MARY MEPEDITH.S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

also to anyone else that knows by
actual experience if the auto knit
ter is really what it is advertised
to be.
I would like to hear from anyone
who has tried the auto knitter
whether they made socks and other
things as we'll and as fast as to pay
to buy one of the knitters.
Thanking you in advance,
MRS. w. 3. WHIDDEN
Route 1, Box 35, Ona, Fla.
The auto knitter is supposed
to knit hosiery. 1t seems to be
new invention, and I am I'M
able to give you any information
concerning it. If you can find
customers to supply, you will be
able to make money. The main
thing is finding a market for
what you produce. The machines
cost a good bit of money, and
only one out of a lot of people
is successful with it in a finan-
cial way. Be sure and learn all
you can about it before you part
with your hard-earned cash. This
letter in The Journal may put
you in touch with someone who
has already bought an "auto
knitter." Address letter to Mrs.
w. B. Whidden, Route /, Box
So, Ona, Fla, if readers have
auto knitters and know about
them.
I am coming to you, for advice
Can you tell me where I can buy {
coat-suit coat without the skirt?
prefer to make my skirts. 1 woul(
take one that had been worn some
if it was still nice. Do you know
of a place where they sell second
hand coats?
Respectfully,
MRS. L. E. REEVES.
The best way to get what you
want is to place an "ad' in The
Atlanta Daily Journal. Write to
Mr.. Sam Dull, advertising edi-
tor. He will tell you what the
cost to run an ad will be. Not
over 35 or so cents, and you will
get all the answers you are look
ing for. And good bargains can
be picked up. There are dealers
in "old clothes" here in Atlanta.
but it is rather risky to buy a
garment from them. One can't
tell where the clothes came from.
I am almost eighteen years OF
age, weigh rs pounds, light com
pleXion, medium brown hair.
l live on farm near Stone Noun
tain. I'm in love with a boy and h(
wants me to marry him. He is lit
tie younger than myself, but 1 dear
ly love him, and l think he loves
me. He doesn't go with any Other
girl. When I'm around him he acts
like he is crazy about me.
[ am thanking you for your very
best advice. CUTIE.
Why don't you wait awhile
longer to marry? The boy is de-
cidedly too young to have the
responsibility of wife upon his
shoulders. 1t won't hurt either
of you to wait at least year.
You can see him quite often and
thrill at his approach. He can
hold your hand and gaze into
your eyes, etc.-so why spoil
this pretty love story by waking
up to the realization that mar
riage is a drudgery and you
can't have bonnet because the
rent has to be paid, and hubby's
kisses taste like tobacco? Wait
awhile and delight in each
others affection in the mean
time.
AS [ have been reading your ad
vice to girls I would like to get some
information or advice. too.
Please tell me if you know Of
anything a mother with three small
children, ages six, four and one
years, can do in her home to carr
some money! I do al my work ant
help with the field work, too. W.
have had three years Of crop fail
ures and it seems I must earn some
money to buy winter clothes fol
my babies, as it takes what my hus
band can earn to buy food.
I know of several things [ could
do if I had some money to star
with, but I haven't a dollar. Yol
may print my letter if you wish, bu
please answer personally as early
as you can.
ANXIOUS MOTHER.
Suppose you write me again,
and tell me what YOU think you
will be able to do. Are you
good at darning? Can you mend
fine lingerie? Can you embroid-
err, crochet, or bake fine cakes?
Can you put up good jellies,
make paper flowers? These are
things a woman can do at home
and yet look after her babies if
she has any. With the coming
of the New Year. there may be a
way for you to pick up extra
