AUNT JULIA'S LETTER BQX Dear Children: On these windy, cold days, remember the wild birds and fur creatures.

Dear Auntie and Cousins: Have been a 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 pard?” Thought I’d ask for admittance, hoping Mr. W.

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 ly used in conservatories or window gardens will stand “wet feet;” that is cold, wet x soil. Cosmos for a Long Season Cosmos sown in pots or boxes in the house or greenhouse the middle of March and transplanted twice before setting them out in the garden, aft er danger of frost has passed, will make stocky plants that will flower early and for a longer period than plants from seed sown in the open ground.

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 take pretty chorus girls out to sup per, and otherwise disport himself in the gay world were it not for what people would say. But the knowledge that his neighbors keep tab on his hours cause him to punch the time clock punctually at home, and makes of him a respectable citi zen and a good husband and father. It is gossip that is the great mor alist. It is gossip that Is the most effective policeman, and if we ever reach a state of grace where we shall dwell loudly upon the good qualities of our fellow creatures, and put the soft peddle on their faults and short-comings, we shall have talken away the biggest restraint there is against wrong-doing. Vive flourishes like the green bay tree in an atmosphere in whidh no cold Wind of criticism blows upon it. And, after all, why should we be more careful of the reputation of the individual of his own? The 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.

Kiss ing is not a very safe gam© at any time. It has a tendency to cheapen one, unless he means to marry you. 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.

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 MRS.fELTONS TALKS, CONDUCTED BY MrSuW-HFELTON I—__ —-- ■ - 1 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. WAS IT MY" EAULT OR THE PRINTER’S? A Little Correction In a late article concerning the money of the dead Southern Confed eracy it is set down that the last cabinet meeting of President Davis’ administration was held at Asheville, North Carolina. I intended to write, “held at Abbe ville, S. C.,” and I write this cor rection hoping it will reach all of the Semi-Weekly readers -who read my original article. Abbeville Courthouse is not a great distance from the Savannah river, and the retreating cabinet was dis solved and its members separated after the final meeting at Abbeville Courthouse, S.

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*.
