Dear Folks: I asked a question
Of a friend the other day and when
it was answered the thought came
to me that possibly that question
had come to your mind. too. SO in
case it has, here's the answer:
couldn't just exactly understand how
the railway trains were lighted. T
had been answered several times
with the statement that they car
ried their own batteries, still I could
not see how it was worked. One aft.
Ernoon recently was sitting at our
little station waiting for a train and
when the train came in and stopped
I noticed underneath it a little band,
just Like on a piece Of machinery
and it was as busy as could be. My
curiosity was aroused and when I
asked, what is it," the reply was,
THAT is the band to the motor that
supplies the light for the train" and
there was one busy little motor I'M
der each coach. Let me congratu-
late you question box folks on the
character of the questions you have
been asking. They have been a pleas
ure to answer. Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
LESSEE: My dear girl, you must
have missed my letter saying that
simply could not take the RESPONSE
bility of securing work for girls. I
will give you the reply have given
others, write to the secretary of the
Y. w. C. A. of the town you wish to
go to. Ask her what the work con-
ditions are there.
Mother: Albatross makes the
warmest, highest little rornpers i'm
aginable. If your house is poorly
heated and you think your little folks
get chilled, L would certainly recon-
mend the albatross. 1t costs more,
Of course, than the cotton materials,
but I'd rather have fewer garments
and wash them oftener. You can get
the little wool stockings, too. OF
course you do not want to get the
baby oVerheated. but it is best by
far to have plenty of fresh air and
warm, lightweight clothes.
Bride-elect: 1 agree with you
thoroughly that lace is a nuisance.
like the hemstitched garments for
general wear. Am sending samples.
Lunch: Nothing is nicer to start
your winter luncheon than a cup Of
cream Of tomato soup. Cook thor
oughly and strain your tomatoes I'M
til only the clear juice remains. Heat
this to the boiling point after adding
a good pinch of soda. Heat an equal
amount Of sweet milk to the boiling
point, adding about tablespoon of
butter to a half pint of milk, salt and
pepper to taste. When both liquids
are at the boiling point, add the
milk to the tomato stirring we'll all
the time; put in a double boiler and
keep hot until ready to serve. With
this serve the small squares Of toast
ed lightbread.
|. Beauty-spot: Here's a heart-to-
heart talk for you, my dear girl.
Everybody else will think you much
prettier if you think less about your
own looks. Very probably the few
freckles you have on your nose keep
you from being FLAT looking" Just
pretty face does not hold affection.
Try to take an interest in the lives
OF those around you, do something
to make other people happy and ]
think you will find that nobody will
notice the freckles and everybody
will like you. I'm sure the boy will;
he is probably just dying to talk to
you about himself and how can he
# you are always thinking about
yourself?
