AUNT JULIA'S
LETTER BQX
Dear Children:
On these windy, cold days, remember the wild birds and fur
creatures. Put out a bit of grain and hang a piece of fat meat, any
scraps you have, not salty, to the trees; keep a pan of unfrozen water
where the birds can get it, and when summer comes you will be repaid
in wondrous songs. Lovingly, AUNT JULTA.
Dear Aunt Julia: Will you let a country
boy in your happy band of boys and girls?
As this is my first time I guess you cousins

I am thirteen years old. As it seems to
be the rule I will describe myself: Light
hair and fair complexion, blue eyes ami
weigh 106 pounds, 5 feet 3 inches tall. I
had better close as my letter is getting

silent reader of the Letter Box for quite a
while, but “Silence is golden, so sayeth the
bard; I beg to differ—don’t you, my old

is in south Alabama—a very fine place to
live, cousins. Just visit me and hee if it
isn’t true. No, “Billy” Getterman, upon

Plants Grow in China
Plants do not do as well in fancy,
glazed china pots as In the common
red clay pots. The latter are porous
and permit the water to evaporate
and the soil to become dry. The
glazed pots hold the moisture in the
soil, keeping It wet and cold, and
the plants are likely soon to droop
and die. Very few plants common

DOROTHY DIX’S TALKS
Gossip
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Highest Paid Woman Writer in the World
Gossip has long been classed
among the seven deadly sins, and
especially as the besetting sin of
woman from which she should, pray
heaven to deliver her.
Now there is gossip and gossip.
There is the pleasant little tittle
tattle about our friends and neigh
bors which is nothing more than a
daily chapter of the human comedy
of life. It is women’s faculty for
collecting, and disseminating this
that made Stephenson say, that the
first qualification of a good wife
was for her to be a good gossip.
Certainly society would be a dul.
of fair if we should all refrain from
our favorite indoor sport of talking
about our neighbors. When we get!
down to brass tacks, we are all far
more Interested in the things that
happen in our block and to the peo- 1
pie we know that we are in momen
tous events that' take place thou
sands of miles from us, and that in
volve people of whom we have
scarcely heard.
Sorry as we were for starving
Belgium, it did not send us scurry
ing for food as did the knowledge
that a child had fainted from hun
ger on our door step. We are more
horrified to hear that our char
woman’s ceiling has fallen on her
head and bruised her baby than we
are to hear that 10,000 people have
been swallowed up in an earthquake
in Japan. The most thrilling re
ports that we got of the great war
were those that told of the regiments
frem our own town, and we visualize
the heroism of battle through little
Jimmie Jones, who used to deliver
our papers, and who was awarded
the croix de guerre.
Os course, scandal mongerine is
another affair. It differs from the
innocuous chatter of new babies, and
new cooks, and new bonnets, and
the little daily happenings in our cir
cle, but while too much cannot be
said agains tthe gossip that turns
rumors into facts in the telling, and
that blackens innocent characters
with vague suspicions, it is still not
to be denied that even this sort o’
gossip is not without its use in the
general economy, and is one of the
sins that' make for virtue’s side.
For, as a matter of fact, there is
no other such effective agency for
mortality on earth as is gossip. It
is the fear of our neighbor’s tongues
tnat keeps many of us in the straight
and narrow path, and holds us up
to cur duty.
Before, “They say,” we are all of
us arrant cowards. It is the knowl
edge that everything we do, and do
not do, is going to be observed, and
t.eely discussed among our acquaint
ance that' braces us up to live the
higher life in order that their com
ments may be favorable instead of
otherwise. For, it is their praise that
makes our fame, and their blame our
disgrace.
Mrs. Smith is naturally lazy and
inddlent. If no prying eye would
see, and no gossiping tongue chat-
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am going to ask you for advice.
I really think you give good advice.
I am a married woman, and my age is
twenty. If I should be out walking
and some neighbor man should come
riding along and should ask me to
ride on to my home or where I had
started, what should I do? If I
should be visiting anywhere and
meet a lady while there and she says
she is glad she met me, what must
I say to her? Do you think if I want
ed to go to town and my husband was
not going and a neighbor man was
going in his car it would be any
harm for me to go with him?
WORRIED.
It depends on the kind of man
your neighbor is and the kind of
