Question Box, The Atlanta Tri-
Weekly Journal, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Folks: Am about catching
up with personal mail received dur
ing my absence, and 1 hope that
you who have waited so patiently
will forgive this delay. / have tried
to get shopping commissions OH
promptly and believe that all SUCH
letters have been answered. This
week sees all the rest answered and
finds me anxious to be of further
service.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Red Roses: My dear girl, [ do
think that there is a risk in forty
and eighteen" marrying, but after
all if you love 2. person we'll enough,
age matters very little, but be sure
that you do love him well enough
to be willing to grow old with him.
for he will be old while you will be
in the prime of life. / think eight
cen is too young to marry anyway.
Can't you wait a couple Of years
and find if this is the "real love
of your life?" If you are engaged
to him and seriously intend marry
ing him, you can certainly give him
a more elaborate present than you
would to an acquaintance. Why not
sterling silver belt buckle, a fine
bill fold, a good pair Of cuff links?
Satin, felt and even velvet hats are
seen on the streets now, but l am
clinging to my summer hat as long
as possible. Winter is so long. A
blue velvet hat with a smart trim
ming would be good, people with
blue eyes always find blue hats most
becoming; you could wear one OF
the new browns.
Mrs. r. p. Weeks, Towns, Ga:
Send me a stamped addressed en-
velope and I'll send you the name
Of a reliable person to do the work
you desire.
X. Y. H.: For dress wear black
satin slippers are good, for all-round
brown
prefer the brown if [ am to have
two pairs of slippers. In the late
fall you can wear your winter coat
in Atlanta In the early fall / wear
the coat / purchased in the spring,
that is heavy enough. Fabric gloves
are worn a great deal, though the
kid glove is always good The flat
envelope arm bag is the latest thing
in pocketbooks; it is quite large.
Mrs. t.: [ think you are wise to
use '1eave overs" for the beginning
of the little folks school year. I
am going TO get information right
away about "school togs," and will
give it in this department. in the
next week or two. Winter clothes
bought so far ahead of real winter
weather get so shabby before time
to change to spring.
Joan: Have a luncheon for your
friend who marries in the early fall.
You can, if you wish, give her a
Shower" at the same time. While
you are at lunch have a big basket
filled with the gifts brought by her
friends, placed in your sitting room,
that is, unless your dining room and
sitting room open into each other;
if the latter is the case have the
basket brought in Immediately after
the lunch. L say big basket, for if it
is to be a Kitchen shower" it takes
big basket to carry the gifts. Get
up q clever, humorous presentation
speech After the gifts are present
ed, drink the health of the bride
and groom in fruit punch. A good
cook book is an excellent gift at
a kitchen shower.
