DOROTHY DIX’S TALK ON Common-Sense Cures BY DOROTHY DIX The World's Highest Paid Woman Writer ANY doctor will tell you that one of the strangest peculiarities of human nature is that he can never induce his patients to try a common-sense remedy for the ills that afflict them. People will take nauseous drugs without even making a face at them. They will undergo dangerous and ex pensive operations. They will leave their comfortable homes and their families, and go off to stay in ho tels and miserable boarding houses among strangers in distant places, but when a physician tries to get them to live on plain and simple foodC and take plenty of exercise, and stay out in the open air, they simply refuse to follow the prescrip tion. Yet ninety-times out of a hundred the common-sense remedy would work a more effectual cure than the drugs, or the operations, or the sanitarium. This contempt for the common sense cure is peculiarly characterist ic of women, who have a constitu tional dislike to ever looking a fact in the face, and finding a practical remedy for anything that is wrong with them, bodily or spiritually. They revel in mystery, and require to be relieved of their troubles by some strange and occult means, or to pass through some danger about which they can throw a veil of ro mance. Hence the difficulty of ever help ing a woman, because there is noth ing mysterious the mattbr with most women’s lives that requires a miracle worker to heal it. They have just little common-place problems that need little home-made remedies that you simply can’t force down the la dies’ throats. Take some of the complaints from which women -eternally suffer, and about which they put up a never ceasing moan. There is the woman who has worn herself to skin and bones over her housework. She is haggard, and thin, and nervous, and she tells you in one breath that her work is kill ing her, and in the next breath of the elaborate dishes she cooks, and how her house is run on a schedule that never varies, and that she serves every meal as elaborately as if she kept a retinue of servants instead of being her own maid of all work. And there are the clubwomen who are nervous wrecks, hysterical and emotional, with razor-edged tempers and sharp tongues, who live with their hats on and rush madly from club meeting to club meeting, and committee room to committee room until they pull-up in a padded cell or coffin./ The remedy for these women’s ill health and nerves is simply to slow down to second speed. Bu| they won’t do it. There’s no use telling the SICK WOMEN HEAR ME You Can Be Free from Pain is 1 Am, if You Do as I Did. Harrington, Me. —“I suffered with backache, pains through my hips and a such a bearing down feeling that I could not stand on my feet. I also had other dis • tressing symp toms. At times I had to give up work. 1 tried a number of reme dies, but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound did me more good than anything else. I am regular, do not suffer the pains I used to, keep house and do all my work. I recom mend your medicine to all who suffer as I did and vou may use my letter as you like.”—Mrs. Minnie Mitchell, Harrington, Me. There are many women who suffer as Mrs. Mitchell did and who are being benefited by this great medicine every day. It has helped thousands of wo men who have been troubled with dis placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, periodic pains, back ache, that bearing-down feeling, indi gestion and nervous prostration.

Bond Shoe Maker*, Dept 371 Cincinnati, O, over-wrought housekeeper to cut out the frills and get down to the sim ple life. She would rather die than omit one doily or fail to sweep, and bake,’ and scrub on their appointed days. Nor is there any use in re minding the club woman that charity begins at home and takes in oneself, and that the one person on earth whose ways and habits need the most reforming are her own. There’s the young woman who is eaten up with envy of the things that other people have. She sits with folded hands and lets herself get bitter and morbid dwelling upon what a cruel blow fate dealt her, when she was not born with enough money to get her the pretty clothes that rich girls have. The remedy for her trouble is as plain as the nose on her face. All that she has to do is to go to work and put in as much concentrated energy and thought in making money as she has in wishing for it to come to her on wings. Poverty is the most easily cured disease in the world and the one for which there is the most unfailing specific. It is work. But far too many women would rather be sick with yearning for luxuries than to take the rem edy that cures it. Sometimes a woman wakes up in the morning with the blues, and gets out of bed on the wrong foot. For no reason at all she starts a quar rel with her husband at breakfast, and spanks the baby, and shakes the children, and makes things generally unpleasant for everybody in the household. Generally she is in for a two or three-day orgy of melancholy, yet there is a perfectly reliable remedy for it that would relieve her in a couple of hours. All she needs to do is to put on her hat, and go out and do something that amuses her, and that will give her spirits a jolt back to normal. Sometimes buying a pretty* hat, or going to the matinee, or just to a restaurant and having luncheon will do it. But she scorns the plain common-sense remedy and goes on being