Dear Folks:
I received letter a few days ago
that was so friendly and so strictly
personal that cannot quote it, but
the writer said that she believed
when all our readers realized that
this column was opened to them
that / would be swamped with let
tiers. Well, that is just what want.
l read every single one of the let
tiers myself and if it took me three
times as long I'd be glad. There
has come to me through this ques-
ton box a friendship for you all
that is very sweet and refreshing.
Please do not hesitate to write me
just as you feel. Your letters will
be treated as those of close personal
friends. When they require person
al answers and request comes for
no publicity you can rest assured
that when answered and sealed in
the envelope addressed to you, your
letter is destroyed. 1 want your con
fidence and affection.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
LUCY:
No. /: I believe that the way to
request blessing at the table would
be: "So-and-So, will you please ask
a blessing on this meal?"
No. 2: In making an introduction
say, "So-and-So, want you to meet
So-and-So;" never say meet So-and
So" Nothing sounds as crude.
No. 8: A girl of your age should
look we'll with bobbed hair providing
the hair is not too thin or your face
too long.
VIOLET:
You ask me whether I think il
any harm for a boy "to be holding
your hand or touching you every
few minutes when you are together
on Sunday?" I must ask why par
ticularly Sunday? If a boy takes
your arm to help you across some
difficult place, there's no harm in
that, but do not allow~a boy to put
his hand on you; it is an intimacy
that is unnecessary and without rea
son. Certainly all engagement
presents should be returned when
an engagement is broken. If boy
and girl are old enough to CORE
spond, or if their parents approve
there is no reason why pleasant
correspondence should not be kept
up. 1t depends upon the degree OF
friendship between the young people
as to how often they write.
BETTY:
Just at present, the shoe question
seems to be a trifle ''up in the air, >
but from the way things look, be-
Ieve that low shoes will be worn
as much if not more this winter
than last. Satin slippers for dressy
wear and kid for morning and street
wear.
To yor1 second question, I think
1 can answer that capes, coats and
suits will be worn. The cape is diff
ferent somewhat from last years
model, and the coat suit, I believe
will be best when made on straight
lines with the coat of medium length
that is, we'll below the hip, but not
to the knee.
AS to furs, I believe you will have
a very broad choice there, squirrel
seems to be very good. From the
present outlook, chokers will still
hold good.
AS the dresses get longer the heels
will of necessity get higher. For
strictly walking, I think a heel on
the military order, somewhat higher
than last year., will be best.
Just now the large hat is shown
most, but authorities say that with
the winter winds, the medium and
small hats will come into their own.
1t is we'll when you can to have a
large hat for dress and a small hat
for knock-about.
Baby caps have the rosettes of
narrow satin ribbon, with just the
chin strap between. OF course, you
will see the dainty muslin strings on
many caps, but the rosette and chin
strap is almost "chew proof" so it
continues in popularity.
Kinds Honey and Almond Cream
is not an animal fat and will not
make hair grow. 1t may be used
both day and night with good effect.
MRS. JESSE HALL:
The S. A. Clayton Co., East Hunt
er street, Atlanta, Ca, buys human
hair that is in good condition. Write
them.
"EMBRODERISTE
THANK you so much for your
letter. believe the use of
a thin solution of gum arabic
will be best for your dress. 1t is
difficult to get them to look just
right when they have been put