reputation he has in the com
munity. ■ If he is a good citizen
and a trustworthy neighbor who
is merely offering you a friendly
lift I see no objection in riding
home with him. If your husband
has no objection to your going
in the neighbor’s car, and if you
do not make a constant practice
of riding with the same neighbor,
I should not think there would
be any criticism; but if you are
seen too frequently in the com
pany of any man other than your
husband it will subject you to
adverse criticism. Just tell the
lady in a friendly, easy sort of
way that you are glad to know
her, too.
I am a lonely girl coming to you
for advice. I am 25 years old and
have never had but very few beaux.
I am jolly enough in company, but
a little bashful. All the girls are
very friendly to me and tell me
about the good times they have
with the young men. I am the only
child and would be glad indeed to
be so that I can go with the boys
and girls and enjoy myself. When
I happen to be at a party the young
men are friendly to me then, but
they never ask to call. Do you
think it would be alright for me to
ask them to call? And do you
think that is why they don’t come
to see me?
I went with a young man two or
three times some time ago and
learned to love him dearly. He seem
ed to love me, although he did not
tell me so. When I told him that
I loved him he stopped going with
me. Do you think I was to blame?
Will thank you for any advice.
NANCY.
Cultivate a pleasing manner
toward everyone, don’t talk
about other girls to a man, and
learn to keep things you hear
to yourself. Dress neatly and
don’t let men think you are
too eager for their society. Have
social gatherings in your home,
and invite the young men you
really like. See if you can’t
make friends that way by be
ing cordial and attractive. Nev
er tell a man you’re in love with
him unless he declares himself
in love with you. Withhold the
impulse then to tell him how
deeply you love him. Show it by
being kind and broad-minded.
Never ask him personal ques
tions. If he loves you he will
tell you everything.
Here comes a girl, aged twenty
six, for advice. I am in love with a
young man, aged thirty. I dearly
love him and I am sure he loves me.
We have known each other twenty
one years, and have gone together
nine years. He is a nice young man.
He kisses me most every day. Is
that right, do you think? We could
live happy together. Would it be
right for me to kiss him good-night?
I love him with all my heart, and
I am sure he loves me the same.
Please advise me what to do, as I
have no one to advise me. Please
answer me through The Journal.
AN UNDECIDED GIRL.
Nine years is too long to keep
company with a man, unless
there are very good ireasons for
not marrying sooner. Unless he
ter about it, she would let her house
be as untidy as a pig’s sty, she
would feed her family out of cans
and paper bags, and let her children
go unwashed and uncombed to school.
But well she knows that there
isn’t a woman in the block who is
not a willing talker who would tell
it if she saw trash under her beds,
and would publish the information
far and wide if her children’s ears
were not properly washed and their
frocks clean, and if she did not give
her family good food.
So Mrs. Smith’s fears of “they
say” is stronger than her slackness,
and makes of her a decent house
keeper and a good mother.
Mrs. Tompkins is of a rdmantic
and sentimental nature. Her very
soul hankers after flirtations with
men, and she secretly considers her
self a siren that no man can re
sist.
If she could do it without any
body finding it out or saying any
thing about it if they did not find
it out, she would indulge herself
in love affairs, regardless of the
fact that she has a good husband
and nice children. But the fear of
gossip is more restraining than all
of the ten commandments on Mrs.
T. for she knows that the tongues
of her neighbors would not leave her
a shred of character to her back did
they once find her joy-riding with a
fascinating stranger, or making a
practice of taking lunch and gadding
about with a man who was far too
interested in her to be either her
husband or a blood relation.
Mr. Brown would like to be a
rounder. He would like to stay out
with the boys until 3 G. M., and

It is gossip that is the great mor

effective policeman, and if we ever
reach a state of grace where we
shall dwell loudly upon the good

there is against wrong-doing. Vive

And, after all, why should we be
more careful of the reputation of

thing that a man or woman is not
ashamed .to do, he is not ashamed
to have discussed.
For we all want to be talked about
as long as people sing our praises.
It is only when we have something
we don’t want told about us that
we desire the gossiper suppressed.

