Dear Folks: have many letters
with the same question, so I'm 60
ing to take few Of them and give
general answer, trusting that they
will help everybody.
!. If I did fine handwork, sewing,
crocheting, tatting, knitting or en-
broidery and wanted to earn money
by such work, and if I couldn't find
ready market at home I'd take
out a membership in a Woman's EX-
change (there's one in the Connally
building, Atlanta, Ga.); I would put
an advertisement in daily paper.
2. If l wanted to study millinery
and dress making 1 would first make
an effort to get a good teacher in
my own home, actual experience is
best. Failing in that I would take
correspondence course from a good
school. Send me a stamped envelope
for such an address,. cannot take
the responsibility Of advising girls
to leave their homes. ,...
3. This column will not advise
using dye Of any kind for hair or
eye lashes, but will say that white
vaseline rubbed into the edge of
the lid has been known to make
lashes grow longer and thicker, and
it is good for the lids.
4. Unless a face cream or lotion
is made from animal fats it will
not grow hair. ~ '>

rag rugs can be purchased for rs

and add three and, .one-half table
spoons of sugar, one heaping tea
spoon of butter, melted, one teaspoon

E. Clinton Marshall and jamie Lee
Floyd: Mrs. G. NJ. BaXley, Istachat-
Ia, Fla, has, written a lovely letter
in interest of the rheumatism in
your families. I cannot handle pre-
scriptions either in the letter box or
personally, but if you care TO- you
can write to her.
L. M. G.: Do you think it would
help anybody to publish such story
as you mention. There is so much
sorrow in the world, anyway. If
you think it might help some one
else get your manuscript in order,
writing carefully on one side of your
paper and mail it with return
postage to any Of the publishers
whose name you will find on the
back of any book. I mention Har-
per & Bros, Publishers, New York,
N. Y.
Apple Green: If the crowd is too
large to be seated at one table and
you haven't small tables that you
could use in addition, just divide
your crowd equally. Don't separate
the men and women, but as nearly
as possible keep your number of each
equal. And be sure that the second
table has food as hot and as care
fully served as the first and that the
table is fresh. I think any girl who
shows such consideration for her
mother will find reward some day
in the thought of what she gave.
There is always a reward for good.
