Dear Folks-When your personal
letters come in, it is just about as
exciting as opening Christmas pack
ages, and when 1 am really able to
be Of help, then I am happy. When
I cannot find the things you want
it is quite as much of a disappoint-
ment to me as to you.
Now let me tell you this about
matching goods. Ready-made clothes
are hard to match in the exact ma
terials. AS rule the makers OF
these garments either buy the whole
output, of factory or have the
goods made to order. It is often
possible to get some material that
looks well in combination, and I al
ways send sample when the exact
goods cannot be found. Please re-
member this when writing and in
close stamp for reply.
It is never any trouble for me to
shop for you. Just be a little pa
tient, for with so many letters each
has to have it's turn.
Cordially, AUNT JULIA.
J. VI asked our druggist about
removing the castor oil from tho
fiber rug. He says sulphuric ether
will come nearer removing it without
injury to the rug. You would, OF
course, have to use this with care
and out of doors. Old Dutch
Cleanser, he says, sometimes re-
moves, but this requires scrubbing
and you would have to use great
care not to break the fiber.
Laurel-When you are so unde-
cided which boy you like best, it is
a pretty safe be THAT you do not
care sufficiently for either to marry
him. Try seeing which one you can
do best without. You can't expect
me to approve Of a girl being en-
gagged to two men at one time.
Mary--I have written before, but
you probably missed the issue of
the paper, that it is impossible for
me to advise any girl to leave her
home and take a position in a city.
Yes, there is a school of telegraphy
in Atlanta. The Western Union
Telegraph company conducts a
school, and the Southern Bell Tele'
phone company has a school for tele'
phoneaoperators. Before coming to
a city, write to the secretary of the
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton and ask her about work and
place to live.
Belle-The length Of your skirt
depends a good deal on your size.
A very short person cannot wear a
skirt as long as a tall person. Stripes
make you look taller and pla1ds
shorter. Eight inches from the
ground is good moderate length.
and perfectly in style.
Nellie-I think turkey is. a very
over-rated dish. A good fresh pork
roast, with baked sweet potatoes and
candied apples is to my taste far
better. And that is what I would
have for my Christmas dinner. II
you like the dressing, and really
that is the best part, a regular tur-
key dressing served with the roast
is delicious; you can also use the
cranberry sauce. You know a fresh
pork ham is called the Poor Mans
Turkey" If 1 were ever so rich
Id prefer it.
Dora-Bobbed hair is still good on
very young girls, but I notice that
the older girls are using nets to draw
their hair up. The style of huge
puffs on the sides was never good.
Soft putting Of the hair with half
the ear showing is considered good
now.
