Dear Folks:
The question as to how to put up
the pull curtains has come from
several directions, and I'm going to
give you 8 little talk on that sub.
ject, asking all my correspondents
who asked this question to take this
as an answer.
There is a easement cloth on sale
at one of our leading stores. 1t
is of natural pongee color, a cotton
material, highly mercerized. A set
OF pulleys come for each window,
your curtain is laid in small box
pleats, each pleat missing the next
by the width of the pleat. This ar
rangement allows the curtain to
hang straight when pulled together.
When drawn back in the day time
the curtain hangs softly at the side
of the window. The pulley and
cords are really quite attractive.
This arrangement you see makes
combination shade at night and
drapery in the day.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Hazel E. Cathron, of Florida:
We have had a request for your
address. A lady wishes to write to
you regarding the snake-vine seed.
We have misplaced your address.
Bonnie Brown:
I say to you without hesitation,
take your mother advice she GER
tainly has your welfare and hapi-
ness at heart.

You certainly have the right idea
when you think it would be well for
you to take the eighth grade another
year, because you feel that your av
erage was lower than consistent
with q good education.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May I come
in this windy March day? 1t looks like
spring is really here in Florida. Peach and
plum trees are in full bloom. How many
of YOU farm women have put up n martins
home for those little birds? They have
helped keep Mr.. Hawk from taking off my
chickens for years, and they seem so happy,
too, in their little home. 1 see some of the
married women are writing, so 1 will write,
and hope my letter will be a help and inter-
est to some others of the big Journal fam

For the past seven years l have lived on
a farm, and think it fine. / am OF ner
vous temperament, having had nervous
breakdown two years ago, when my sixth

and hustle of city life. One thing we have
got in our country school is an organ, paid
for on easy payments out of money raised
by having ice cream and box suppers.
Music at school is enjoyed by all the pupils,
you may be sure. Teachers, can't you find
some way TO get your school an organ? ]
have been out of school eighteen years, and
received my education in a large city. In
all the years that I went to school it seems
the lot was an honest set. Now it seems
so different. Books, pencils and paper dis
appear, and no one knows where to. Cant
You teachers make special talk on hon
esty. good manners and last of all, try to
speak to children against using curse words
and vulgarity at school. These things
so common, 1T seems, and teachers will
readily call a child a tettIer if she tells her
! of such talk. If l was a teacher I would
try to have hot cup of cocoa served in
winter with cold lunch 1t is stimulating
and nour.shing to all children. How many
