DEAR FOLKS: I have gone
through your personal letters and
finding that none of them require
an immediate answer, l am begging
a few days holiday to get my Christ
mas letters written, Now that does
not mean that a week even will
elapse before you have your an
swers, so far as 1 can give them.
1t is a great pleasure to have your
letters, and pleasure to be OF
service to you.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
P. S. Have you any line CT work
you would care to have me follow
out in the new year? Would be so
glad for suggestions.
M. C. N: believe you are think
ing of the poems of Robert Service.
He wrote 1.-The Ballads of Cheecha-
ko," and many other poems of the
northern country. They are well
worth reading.
Bess: 1t is almost out of the Ques-
ton for me to give details of several
games through the column. 1t takes
such a large amount of space. You
failed to state the age of your
guests. Write me again and tell
me how old the girls and boys are
that you expect at your party. Yes,
| do think it is nice for young peo-
pie to have entertainments when it
does not interfere with school work.
Homesick: My dear girl, know
how you feel. You are just exactly
right about trying to have every
thing as nice as camp life will per-
init. Don't let down on the niceties
of living. Even if you have a plain
wooden table for your meals, set
your table just as carefully as you
would at home. 1t is not the cost of
what you serve as the way you serve
it. There is no reason why you
should not make q real home of your
shack. 1 was at camp last sum-
mer. A huge reservoir was being
constructed, and the people who
were working had no hope of being
through under four years. The viii
| lage set up for their residence was
| crude, but many of the small cot
| tages had flower boxes and dainty
white curtains and flowers in the
scraps of yards. The women were
making homes. And they were wear
ing dainty. but inexpensive ging-
hams, and they were living. That
| is what I want you to try to do.
Your husband VIII appreciate a
dainty place to come to after work
on the construction. Will be glad to
give you names of some magazines
that will probably be helpful to you.
| if you will send stamped addressed
! envelope.
Bert: The girl was very foolish,
| indeed, to be ''huffed" because you
asked her mothers permission to
take her to a dance. 1t was a EN-
tie, courteous thing for you to do.
If more boys and girls of sixteen
and Whereabouts would be so consid-
crate times would be better. l
wouldn't worry about her i'll humor,
she will get over it, and you were
most certainly in the right.
Bodied: Time and patience alone
will give you hair long enough to
''do up" This is one of the bad
points to extremes of styles. You
have to make a change and as with
bohbed hair that is difficult.
