cation. Write to film exchanges adver-
tised on pictures shown in your town for
information desired
Try to think about the people with whom
YOU are conversing instead of yourself
timidity is only self-consciousness.
Willie Estes: wuold certainly say that
your weight is sufficient for your height
Bobbed hair is purely a matter of taste
l don think You are too large, but if you
have good suit of hair / would hest
tate to cut it. Blue, 1 beliye, will be
most becoming.
Suburbanite: Your interesting, amusing
letter shall have an immediate answer, al
though I do believe you ask it more for
the benefit of others than for personal in
formation. No. IA passenger on O train
Is entitled to as many seats as he or she
purchases. No. 2-No, I do not think it
right to make an express train out of a
passenger car of course 1t is sometimes
necessary to carry parcels along, but, If
only one seat is bought just that seat and
part of the rack overhead belongs to the
purchaser of that seat. l rode home this
week with woman who occupied two seats
turned together for her luggage, occupying
a third seat herself, and I am confident
she purchased only one ticket-not fair to
the other passengers or the express com
pany, do you think so?
Education: Thank you for your kind
words of commentator and for the compl-
| ment you pay me in asking my advice about
| the education of your children. Situated
as you are, l see that they will have to
| make the best of surrounding conditions
but do keep them supplied with good books.
Write to the best publishing houses, tell
| them what lines the children are most in
terested in and they will, 1 am sure, send
You list of worthwhile books.
Mary Jane: Your mother is certainly
right. Don't let anybody pander to your
| vanity and make you forget Your dignity
and self-respect When your parents try
to make you things in the right light
| it is for your sake far more than for theirs
/ believe when you give it serious thought
you will realize that one and two o'clock
in the morning, even one or two mornings,
or for that matter, IL or IL o'clock, is
too late an hour for girls and boys to be
out automobiling. Any long ride such as
| you speak of from one small town to an
| other is not the thing unless chaperons
of suitable age are along. Just suppose some-
| thing had happened to the machine and you
| had to make night of it so far from
home, with no older people along.
Flower Pots: Your flowers will look
much better if you paint your pots black
| or green, the lighter colors conflict with
the color of your flowers. Either black
with a green band, or green with black
band is good.
Fancy Work: ] have never made one of
| the spreads you speak of, Int my under
standing is that you take the ten quarter
unbleached muslin, get good dye, mix to
oughly first, allowing in your dye for the
water in the cloth making lighter shade,
dye as you would any other piece OF goods
dry and do not press; this gives Grim
killed. look. Apply the patches according
to your pattern, which may be purchased
from any good pattera company.
Porqhes: If your porch has no railing,
| or IL the foundation under 1t is unsightly,
| why don't you have one of your boys build
YOU some flower boxes that will run the
| length of the porch on either side of the
steps; on the outside of these boxes plant
| some trailing vines like coleus or wander
ing jew" These will very quickly hang
over and hide the bare and ugly underpin-
| ming of your porch. The boxes may be
filled with many beautiful flowers that do
not grow too tall. You say you are unable
| to get pots for all your flowers Couldn't
some of them go in these boxes? And the
| ones that have to stay in the tin can could
| have those ugly holders benefited greatly
| by a coat Of green paint.
Matrimony: AS a very general rule, ]
think a girl of sixteen rs too young to
marry. What in the world do you know
about the responsibility of life?
