Dear Folks: Everybody is talking
radio these days, and what more
interesting scientific accomplish
Tnent can be thought of? The voice
of the world brought to your home.
Shortly the general question will
be: "Have you little radio in your
home" Frankly, I'll never be sat-
isfied until 1 can answer Eyes" to
that question.
So many questions about radios
have come to my department, and
just wish could answer them as
quickly as they should be. 1 can't
but Ill tell you who can. Write
your questions about radio to our
Radio Editor. He's an enthusiast
and right on his job and your an
swer will come quickly, and will be
far more satisfactory than anything
could give you.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
Fed Rose: Thank you for your
commentator, it is surely my desire
to make this department helpful.
/. A kodak picture is an informal,
thing, and while I do not approve
of promiscuous giving of pictures,
see less harm in one of this kind.
2. Your manner Of introduction is
absolutely correct.
8. 1t is certainly proper, and I
think very sweet for you to write
to your absent brother as often as
you can.
4. To my way of thinking it is
wrong and cruel not to break an en-
gagement with a man you have
found you do not love. Can you
think of a graver unkindness than
marrying man without loving him?
"Bobbie:" So glad to get your let
tee.
/. If you wish to make your sitting
room look larger use white paint
for your woodwork and either a
very pale gray or putty color for
your walls.
2. Your curtains for this room
should, Of course, conform to the
size of your windows. If thSs{oom
is dark I would use a light, gayly-
colored cretonne without any inside
curtains. Set your side curtain back
as far as you can and use a shallow
piece Of the cretonne for your middle
section. If your room is light enough
the net, square mesh as that does
not sag, makes the pretties under
curtains.
3. If you have brown hair and will
wash it every two weeks with Octa-
gon soap you will give it a lively
and not so oily look. I think you
will find that when you do this you
will not care to change the color of
it. I do not know how to remove
freckles, but do know if you will
use a good cold cream and busting
of powder before you go out in the
sun it will help keep them off.
q. I think the prettiest sport
dresses for girls your age are one
piece dresses with long waist line. I
notice that number of the girls
who are tired, of the bobbed hair are
using net, drawing it up. under
the back so as to give a rolled look.
I like the bobbed hair best, if it is
curry, otherwise the net looks good.
Dear Folks: I am giving here the
rules for the Health Game. Have
had letters from several mothers re-
QUesting it, and decided that it
would be good thing to put here
instead of putting it with any special
letter.
The Health Game
/. A full bath more than once a
week.
9. Brushing the teeth at least once
every day.
8. Sleeping long hours with win
dows open.
4. Drinking as much milk as pos
sible, but no coffee or tea.
s. Eating some vegetables or
fruit every day.
6. Drinking at least four glasses
of water a day.
7. Playing part of every day out
Of doors.
S. A bowel movement every morn
ing.
I have called attention to this
game in our Aunt Julia's letter box,
and asked the children to write me
if they would seriously play it. 1t
seems to me that while it was made
UP for little folks, it is a pretty good
game for us grownups.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
NGrievous Kid: Possibly the rea-
son the girls parents object to your
attentions to their girl is that you
have before said "too much" when
you felt impelled to give her a lee
ture. Now. my advice would be to
go to her parents and in a manly
wav tell them how you feel. Don't
make the mistake Of running down
the other boy, they'll surely lay it
to jealousy and nothing is so hate
full. Prove to this girl that YOU
are not jealous, and that you really
love her. 1t possibly will take time,
but if you honestly care for her
and not entirely for yourself you'll
find it worth while.
