1 often read the advice that you
give the girls and boys in The Jour
nal and now find it necessary for
me to come to you for advice. 1
sing or hum some piece of music
over half Of my time. 1 have a great
desire to be singer. l want to be
great singer. I have a high school
education and also have IL years
in prep school. I am a young man
Of 20 years and am well developed
in every way. Would like to enter
the best place that the world af-
fords for voice training. Do you
think I could ever succeed? Advice
would be appreciated to the highest
'-'' VOICE
The best way to gain recogni-
ton as a singer you should get
in the choir of some big church
here in Atlanta, or some other
city you desire. Your salary
might be very small to start
with, but you could find job
for the day in an office, or some
other place, and study music
in the meantime. Write to Rev.
w. w. Memminger,, rector Of
All Saints Episcopal church, Is
West North avenue, Atlanta;
also to Rev. C. B. Wilmer, rec
tor st. Luke's Episcopal church,
residence 700 Piedmont avenue.
Atlanta. Also to Wylie West,
manager of the Firestone Tire
company, Atlanta. He is a must
cal director and no doubt can
give you better information than
anyone else. Send self addressed
envelopes stamped for reply. Do
not hesitate to state frankly
your desires. That is the surest
way to get ahead.
Here I come. too. for. advice. but
not concerning love affairs, for as
yet I haven't become entangled. But
if you can, 1 do wish you would
tell me any way of stouting up: Not
that I don't weigh a good deal, for
1 weigh 1872 younds and am five
years old. And 1 don't wish to be
at all fat, but 1 do wish to put on
little more flesh and have tried
a good many ways but haven't
succeeded. Don't you think l am
some underweight? Anyway 1 am
not satisfied with the way the bones
at my neck and arms, etc. expose
themselves.
I certainly hope to see the an
swer in print right away and thank
ing you for all help given and prom
Using faithfully to carry out all
PEGGY"
To stouten, or fleshen up,
rest is the main thing. In plain
words be lazy. If you are fond
of keeping late hours, cut them
out and go to bed early. Don't
worry; next, eat plenty of bread,
drink milk with cream, eat sugar
candy, sweets. not too much, but
have it in your diet once day.
Drink water with your meals
Avoid acids, such as lemons,
grape fruit, vinegar, etc. Eat
generously Of fresh corn, beets,
peas, beans and cornbread. You
will soon find your weight in
creasing if you will carry out
these instructions.

for I want to obtain a job some
where. Could you give me the adj

1 will describe myself. l am a boy
II years old, have black eyes, dark
hair, and fair complexion and weigh
100 pounds. I am in love with a
girl 16 years of age. She Is a nice
girl. Everybody seems to like her
fine. I have been going with her
she loves me dearly and I love her
and we are engaged to be married.
Do you think we are. too young Oh
not? Wishing to see this in The
Journal and thanking you for ad-
| vice.
REDBIRD.
You are too young to be en-
gagged to be married. Even if
you love this girl devotedly, and
she loves you, it would be do
ing both of you an injustice to
| become engaged, because you
are both too young to marry
and won't be considered at the
marriagable age until you are at
least 21 and it is wrong to make
vows you cannot keep. You are
not giving yourselves a fair
chance. If you love each other
let that suffice until you are old
enough to take an engagement
seriously with the intention OF
marrying shortly after. Long en-
gagements are not satisfactory.
you and your sweetheart will
| not feel the restriction Of ZEN
gagement vows" and you are apt
to. stick together longer with
out one.
I am lonely girl coming to you
for advice. I have never written be-
fore. Your advice will be appreciated
1 am in love with a boy 20 years of
age and he says he loves me dear
