Dear Folks: 1 have had so many
requests for suggestions as to where
hand-work may be disposed of to the
best advantage that l am forced to
make the announcement that | can
not undertake to sell or place any
such articles.
1t would, indeed, be a pleasure
for me to do this, but you will, be-
lieve, realize that that would be a
business in itself.
When it comes to making pur-
chases, that is very different. All
that I do in such a case is to take
where l feel you can get the best
value in that particular article, or
take your sample to all stores until
L either find it's match or fail. The
package is sent direct to you and
that is the end. If I undertook to
place articles for sale l would have
to have a license to do so. have to
have a storeroom for articles and
be responsible for their sale or re-
turn,
Please believe that it is lack of
time and space and not inclination
that prevents my trying to dispose
of the lovely tufted spreads and so
forth that I have had offered for
such a purpose.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
Mr.. c., of Citra, Fla;
Your letter received. So far
have been unable to get any trace
of the box of fruit you so kindly
sent me Christmas. Sickness pre-
vented my going to the office until
after your letter had been there
week; that explains my delay in
writing to you. Am sending you q
personal letter also.
Gene: / was so glad to get your
letter, Surely there is no reason in
the world why a country boy
shouldn't try to keep his hands in
decent condition. After you have
had your hands in water until they
are in a softened condition. it is nee
essary to use an astringent to close
up the pores before doing any work
where the dirt will likely be ground
in. Pure vinegar is just as good as
anything else for this purpose. At
night. use a lotion. Put white vase
line around your nails.
Leathe: I wish, dear, that you
you'd give me the ages of the young
folks to be entertained and some
IDEA Of the sort of games and en-
tertainments you are in the habit
of having. Then I would be in 81
better position to advise you.
Blue Eyes: A girl of fourteen is
just entirely too young to be worry
ing about whether some boy is 60
ing with some other girl. Please do
not say keeping company" BY
this time next year you will in all
probability be wondering what the
b. rs name was that took you to
the school picnic this past summer.
Try to read good books, be interest
ed in things other than those that
concern yourself entirely. Take good
care of your skin, your nails and
your hair. Do not try to wear the.
extremes Of fashion and, above all
other things, remember to be cour-
teous and thoughtful of older people
and you stand mighty good chance |
to be popular. Like boys, but don't !
be wild over them
Jane: DR.. Hollis book on the care
of babies was the one l spoke of for |
keeping the baby well. Your physi- |
clan when the baby seems the least |
ailing. A slight sickness in a baby |
can quickly develop into something |
alarming, and you should not take |
the slightest chance.
