ly Journal, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Folks: So glad you like the
Question Box and with each mail I
find your interest greater, and of
course my interest grows with yours.
Just a word here about PERSONAL
| letters. This last mail has brought
me quite a number. Your questions
are good and deserve thought. I
promise you prompt answers, but If
a few days elapse before you hear
from me please realize that am
making Investigations for you.
| Here are a few of the questions
| that came to me for personal answer
| SO you may see how the wind blows,
and they may suggest something
| that you care to ask about.
Trousseaus, shoes, games, books,
combs for hair waving, stencils for
painting porch furniture, organizing
a library club, q community club,
making money for worthy causes,
furnishing a nursery, naming a baby,
selecting clothes for wee children.
what children should read at home,

! if you think of anything that you
of your question box, write me. d.
Cordially, AUNT JULIA.
| Bob: Shirts with attached collars and
| cuffs are perfectly all right for any ordi-
! nary occasion, Especially is this so Of the
| all-white shirts. For any formal occasion,
though, would prefer the other kind.
|
| Knickerbockers will soon be worn by all
women. But my sincere wish is that they
will not. AS soon as woman or girl
ceases to be feminine just that soon she
loses half her charm. ~
| A. E. c.: I think, the Berry school q
| could wish for no better or finer school for
her. Write Miss Martha Berry, Mount
| Berry. Ga. The eighth grade is well adj
vanced for girl of your age. Let me
| know if You decide to go to Berry. Sew
eral of the Letter Box girls have gone there.
Eta B.: If You have such a nice roomy
porch why don't you give porch party tC
your graduating class? / do not think that
| games are absolutely necessary to the enjoy
ment of an evening, but know one girl who
said that just talking parties were 'sc
sticky' until she found a way to make the
people change their seats, and this was hel
way, I'll pass it on ito you. She. divided
| her evening up to the time OF Refreshments
into sections, say Of fifteen to twenty min
uees. She made out different sets of mum
bers, one set, for each division Of time, theI
she numbered her chairs, benches, swings
and hammocks by pasting ON the numbers
so they could be removed the next day. The
boys drew the first number after the girls
i we're seated each boy taking the chair By
the girl whose chair number he held. at thu
next division of time the hostess passed thu
tray with the tightly folded numbers to thu
girls and they changed to the chair by thu
boy whose number they held, so you see tina
Ithey gave chance to everybody to talk II
everybody else. This would be particular!
nice for your crowd if many Of them are t.
go away after school closes.
Little Girl: OF course the Question Boz
is for little girls, too, Yes, l notice thai
quite number of girls your age are roach
ing their hair back with comb; if YOU
hair is wavy 1 believe you could use one
of the combs and still have your hair soft
around your face. Send me P. o. order
and the color, light or dark, that you wan
and 1 will be glad to get you one.
Tired Mother: Indeed do not thinf
t it is ''slouchy'' to stack your dishes il
your dishpan at night. Scrape them ant
cover with water until the next day, wheI
you are less tired. Believe me, you will
find 1t not only helps you, but the entire
family of you try some of these resting
schemes. I would advise your washing
the silver at night.
