Dear Folks: Some one asked me
the other day if L was having a
good time attending to other peo-
pies business" my reply was that
in this column your business was
mine, and I hope you, too. feel that
way about it.
So many splendid personal letters
came to me in this last mail, am
answering them just as quickly as
possible some of them, of course, re-
quire Investigations and they take
longer in the answering, but it is
a great pleasure to have you write
me as you do. Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
s. M. H.: If you will take a
piece Of advice from Aunt Julia
study very hard. You are young
and you can teach yourself as well
as your child.
There are many ways Of self i'm
provement. Careful reading and the
study of spelling and grammar.
You will never regret the time
spent with books and you will be
able to help your child in his school
work.
You asked to have your letter cor
rected. Do notice it when in its
turn it is printed and observe how it
was cut.
S. r. P: No. 1 A girl should be
old enough to- know her own mind
and be ready to accept the re-
sponsibilities of life before she con-
siders marriage as to the age that
depends on the individual girl. Mar
riage at too early an age is unques-
tionably a mistake.
A boy should have his bread and
butter problem settled and certainly
his character formed before he de-
cides on so serious a step.
No. 2. My reply to your second
question would be ''I am sorry that
you have so little regard for my
wishes"
No. 8. So. far I have never found
any cut and dried rules as to tell
ing whether a person loved you.
There are certain things that you
can count on their not being if their
love amounts to anything, for in
stance, inconsiderate, selfish, care
less of your good name, Indifferent
and cruel.
No. 4. No. I do not think "hand
holding" proper or nice. as to, its
going no further, what reason have
you to suppose it won't, the best
proposition is not to give it chance
by such a beginning.
No. 5. The best way to keep a
timid person or one who talks lit
tie sufficiently interested in the con-
versation to keep it going is to ig-
more their tinidity, don't ply them
with continual questions, but try to
find topics that you know will in
terest them and discusse them SEN
sibly.
No. 6. Most certainly girl should
not be engaged to man if she
has no intention of marrying, where
in the world would the decency of
such proceedings be?
Country Boy: If you will write
to Miss Templeton, Library Com
mission, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga,
you will get all the help and in
formation you want about books.
You most certainly can get them.
there are of course regulations, but
my understanding is that the cost
is merely the postage for sending
and returning.
Your letter is very good and I
should think you were advanced
enough to take up the business
course of which you write, and you
certainly are wise in your decision.
What you decide to study would, of
course, depend on your talent, I
wish it were possible for you to go
to the Georgia School Of TechnoI-
ogy.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I would
like ever so much to Join your happy circle.
l have written once before, guess the wind
blew my letter away, as l have not seen it
in print. I am going to school and am in
the sixth grade. Who has my birthday? 1
was fourteen last January 6. I will give
you all an Idea how look: Have black hair
brown eyes, fair complexion. Cousins write
to me, I will answer all letters received.
Your little friend, RUTH WOOTEN.
