Dear Folks: I have appealed to
my little folks. and now 1 am going
to appeal to you to help in the pres
ervation of our wild flowers. You'll!
probably think I'm late in bringing
this up, but what [ want you to do
is through your home, your neigh
borhood your clubs and societies to
make a serious effort this year to
save our wild flowers and shrubs.
If something definite isn't done,
in an alarmingly short time our for
ests will be stripped, and there'u be
no coming back, for root and seed
will be killed.
If these wild flowers could be
kept fresh, if they meant one single
thing except ruthless waste, I'd say
pick them, but you know from eX,
perience and from watching cars
and wagons festooned with these
flowers, that in a very short time
after they are pulled they are faded
and Withered Let's all try to do
our part in saving the wonderful
beauty of our woods.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
r. r. G.: If you want something
that is a bit dressier than cotton
material for your Sunday Best, y
and yet want something that will
stand the washtub, get a wash silk.
You can get these silks in many
lovely patterns. I find that crepe
de chine washes beautifully, and sc
does pongee. Am sending you sam.
pies.
Mother of Twins: Yes, I do like
twin girls dressed alike. We have d
pair of twins in our neighborhood
They are grown girls now and still
wear the same things, work in the
same office and have the same bank
account; yet they never impress
anyone as having no personality, or
! i;
many people feel that twins lose
by this sameness; but / don't agree
Mrs S.: You can make the love
lest shades of unbleached muslin
that is, of course, for a room that
does not require a dark shade. Get
good qaulity of unbleached muslin
a width that will fit your old shade
rollers. About five inches from the
bottom make tuck wide enough
to carry the stick that goes in the
bottom. Turn this tuck down and
| stitch, thus giving strength to the
place that the red or stick has tc
be pushed through. The bottom you
can either leave straight or seal
loped and finish with an inch Or a
two-inch cotton fringe to match.
These shades are starched and put
on your old rollers, and you have
as smart a shade as the best dec
orator could give you. Of course
you will want you cord and ring
to pun by.
j. T.: In the summer it seems to
be the acceptable thing for boys
and men to wear negligee shirts
and go without their coats. if they
wear belts: but never with sus-
penders. However, it will never be
the correct thing for a man or boy
to go to a dinner in such a Garb
without his coat. OF course, in very
hot weather, your hostess may sug-
gest that you leave off your coat. If
she does that is a different matter;
but you want to be very sure that
your shirt is fresh and clean.
Jenny: / don't know when I've
seen a ribbon on a young girls hair,
and ribbon is becoming: but the
barrette seems to have taken its