morbid, and wretched, and making everybody else so. Every now and then a woman gets to the place where she loathes the domestic life, and consider matri mony a failure, and wonders what made' her pick out the miserable specimen of humanity she did for her husband, and when even her children figure in her thoughts as tiresome brats instead of blessed angels, and she dallies with the thought of becoming a home deserter, or a suicide. The remedy for this is a little visit, or a trip somewhere. Family life has gotten on her nerves and all she needs is a change. Three days’ absence would turn her home info a palace, her husband into a ro mantic hero, her children into cherub ins, and hang the sun in her sky once more. But has she sense enough to buy a railroad ticket as a sure cure? Never. She stays at home and grouches and grumbles and complains and takes out her own misery in making her family more miserable The queer part of it all is, that women are perfectly aware that these common-sense remedies would cure them but they won’t take them. The only thing they will swallow whole is some remedy that is expensive, or weird and mysterious. (Copyright. 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

Hope it was a lovely day with all of you. It was quite warm all day here, but Monday morning showed the thermometer at 37 degrees, and my thoughts went to you children who live on farms, and 1 most earnestly hope that the fruit on your land will escape injury. Guess we will all be late in planting our gardens, be they large or small; we’ll just have to work all the harder to make them successful, for on the food crops depends our real prosperity. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes a little girl from Jasper, Ala. I have just moved to this state and like it very well, but 1 like J’aoli, Ga., best, and some time I hope to visit my dear little schoolmates buck in Georgia and play with them, again. I am going to school and I am in the third grade. My teacher’s name is Mr. Estes. I like him fine. I have two sisters and two brothers. I have a lot of cousins back in Georgia. I have a grandmother in Ala bama and one in Georgia, and I love them both. How many of you cousins like music? I do, for one. Well, I ain nine years old, and the next time I write I’ll tell you more about Alabama. I will close by asking my little Georgia friends to write me, if they see this in print. With best wishes to Aunt Julia and cousins, ZELMA LEE MITCHELL. Jasper, Ga., Route 4, Box 73. Deai- Aunt Julia: I enjoy the letters Very much from the different states. I live in the central part of Louisiana, in Grant Parish. Our parish lies between the Red and Little rivers. We have many kinds of hardwood timber—the beautiful mag nolias grow wild along the creeks and branches; they grow very large, and the large white flowers are very fragrant. The pine timber has all been used. We live near the banks of Hudson creek; our house is located on a high bluff. Along this bluff grow many lovely wild flowers, viz.: Violets, yellow jessamine, honeysuckle, dog wood. wood vine and a variety of ferns. There are a number of wild fruits and berries that grow here also, viz.: Black berries, dewberries, huckleberries. mul berries, muscadines, grapes, cherries and persimmons. We are one and a half miles from the Jefferson highway route, which is now under construction. Owing to the con tinued rains the work progresses slowly. Does anyone know the whereabouts of J. Loyd Honeycutt, of Clinton, S. C., R. F. D. No. 6? I would like to hear from him. Verdie Honeycutt, of North Carolina, did you get my last letter? I live on a farm— we own 316 acres of land. My age is 20 years. Shall be glad to hear from a few of the cousins. I inclose five cents for the French baby. Best wishes to all. MISS LELA HONEYCTT. Dry Prong, La., Rt. No. 1, Box No. 55-A. Dear Aunt Julia: Will you admit two of Uncle Sam’s girls into your happy band? This is our first letter to you, and we hope this will be put in print. I, Irene, am gi/ 2 feet tall, weigh 147 pounds, am nineteen, light brown hair, blue eyes, fair complexion. I, Blanche, am 5 feet 6 inches, weigh 120 jwunds, light hair, blue eyes, fair complex iin. We are not sisters, but good friends. Let the letters fly to us, cousins. IRENE BAGWELL. ' BLANCHE STEADMAN. Moore, S. C. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you ■dease let two Georgia kids into your happy band, of boys and girls? We are in school today. I wohder what you cousins do for pastime. We crochet and read good books. We would like to exchange books with some of you cousins. Well, as it is a rule for the cousins to describe themselves, we will do so. Now, cousins, don’t get scared, for we will promise not to stay long, so here goes: I, Fannie Mae, have dark blue eyes, brown hair, fair complexion, am five feet, weigh 115 pounds, and my age is between sixteen and nineteen. I, Bessie, have light blue eyes, light brown hair, fair complevion, am five feet, weigh 118 pounds. I will leave my age for you cousins to guess; it is be tween sixteen and twenty. Aunt Julia, we think your plan is great, for we think every child should hate a common education. Well, as we have stayed top long already, we will bld you all adieu. Aunt Julia, please print this if it is worthy. We are Your new cousins, FANNIE MAE BLALOCK. BESSIE PHILLIPS'. Cave Spring, Ga., Route 1. P. s.—We would like to hear from some of you cousins. