Dear Folks
A letter came from the mother of
several school children, thanking me
for my diet list and the health game
we published some weeks ago. She
was also ambitious to start a Par.
ent-Teachers' association in her
small town and wanted to know
whether one could be successfully
conducted in so small a community.
[ have replied to her personally that
I saw no reason why even the
smallest community should not do
fine work along that line. The best
way to build up a community is to
make things better for the chill
dren.
If you all are interested in this
yn1.1Z 1N1n 70 r tI-xy
to give you programs for such work,
and to help you all can in organic
ing a Parent-Teachers' club in your
town.
Cordially,
Aunt Julia.
Golden Curls: Don't be discour-
aged about your asparagus fern,
they take quite time to get a good
start and then if you take any de-
cent care of them it is nearly i'm
possible to stop them. For goodness
sake, don't touch the potatoes, that
is what makes them grow. I have
found that good woods dirt with sys-
tematic watering, not SO much as to
make them rot, but sufficient to
keep them moist, an occasional drink
of weak tea water and about once g.
year a dose Of castor oil around the
roots, and that's the whole story.
a good cheese filling for sand
witches is made by: grinding the
cream cheese with a slice Of canned
pimento unless you are so fortunate
as to have some good home pre-
served SWEET red peppers, then
use that in place Of pimento men
toned, mash this together after
grinding, add salt and pepper to
taste. like a dash Of Worcestershire
sauce, rub this. until it makes a
smooth paste and spread on thin
slices of bread that have been first
spread thinly with mayonnaise
dressing. Some people like the
cheese ground or mashed smooth and
then seasoned with finely chopped
parsley and sweet mixed pickles, salt,
pepper and sauce. I like the latter
best myself.
Mrs. H. F.: Your ducks should not
be plucked oftener than every three
months, they cannot make feathers
faster.
"Georgia:" You would be "quite
correct" in wearing your two-tone
pumps with stockings of either color
with your black satin dress.
Susan: You've asked a pretty big
question. There are many maya
zines buying stories, in fact with
the exception of a very few I think
they all buy stories that are worthy
of printing. If you have a story
that you wish published, notice the
class of stories published in the
magazines you read, choose the ones
that carry stories like yours, send
your story to one at a time with a
addressed envelope, for it's re-
turn if not accepted. You may have
to try many, but if your story is
good "try, try again."
Porch Paint: From what you tell
me of the hard wear that the paint
on your porch gets I should advise
a good deck paint. This paint comes
in an attractive gray and you may
imagine if it is used for the deck Of
ship it must have wearing quail
ties.
Jewell Vowel: I have sent your
letter to Louise, enclosing your
stamp; you will no doubt shortly get
the information you desire about the
SOIlS. one has DC6ll very UuSy, IIldS
that is why the answer did not come
sooner.
we would go fishing and in bathing, huck-
LIBERTIES will soon be ripe and we could pick
berries. Wonder how many of you cousins
like to go to Sunday school? I sure do and
am going every Sunday. Hazelle Parke, I
wonder what has become of you. I will not
describe myself this time, my age is fifteen
years young; who has my birthday, March
with a lonely country girl, I'll assure you
answer. With much love to Aunt Julia
