Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1923-09-29


Dear Folks; The next thing to
styles that you'll be interested in, I
believe. is what other people are
making for Christmas. My observa-
ton in the shops showed that people
were taking a far more sensible view
of Christmas giving this year than
for several years past. Household
linens held first place. Towels, gen.
orally the small or guest size, seal
Ioped on the edge with lovely filet
crochet edging. l am glad to say
that the embroidery showed either
the dainty pastel shades or white.
Towels with lurid embroidery never
appeared to me. Sheets made of the
unbleached muslin, the hem hem
stitched double, and either a filet
crochet or a beautifully embroidered
monogram. Pillow cases, bureau
scarfs, tufted spreads. Oh, the beau
ty of this last piece of work and, or
course, smaller articles like hand
kerchiefs, hand hemmed or hem
stitched, of batiste or linen; collars,
some with very fine tatting or filet
edges. with cuffs to match; Vestees
to match. where the set was elabor-
ate. The embroidery on these was
white. Lavender bags, made Of fine
tarlton or orsandie, two to six in the
group, smelling just like our grand
mothers linen closet. Shoe bags,
and, by the way, I'm going to give
YOU A detailed description Of these
in A week or so; they are a delight
I saw very few tawdry things. Cor
daily.
AUNT JULIA.
Gordon Rogers. Daisy, Ga:
Would like to hear from any rel
alive of his father Lem Rogers,

relatives in Florida.
Mrs. c.
Several times ] have given to peo-
pie information as to how l gained
flesh, and as you evidently were not
reading our department at that
time, will ask those who have RID
this before to overlook the repet-
ton. l took two teaspoons of con-
densed milk in a tea cup Of water
as hot as | could drink it, between
the morning and noon meal. [ kept
this up for about eighteen months
and gained so pounds. If [ was
very fatigued, I'd repeat this drink
at night. Stir the milk we'll, you
lose in that way the very sweet
taste.
Brown is a great favorite this
fall, there is also a new blue that
will be much worn.
lsta Elder, Aibermarle, n. c.:
I think you have delightful set
of fav0rite authors.
Onita Lett, Lower Peachtree, Ala.
We cannot publish in this de-
partment advertisements of work,
you would do best by sending your
advertisement to the classified adj

not be much. Ask for rate when

ly.
