nice and fine letters from the cousins, both
girls and boys. There were some 1 didn't

cousins know what snow is, also snow ball

some of you I would make a man
of you. A snow fell here several days ago
and is not all melted. Hello there, L. e. S..
of Georgia, what has become of you? Have
you forgotten this kid of North Carolina?
And II. NJ. c. of South Carolina, why don't
you sound note in the corner. Three
cheers for all who wrote me and hearty
handshake. Well, auntie, the good old
spring will soon be he.e and won't I be
glad as spring is my fayorite season!
Spring seems so lovely with all it's sweet
flowers after a long and blustery winter.
1 think jonquils are so lovely. Did you
ever see any, auntie? Listen, cousins, my
800 pounds. Father has killed four this
winter totaling 1000 pounds. Guess most
of you are in school, and that is the best
place for one to be. For this day and time
an education is the best thing one can
get. / have sympathy for those who are
deprived of an educa ton. Some miss it for
one reason, some for another and some
have not the opportunity to obtain it, and
some that have the opportunity do not make
use of it. But they, 4 general thing
see the day that they would put forth
cry effort in that way if they could only
call back that lost opportunity. Listen,
auntie, will you allow me space to speak
just a few words to the young girls. Lis

couldn't much more than tell you from
wax figure that you see in the dry goods
stores. Girls, it's a shame and sin to the
civilized race. Now I'm not going back or
not primping at all, for 1 think girls should
primp and look nice enough, also use
powder and other things, too, if they will
use them with any judgment. It's disgust
ing to see how some girls dress these days.
The worthwhile young man doesn't approve of
it, With love to auntie and all the cous-

QUESTION BOX
Easter: 1t is lovely that your little, girls
birthday falls on the Saturday before
Easter and nothing could be more fun than
an Easter egg hunt. 1t would be nice if
your little daughter could go visiting while
the eggs were being hidden then she would
have all the fun of the hunt. too. Little

chocolate would be nice; However, l

Mrs. D. NJ. W., Adrain, Ga: Sorry we
cannot handle charity such as you write OF
through the Question Box or Letter Box
Traveller: 1t certainly is a proposition to
know how to travel with light luggage in
the summer and still feel fresh One frlend

very much the same layout, with the eX-
ception of a medium light wolfe dress that
she could change in the evenings. her
travelling hat was inconspcuous and be-
coming and she put into the second suit
case a small crush hat for motor travel:
night when she was at the hotel. as she
did her other crepe de chine garments,
they required only few minutes work
and no ironing. l hope this will be helpful
to you.
School Girls Yes, I will be glad to give
you a good rule for peppermints:
Peppermints, ~ cups. sugar, u cup
boiling water, drops oil of peppermint.
Put sugar and water into granite sauce
pan and stir until sugar is dissolved. Boil
ten minutes; remove from fire, add pepper
mint and beat until right consistency; drop
from tip of spoon on buttered paper.
Bess: Surely a timid person is to be
pitied. Here's a suggestion that has proven
helpful to others. Try with all your might
to think of the other person when you
is self-consciousness. Read the current
events so that you can discuss the mat
ters of the day, but above all things be
interested in other people.
Newlywed: Here is the recipe for the
first successful cake I ever baked. I did
it when was 'newlywed:"

House: Do not make your windows bare
for summer. Change your draperies if your
present ones are heavy. Use thin net or
cretonne. You can have loops made of the
! cretonne and pull your curtains back if Won
like them that way best.
| Jeanne: Your blue and white-checked tat
| feta would be lovely combined with white
| Georgette. 1 saw a new blue and white
| Bingham combined with white organdie
There were four panels I should say four
| inches wide. with small ruffes on each
! side, decorating the skirt. These were put
| IN at the waist line to the sides of the front
! and back, not sewed to the skirt but turned
! under the hem and fastened on the wrong
! side where the hem was stitched. The
| waist line was low, as most of them are.
! The waist was in jumper effect the over
| port nf the hlrn ar witn and the urdar
OF white organdie. The sash was mediumly
| VIDE, crushed and held in place by strips of
| the blue and white about three-quarters of
! an inch wide put at intervals around the
| waist line these strips seemed about three
| inches long and, from the crush of the sash
L should say that was probably two inches
| wider. If this was pretty in bingham, it
| would be lovely in silk.
