Dear Folks: Mosquito time is
serious time, if we will only realize
it we may be able to stem the tide
of the diseases that mosquitoes
breed. If you will take very
small quantity of kerosene oil and
pour it on the top of any stagnant
water around your place it will do
great deal towards killing off
these pests. Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Mrs. T.: You can have the soft
| ribbon flowers made and they
would be exquisite on your daugh-
ter's dress, whether you decide on
georgette or wolfe. Yes, I think you
are wise if she is going to city
after her marriage to have one
lovely dress, suitable for evening
parties, her afternoon dresses of
course can be worn to many infor-
NAL evening affairs, in fact that
seems to be the thing now, but
there is apt to be one occasion
when she will like something a bit
more formal. You can get, [ should
think, very pretty flower, or some
small flowers, say like sweet peas
| in the orchid tints for So to $3.50
and that would be the only orna-
mentation the dress would require.
Will be glad to get this for you if
you will send me sample of dress
and a money order, including say
cents for postage and insurance.
Old Lady: My dear, you make
mistake, there are no old ladies,
some may acquire years, but thank
goodness the term as it used to be
used is quite out Of date. Make
your crepe de chine dress on the
straight line one order, using vest
W.
lar and cuffs.
Mrs. t.: You can get the little
Oliver Twist suit for small boys, say
| 2 to years, quite reasonably, some
extremely nice ones for $1.95 here
this week, and my opinion is that
| they may be bought at that price
at other times, as they are not
marked sale" I will be very glad
to get these for you if you will send
me post office order with postage
included. State colors preferred.
Bobbed Hair: The question you
ask comes to me frequently. How
long will the style of bobbed hair
! last? [ cannot answer that def
nitely, but I honestly believe since
a sensible, decent style of cutting
| the hair has come in to vogue that
the style will last a long while. OF
course L may be wrong, for style is
a tickle lady.
Ignorant: The people with really
good breeding, do not use tooth
picks in public. Nothing so places
a person as to see him or her leave
hotel dining room Or restaurant
with a tooth pick in action l, like
you have seen many who seem to
feel that by picking up a toothplck
on leaving a dining room and twist
ing it between their teeth indicates
familiarity with hotel or restaurant
life. 1t doesn't, just familiarity
with bad manners. You are correct
in your surmlse.
have dear kind husband and it is bless
ing to have good, kind companion. so
many get married and are not satisfied and
separate. / am like most of the cousins, i've
on a farm and love farm life. L spent last
summer and most of the winter in Canton,
Ohio | like the north pretty well, but
don't like city life like l do country life
for do love nature. l don't thlnA any
thing man can do can beautl1y the World
like dear old nature herself. | love to work
in the garden and flowers and watch stuff
grow, it is so beautiful when the suns bright
rays fall the sparkling dew drops that
are nestled in the tender weeds in the morn
ing. | believe the birds must think 1T is
beautiful, too for it is one of their fayorite
times to sing. Their singing adds to your
pleasures, all this combined makes spring
time and summer seem almostl ike an EN-
blem of heaven. If i was to take "A subject
it would be on love, for | don't know of any
| thing greater. If we did not love each other
| we would not care how we treated each
| other What would home be with no love in
| it? The Bible says "God so loved the world
! that He gave His only begotten Son that
| whatsoever believed in Him should not per-
| u.s. but have everlasting life" IL Jesus
| had not loved US He would not have taken
| upon Himself our sinful form and come to
! the earth and suffered and died for us. so
| l think love means great deal. AS L FEAR
| | have written too much already l must get
! ont of the way and give some one chance
! that can do better. Love to all. An old
! cousin. Y (MRS.) FAITH STUMAN.
