Dear Folks:
You believe I think that I would
do anything possible to help you,
and won't you please understand
when I have to refuse it is just be-
causeSyour request is not within my
ability to grant.
For instance, so many Of the Cues
ton Box friends have written me
asking that I help them in securing
positions. You realize that if we
started that, our question box would
soon become an employment bureau,
that is not our purpose. Then, too.
l couldn't take such responsibility
or course, if you write asking me
where you can study to fit your
selves for certain positions, I try to
send you the names of well recon-
mended schools or colleges.
Another thing that it is impos-
Slble for me to do Is to act as sales
man. l would have to open up a
regular business establishment if
handled all the fancy work, quilts
and spreads that would be sent into
me; that, of course, I can't do. My
answer to anyone trying to dispose
of hand work is to join a woman S
exchange in some nearby town, that
is the safest method to pursue.
There is an exchange in Atlanta,
in the Connally building.
am delighted to do shopping, for,
OF course, Atlanta has stores much
larger than any Of the smaller towns
can support. 1t is a pleasure to be
Of this assistance, and as I have said

service. Requests for purchases
must be accompanied by certified
check or postoffice money order for
amount to cover price of purchase
and postage, 1 do the shopping, for
ward to you directly from the stores
and then the matter Is between the
store and you. Now that you un-
derstand that this shopping is just
part Of my idea of being helpful to
those out of touch with the larger
stores, 1 do hope you will feel at
liberty to call on me. Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.

When everything but dessert Is
served at one time, place the meat
gravy and either potatoes or rice
at your place, serve these and pass
the plate to some member of the
family and ask them to serve the
dish before them, some friend can
do this as well if no other member
Of the family Is present. If some
guest has a train or an engagement
to make, explain this and serve his
dessert Immediately when his meal
is finished, otherwise if somebody
at the table finishes their meal

home.

of the past. Shampoo your hair twice
a month, and massage the scalp
with pon1ade vaseline.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