lam a boy of eighteen years. Is
it proper for me to take girls to par
ties at night? How long should a
boy stay when calling? Should a boy
kiss a girl good-night? How old
should a boy be before he gets mar
ried? Is it proper for boys to give
girls presents? If so, what should
he give? Should a boy and girl go
riding on Sunday afternoons? Is
it proper for boys to wink at th£
girls? When a boy and two girls
are walking along the street, which
side should the boy walk on? How
long should a boy and girl be en
gaged before marriage? When a boy
and girl goes to church, which one
should go in first? I thank you very
much for your advice. BLUEBIRD.
I think it is perfectly proper
for you to take girls to parties
in the evening. It depends, of
course, on how well you know a
young girl, but two hours seems
long enough for a call. It looks
nicer and they will think more of
you if you leave at 10 or 10:30.
Kissing a young lady good-night
should not be indulged in. A
man should be at least twenty
four or five to marry. It is prop
er to give girls small presents
on birthdays, and Christmas; oc
casionally a box of candy, if you
like her well enough. No, it is
not nice for boys to wink at
girls. The lady goes into the
church first, the gentleman di
rectly behind her.
Hazlehurst, Ga., March 1, 1920.
Dear Madam: lam a lonely girl
coming to you for advice. I am a girl
of nineteen years, will be twenty in
April. I am five feet four inches
tall, weight 105 pounds, have auburn
hair, brown eyes, real fair complex
ion. Do you think I am pretty? Do
you think I weigh enough for my
age? I have been going with a boy
of twenty-four years of age; he
seems to think lots of me; he never
has told me that he loved me, but
he told a friend of mine. He doesn’t
come very often. Do you think he
loves me. I love him better than
any other boy. I would give my life
for him. I have corresponded with
another boy and he has asked me to
marry him. He says he loves me
better than any girl, but I don’t care
much for him, but I do love this
other boy very dearly. What would
you advise me to do? Please tell me
for I am troubled.
BROWN EYES.
You are under weight. You
should weight at least 120
pounds. Get plenty of sleep, in
the early part of the evening,
especially. Eat lots of vegeta
bles, the starchy kind. I wouldn’t
marry any man unless I loved
him. Marriage is too sacred to
treat it lightly. The burdens of
married life are too great to car
ry unless each loves the other
enough to bear together the
trials which comes into nearly
every couple’s life after the knot
is tied. You are still very young,
and your life has only begun
for you, so I’d wait a while, and
I’m quite sure your heart will
find its true mate and marriage
will be ultimate portion of your
love.

The Armenian Orphans
The middle of February a cable
was received from the land that we
are trying to help, telling us that
more than 2,000 Armenians had been
butchered by the Turks. About the
same time I received a letter from
the Near East headquarters, in New
York, saying that the country around
the orphans had become so unsettled
that the children and the Christian
workers had been compelled to flee
for their safety. This has confused
matters so that we may never know
the name of the child who we are
feeding, for the money must be sent
over there, and the children fed in
the best way possible.
I feel sure that not one of you
would say that you must know the
name of the child we are providing
for. Before the year is half gone we
may have a picture and the name of
a child. .
It is astonishing how the Turks
pretend to be on their knees to the
allies and at the same time plotting
and carrying out plans to extermi
nate their neighbors.
Some ow you may have heard the
story of Shak, but I am going to con
dense it. I know it is a true story
because I have personal friends over
there in this great work. And I want
to assure you that every cent you
send is delivered to the people who
must settle the bills for those orphan
ages. I know a great many who are
connected with this great work, and
if Satan prompts any one to say that
the money is “pinched” once or twice
before it reaches the one you intend
to help, do not believe a word of It.
Shak is now fifteen years old. He
had a comfortable home in Bakur, a
village In northern Armenia. Before
the war got so terrible he and three
of his chums went to a cave to play.
Shak knew of a /secret chamber and
hid in there. The other boys thought
he had gone home, so they went
home, too. He heard voices and knew
that it could not be his friends, so
he listened and found out that a set
of Turkish spies had been finding
out conditions so as to report to
their army the best way to wipe out
the village. As soon as they left
to report to their captain he fairly
flew home. For weeks there had been
rumors of Turkish soldiers burning
villages and the good old pastor told
them that the first one to really find
out the danger to Bakur must ring
the church bell.
Shak fairly flew to the church.
Pound, pound, pound, the old bell
called out to the people. The dread
ed message was given them. There
was the wildest excitement, of
course, but the good old pastor quiet
ed them, and urged them to be true
to Christ, even if it meant a martyr’s
death. He said, “Let not one of us
deny His Lord and turn to Mahomet
in the days of trial before us.”
Then he prayed, “O, Christ, Thou
who hast suffered for us, teach us
how to suffer for Thee. If we must
die, help us to die with honor, for
Thy sake. Amen.”
Then the faithful /old pastor led
his people from their native village.
Each family taking what they could
pile on their wagons, or the backs
of their donkeys, or on their own
backs.
When the Turks reached Bakur
the inhabitants were gone. This
made the army furious, for they
had planned to capture the girls for

