| NARY MEREDlTAS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I am writing to you for advice.
I am a girl sixteen years OF age.
I have brown hair, brown eyes.
weigh about eighty pounds and
am feet 8 inches tall. have COM
pleted the tenth grade. Do you
think am too young to stop school?
Do YOU think I am too young to get
married? Do you think it is a sin
to marry your first cousin? I will
look for my letter in the paper next
week. I would like to correspond
with some of the other girls or boys!
Do YOU think it is any harm to kiss
a boy if you are engaged to him?
I will close for this time, thanking
you for your advice. Do you think
nice girls bob their hair?
JEFF.
Answer: If you can continue at
school a while longer you will not
regret it. Get all the education you
can. You are rather young to
marry. Don't you think you gould
enjoy the freedom and society OF
other boys for awhile rather than
settle down to married life, when
you've just begun to appreciate be-
ing alive? I have nothing to say
against first cousins marrying. The
responsibility lies entirely with the
parents most concerned. Boppeo
hair is as respectable as any other
mode Of hairdressing.
+ have read your advice to others,
so would like for you to SEND me
the address Of some place in Atlanta
where I can sell some of my fancy

n1aces T can recommend, the Wom-
ans exchange, Connally building,
Alabama and Whitehall streets, and
the Atlanta Woman's club, gao
Peachtree street, Atlanta. Write to
Mrs. w. B. Price-Smith, vice chair
man of the educational committee.
Won NAV also write to Mrs. Toul-
man Williams, care ]. M. High
company, department store, DO
Whitehall street, Atlanta. They
NAV take your work and sell 1t on
commission. Try and see.,
Will you please give me little ad-
vice? What will whiten my neck,
as it is very dark? Will peroxide
make light hair yellow? Please tell
me a good face creah and powder.
I want to take business course
and have just finished the sixth
grade in school, do you think l could
without going to school again? How
much will it cost to take it through
mail? Thank you.
Answer-Lemon juice is very good
as bleach. Squeeze juice or Two
lemons in glass, then strain we'll to
get out the pulp, mix with equal
quantity Of glycerine. Use at night
on retiring. The glycerine will soften
the skin, the lemon will whiten 1t:
Peroxide is a very strong bleach:
am sure it would turn very light
hair yellow. 1t will turn straw yell
low, and peroxide would have the
same effect upon hair the same
shade as natural colored straw.
Write to l.. w. Arnold, vice presl-
dent, Southern Business college, IL
Whitehall street, Atlanta, In regard
to business couRe.
T am coming to you for Dit OF
advice, but not about boys. L want
to know if there is a school IN
Georgia that I can work my way
through, for I am fatherless girl
and want an education. Please print

Answer-If you will write to
Mrs. Hugh Willet, 1885 Peachtree
street, Atlanta, she may be able to
assist your getting into school. She
is president of one Of the Georgia
mountain schools-a very lovely,
l1indhearted woman, and has done so
much for the betterment OF the
young people of Georgia, in an edu-
cational way.
