Dear Folks: 1 haven't a doubt
that you all have feeling against
what we used to know as Spring
Cleaning" 1t just suggested that
our houses were never cleaned in
the winter. We can clean and clean
when fires are going, and the Yery
next day find as much trash and
dust as we did before. That / be-
ieve is why the Spring Cleaning
custom originated.
It is about time, thank goodness,
to take down stoves. If you give
your stoves the proper treatment
when you take them down, and
have what repairing is necessary
done to them, you will find that the
opening of next winter will bring
on less work and worry. Have sent
out flower and plant catalogs as re-
quested.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Mrs. f. r. t.: If you are going
to live in a suitcase this summer
in your travels, let me suggest that
you have three bloomer dresses for
your. three-year-old girl, made of
pongee silk. These you can en-
broider if you wish, but the plain
ones are very smart. They stay
fresh looking longer and launder
easily. OF course you will want
something dainty for the little girl
to wear when you stop on your
drive, so you can make her some
real girl dresses of fine soft wolfe,
these take up SO little of your pack
ing room. Yes, will send you
samples.
Bee: 1t seems to me that you do
not use much system in your work.
Of course 1 know that it is easier
for the head of a house to do the
work than it is for her to make the
effort to get some one else to do it,
but you are bringing up selfish set
of young brothers and sisters. Call
a business meeting of your fam
lily. First planning the work out,
so that everybody viii have a share.
Talk matters over frankly, let them
feel that you think that if they I'M
derstood they would want to have
their share in the home-running
You will find that they will take UP
their share, after you have once
made this stand, see that they keep
up their share. Take your part of
the pleasures. When you grow old
they will feel that you are not a
part of their life and shelf is
good place for "old people," There
really should be no old people these
days. I know [ see a marked diff
ference in the older people around
me. Age depends entirely on your
attitude toward life, you can be
eighty years young IF your heart
is young.
Leila: 1t will be too warm for
you to wear such heavy dresses in
the store this spring and summer
Can understand why you want
something that will not look mussed
the first day you wear it, Get dark,
but not too dark, blue voiIes, differ
ent patterns, make these simply
and have two sets each of white col
lars and cuffs. You can make two
dresses of this character do good
work during summer. Wash them
the first time in a strong solution
OF salt, apple vinegar and water.
Don: It's rather serious thing
this Trying to be funny and easy
thing to go beyond the mark of good
breeding. Go to the girl and apollo
gize if she is the right sort of girl
and you conduct yourself properly,
she will accept your apology.
Jenny: Certainly it is idiotic to
put that flaming red mixture on
your mouth You certainly cannot
look like human being with your
mouth smeafed up like that. L am
glad to see tendency among the
young girls to Wear their own COM
plexions. There are certain cos
metics that do not look artificial.
those will continue in use, but the
strange, death-like effects are going
out. Use good cold cream to clean
your skin with every night. If your
SKIN is inclined to be dry, do not
put water on it at night, just rub
the cream we'll into your face and
neck, rubbing the dirt out with a
soft cloth. In the morning wash
the face and neck we'll with warm
water, then with cold water, dry
thoroughly and apply some good
cold cream, wipe this off md dust
with powder suited to your com
plexion. An all-over bath not less
than three times a week. Try this
ana cut out too much greasy food.