A BOY AND HIS MOTHER
One of the very best recommenda
tions that a boy can have is for his
indorsers to say, “He is a good boy
to his mother.” In a long life of ob
servation and experience, I do not
th nk I ever saw a boy gc very far
wrong who was in love with his
mothe.’.
I mean more <han common dutiful
affection. I mean the sort of love
whivh makes a bey gallant and
courteous to his mother, show n? to
all the folks that i.e admires apd re
spects his mother.
Next to her husband’s love, noth
ing can so crown a woman’s I’fs with
honor as this second love —this gea
uine devotion of a son to his mother.
Any sort of a man can fall in
love with a fresh-faced girl, but the
man who plays his worn and* weary
wife, and can take satisfaction by
avoiding his mother in public, because
he is not that much of a gentleman,
and reflects his own sorriness by so
doing.
But the boy that loves his mother
in middleage, and who honors her
in the presence of any sort of com
pany, is a true knight, and he will
love his wife and his own sons and
daughters will be proud of him and
be thankful they have such a father.
Os all the disappointments that can
come to a woman who has gone down
into the valley of the shadow of
death to give her son his immortal
being, nothing is more so than a
neglectful and indifferent son, who
can be more courteous and pay more
attention to everybody else in sight
than his own heart-sore mother.
As before said, it is the hall-mark
of a genuine gentleman to pay duti
ful respect and to show affection to
his mother. She may have outlived
attractiveness and beauty, but she de
serves at his hands the courtesy and
care that no other living being has
the same tight to demand so long
as she lives.

their own uses and to murder the
others. They got on the wrong trail
and the villagers escaped them. They
plundered and burned everything in
sight, so this brave boy saved hun
dreds of lives. He saw his faithful
pastor lead the people on and on,
traveling at night, and seeking aid
from friendly villages. But finally
one morning they were surrounded
by a howling mob shouting “Death
to the Christians. Cut to the
cradle.” Families were separated,
and for their own amusement (?)
men were stabbed to death and boys
hacked to pieces. Several small chil
dren huddled against a wall and the
soldiers rode their horses over them
till they were trampled ,to death.
Shak saw his pastor hurt and hu
militated in many ways. At last,
after pulling his hair out with pin
cers, he was hung head downward
and riddled with bullets. He saw his
father and fifty other men led away
and that was the last; he never saw
him again. He saw his mother seiz
ed by a brute and Shak struck him
with a club. That infuriated the
soldier and the boy was left for
dead In the road. When he came to
consciousness he was alone in the
mountains. He wandered a day and
night before he found food, only a
hard black crust. On the third day
he faited, fell in a ditch. He was
kicked to life again and sold to the
Turks. He often cried himself to
sleep from pain of the bruises made
by his cruel master.
Through it all he remained a
Christian. He was resold’and then
the British soldiers found him, he
was then placed in an orphanage, in
the buildings of the American mis
sion. When he asked why there was
no bell he was told that when the
Turks made the awful massacre at
Ursa they had confiscated the mis
sion property. One day he was work
ing in the market and heard a bell
in the Turkish school.) He asked
about it and the man thought he was
a Turkish boy and confided in him
that the bell was once used in the
American Mission school. At noon
time Shak told his new bell
story to Lieutenant Weiden, the one
man on the staff of American relief
workers at the orphanage.
Lieutenant Weeden is a fine fel
low, standing six-feet two. He didn’t
do or say a thing, but put on his belt
and with his trusted gun went to
the Turkish schoolmaster and de
manded the bell. The Turk said
“No.” Weeden stepped before him and
looked him square in the eyes and
said, “You will return that beU In
thirty minutes or have trouble.”
The lieutenant had other business
and went about 1 it, an hour later
when he returned to the mission the
other workers met him shouting, “O.
lieutenant, the Turks have returned
our bell and Shak, the bell-ringer of
Bakur is happy in the promise that
every day he can ring it."
Out of seven hundred orphans at!
that place Shak has been selected for
many important trusts. There are
hundreds of thrilling stories I’d like
to tell you. Next week we will have
the honor roll again. Two dollars is
lacking to make the sixty. I do hope
I may receive it early in March. Then
surely we will have somo for at'
least summer garment*.
