Question Box, The Atlanta Tri-Week-
ly Journal, Atlanta. Ga.
Dear Folks: I had such an inter
! esting letter from the mother of
eight children. I wish I could pub.
lish it here, but as it had a request
for help and as it is impossible for
of work, I cannot. However, can
tell you this. She spoke of so many
people who discarded wearing ap-
parel that would mean so much to
people like herself and she told of
| the splendid way in which she con-
| verted mems suits into clothes for
| her growing boys, and shirts that
were worn at the collar bands into
aprons for her small girls. Now, if
we want to be really helpful, we will
pass along some of our things to
| others whose families are large and
whose needs exceed their finances.
I know that many of my readers
| can help like this and I hope they
| will be on the lookout for such self
! respecting people who are glad to
| get such help.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
! Mrs. Della Kimsey, of Dawson,
Ala, Rt. No 1, writes as follows: I
wish to exchange Dahlia potatoes,
pink, white, yellow, lavender and
different shades Of red, all double,
for different colors of Gladiola
bulbs. Also would like to exchange
some Of my flowers or seeds for Col.
Gus, especially the trailing variety,
for hanging baskets, and for hello
! trope seeds. Write me what you
have first.
Martha: T cannot advise you to
| resilver your mirror. It is a diff.
cult and dangerous process. Bet.
| ter leave it to a professional. The
Pittsburg Plate Glass company, of
Atlanta, does this work, I believe.
You will find it better and just as
reasonable for such a firm to do
your work.
Mother: 7 do not feel really ca.
pable Of advising you about the
method Of your childs study. Think
if it were my little girl and she
came home so tired I'd giving her a
nourishing meal and allow her to
play and relax and then take up her
studies when her mind and body
were rested.
Mrs. S: Thank you for your let
| ter of approval. 1t is only by such
! help that our department will grow.
Am glad your draperies were such
a success. For your bedroom why
not have the side draperies of light
weight unbleached muslin dyed the
shade you wish and left crinkled,
not ironed. Your inside curtains
could be Of an inexpensive wolfe,
School Days: Yes, little folks are
wearing aprons, but not like the
ones we used to wear. They are
! far prettier and just as useful. Pat
terms come for these aprons and
| they are made of various materials.
The unbleached muslin with the
smashing pockets of creton are so
attractive. I will be glad to send
you pattern if you will enclose
stamps-the prices run from Is to
80 cents. Will send you samples
also.
Myrtle You can stop biting your
nails If you just make up your mind
1t is certainly a disfiguring, ugly
habit. If you need any help, just
put touch of quinine on the top
of each nail, taste or two Of that
bitterness will soon keep you from
biting them.
We live in the country and you ought to
be with us. Would like to correspond with
MINNIE SMITH.
Bailey, Ga, Route 4.
