Dear Folks: When a question like
this. What must I have in my
spring WARDROBE" comes to me and
is not accompanied by any informa-
ton as to where the questioner
lives, how much entertaining is
done in the town, what class Of en-.
tertaining, and no indication as to
how much is to be spent, am stag.
gered.
Now won't you please when you
want to know about such things,
let me know how much you wish
to spend, on what occasion you will
wear these clothes, and if you are
going on a visit, how long it will
last and whether you will attend
many entertainments, and whether
these are likely to be afternoon or
evening? l can give you more sat-
isfactory answers if you will.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
Laura Bell: For "the evening
dress" with your brunette coloring,
I think the blue satin underslip
and the green Georgette overdress
would be prettiest, a bunch of the
small pastel flowers where the girdle
meets would be good. 1 agree with
you that the satin and Georgette
might be made into a lovely girdle.
The square neck is going to be
worn this spring, particularly for
evening dresses. Many women have
decided that the boat line is too
severe.
Wild Rose: I am not certain
about the age for entering hospitals,
but thirty-five is not too old to take
up teaching. What would you do
about your brother? There you have
a problem. Is the amount received
from the chickens and eggs one-half
Of the net returns from the farm?
TO get at a proper adjustment you
would have to take into considera-
ton the upkeep of the place. after
insurance, taxes, etc, are paid, the
living expenses must be added, and
what is left should be equally di-
vided. OF course, if you leave home,
some one will have to be left there
to look after things, and that ex-
pense added. [ can well understand
how you feel about independence,
but greater dependence will come
unless you invest your part of the
income wisely. Have a frank talk
with your brother, tell him that
you wish to have something of your
own, 1 do not believe that you will
ever be as happy as in a home
where you have been mistress for
so long. If you have your own
bank account and investments, and
can feel that in so far as that goes
you are independent, it will help a
lot
L. G. P: Sent, your question to
Radio Editor.
L. r.: Am sorry not to be able to
print your request. 1t would be i'm
possible for me to give you the
names of all the schools mentioned
in Alabama and Georgia. You want
to be very certain about any school
before recommending it.
E. B.: Yes, I do think you can dye
the peacock blue crepe, black. You
will have much better success if you
rip it apart and carefully wash in
Ivory soap or some other pure soap
of this character. / have never tried
the black soap you speak of; black
is much harder to do successfully
than the lighter colors, and / would
use one of the standard dyes, going
exactly by directions. I am ~ cow
ard, and generally send my things to
a professional, but l see no reason
if you use care and follow directions
you should not succeed.
Terry: Satin crowns and felt brims
will not be worn this spring; in fact,
they are not being worn now, but
the satin crown and straw brim will
be quite correct.
Mrs. r, L. Crow, Gainesville, Ga:
Asks some one to tell her if it is
profitable to raise guinea pigs or
calves for sale. She also wishes to
exchange some books. She has Gene
Stratton Porter's "Her Fathers
Daughter and Lew Wallace's Ben
Hur'' which she will exchange for
Eleanor Porter's 'fMary Marie or
Zane Greys ITO the Last Man"
