Dear Folks: January has been a
month rich with personal letters. /
have enjoyed every one of them, and
am answering just as quickly as pos
sible. I would like to say here to
some Of my young correspondents
that it really is impossible for me
to say whether a marriage for them
is advisable; I do try to give them
certain advice as to conduct, and the
inadvisability Of marrying too young
and of giving up their school days.
No girl has a right to marry until
she has fitted herself to be a real
help mate, No boy has a right to
consider marriage until he has fitted
himself to support a wife.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Elizabeth: Ching Blue and Porce.
lain Blue are really the same colors-
very becoming colors, too. You can
get a good quality Of flat crepe in
this color at $3.50 per yard. This
material will stand soap and water.
OF course you want to be careful of
the soap you use, and be sure that
your dress is evenly washed and
rinsed and not hung in the sun to
dry. 1 like my crepe dresses ironed
when the material is slightly damp.
Anxious Girl: If you will ask your
questions over your own name, add
ing the name you wish to appear in
the paper, I will be only too glad to
NIT me to answer questions unless
the real name as well as the pen
name is given. Many questions go
in the trash basket for this reason.
Blue Eyes, of Georgia: My advice
to you is don't marry any man that
drinks.
Zella Grogan, Cedartown, Ga: If
you will write to the library commits
sion, state capitol, Atlanta, Ca, they
will not only tell you about an Easter
program or one suitable for that oc.
casion, but you can secure books
from this commission at only the cost
of postage both ways. DO write to
them-you will find it worth your
while, not only for this occa sion, but
for many other occasions.
Blue Eyes, of North Carolina:
Your cuticle has grown up around
your nails. 1t is too bad that you
have had to cut 1t, but when you
have been careless with them this
will occur. Sit down with a basin
Of warm water and soap suds, but do
not use kitchen soap for this pur-
pose. Let your hands soak in this
warm suds, adding warm water as it
cools. When your hands have grown
quite soft, gently press back the
flesh around the nails with the round
end of an orange stick. If you
haven't that, use the nail Of the
other hand, and be sure to let this
pressing back form an oval around
your nail. If it is necessary to trim
this cuticle, do it carefully, cutting
as little as possible. When you are
through with this process, rub a good
cold cream into the edge Of the nail
and the finger tips, and wipe off the
surplus cream. If you will keep this
up believe that you will find a
great Improvement in your nails. In
the mornings, after you fix your
nails at night, be sure after washing
your hands in warm water to rinse
them in cold. You close the pores
this way. Use an ivory or wooden
stick for cleaning the nails; scraping
them with metal leaves them rough
underneath and dirt adheres more
readily.
