled by
sights I saw and had your heart fill
up and overflow with gladness at the
beauty and greatness of it all-well,
it would have made anybody happy

Anyhow, I'm going to try to tell
you about it, from beginning to end,
just as nearly like it happened as
words will let you tell anything that
moves you SO deeply your thoughts
are too big for expression.
So to begin.
After the train had whisked me
up to Rome l went to, hotel and
teIephoned out to the school and they
said they'd send one of the boys for
me. Then l waited a while and no.
body came, and I waited a while
longer and still nobody came, and /
began to get fidgity for fear some
thing had gone wrong. l was begin
ming to have visions of losing half
of that precious day and possibly
spelling the trip when / happened to
think of something.
Maybe the DO, boy they sent doe doesn't t
at the hotel" 1 thought.
So I hurried downstairs right
away-and sure enough, there was
my boy. a manly chap. with outrag-
eously long eyelashes, and bluest of
blue eyes, dressed IN OVeralIS. just
like he had stepped off the farm He
was leaning against the desk, and
he looked troubled.
I was sure he was MY boy but I
didn't want to embarrass him so L
asked the clerk if anybody had ask
ed for me. 1t turned out that my
consideration wasn't needed. for the
boy stepped right up and said:
Yes ma'am. I asked for you. But
you see, after they told me to come
fer you. why, I forgot your name"
We both had a good laugh over
this and that helped us get &C
Quainted in a hurry.
