Dear Folks: A letter from one of
our circle brought to my mind. sug-
gestion that 1 have wanted to make
TO you for some time. Her letter
spoke of a delightful reading circle
that had been formed in her com.
munity, and asked for suggestions
for their winters work.
When it came to the books they
were to read, as the letter was from
Georgia, I Immediately suggested
writing to the library commission,
Stata noY9ifnJ 20 II
books. These could be secured from
the commission by checking the
books on the list and laying the
postage charge to bring and return
the books. Of course 1 do not know
what states have this commission,
but where it functions it is certainly
a great help to communities having
| no library service.
Now for my suggestion to you all
Why not have a reading circle this
winter in your neighborhood, and
While one member reads aloud, let
the others work on Christmas gifts!
Set aside a certain period for this
and at the end of this period have
real social no r, with a hot drink
and some sandwiches or cakes? DC
try it some of you and let me know
how you like it.

AUNT JULIA.
Belle B. T.: On a coat dress OF
blue ricotine a fine vale piauet
collar and the deep cuffs wJLd be
good. These cuffs go on the lone
sleeve that fits closely to the wrist
the opening in the sleeve snaps and
the snaps are seWed on so tn. t the
sleeve literally snaps together, not
one side over the other. On each
side of this OPP is wed two
or more back horn buttons, in the
cuff button .:oles are made to fit
these buttons, the cuff is basted on
so that when you turn it back you

spective buttons. The collar is coat
shaped, t gives a very smart
| touch to a dress.
Nellie: You will like the JERSEY
dress, L believe it will wash. but
would suggest that when you dry il
you use a pillow case to hold it.

B. B.: Personally I think you are
a very silly girl to think of stopping
school at fifteen. What on earth
are you going to do with yourself
until you are grown? My advice to
you would be to plug harder than
ever at school, surely you are not
| going to let a thing like mathematics
get the best of you? 1t just isn't
any use to think that I'm going to
advise you against your parents