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please al low a happy Mississippi girl a small space on your letter page. I have so often thought of writing for I do enjoy the letters so much. I am a new cousin, so I ask Aunt Ju lia to please print my letter. I live on a farm and, of course, I have learned to love everything around the farm. I am very fond of reading and writing, spend much of my time that way. There is nothing pleases me more than a good interesting book in a quiet place alone, then I put my thought entirely upon the book and try to obtain the mean ing of every word as I read. I hope you cousins are as happy as I, and that each of you try to be cheerful at all times. The height of my ambition is to help some one in some way. Are you wondering how old I am, and how I look? I shall not tell you this time, but if I see this in print I’ll write again. You all write to me. Much love to you all. JANIE LEE BYNUM. Ridgewood Farm, Deeatur, Miss. Good morning, Aunt Julia, Hello cousins’. Here comes this old Alabama, cousin, knock ing for admittance again this cold morning. What are you cousins doing this lonesome Sunday? Why don’t more of you Alabama boys and girls write? The other states will get ahead of us, so come on, you Alabama boys and girls. I will not describe myself as I’m an old member, but listen, I am not ap old maid (only sixteen). Cousins, Aunt Julia must be a wonderful and thoughtful good woman to think of adopt ing the French baby, and she can think of so many good things, I mean ways in which we can help those in need, which our nickels and dimes, which otherwise might be spent for chewing gum or candy. I am in favor of helping educate some poor American child next work we take up. Luther Huff, your letters are fine, ceme often. What has become of Nellie Burchfield, Willie Care lock and others who I was corresponding with? I will close asking some of the cous ins to write me (boys and girls), I’ll bid yon all adieu. BERTHA KIMSEY. Dawson, Ala., Route 1. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May I come IOUR HOUSEHOLD! CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE QTHOMAS OLD WINTER DINGERS “I wonder if this spring is going to be a repetition of last year’s, only more so,” is the favorite remark these days. And I am doing some wondering too, for truly the rains come, the floods descend and water almost covers this portion of the earth. Gardens are not even plowed in some places. Most of the people, not just in this valley, but from let ters I get, have not yet planted even their onions. I have been counting the days until we could at least put our seed in the ground. Some with a place as big as a hot bed should have their radishes and lettuce up, but the ground is too wet and cold for transplanting things. Today, to cap the climax snow is falling. I’ve gathered my small chickens and have put them where they will not chill; a mother hen and the young est occupy a box on the back piazza and I’ve seen that a hen that I ex pect to hatch tomorrow, Is shelter ed from the wind, her nest is under shelter and faces the south, but snow is no respecter of southern expos ures. I set hens last week and gave them fifteen eggs each, in cold weather I only put in ten, but this morning I am sorry and I may go out there and take a few from each hen and set another on them. But if we can’t have a garden we can enjoy the bulbs that are blooming. I want you to get at least one or two “narcissus poeticus,” it is a beautiful member of the narcissus family. White petals and a red cup, the odor is more like hyacinths and it blooms just after the hyacinths. I wish I had a num ber of them, but I only planted a few and they have not multiplied enough for me to dig them up. My paper white are much later. I wonder how many of you are planting white carnations? That is the flower for “Mother Day,” and the florists never have had an abund ance. I know a little church whose aid society sells rooted geraniums, carnations and ferns and makes a nice sum each spring. The woman who wants pin money could not find a nicer way to make it, and we all know a great many who send off for flowers. It’s nicer to buy at home. Thera are many who are afflicted with false pride, they will not sell flowers, but I think it is really an accommodation for a neighbor to sell to one and save the trouble of or dering. The war taught us many lessons, sometimes we learned with tear dim med eyes, but let us not forget that we are helping the world when we help to save. Europe is at the point of starvation even yet, and if we can raise food or feed, can buy from a neighbor instead of sending off for anything we are still helping. in, the wastebasket got the me once, so I am rather timid this time. It is snowing here today. You cousins come and see me and we will play in it. I go to school and like it fine. I am in the sixth grade. I think every one should try to get some edu cation. I will describe myself, black hair, brown eyes, fair complexion and freckled, 5 feet 7 inches tall. I will be fifteen the 29th of January. Well. I better leave or the wastebasket will get me again. Come again. Sailor and Sollder Boys. Your Vir ginia cousin. LULA GRANSCOME. P. s.—Aunt Julia, don’t let tthe waste basket get this. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you admit a Georgia school girl into your happy circle of boys and girls this dreadfully rainy afternoon? Say, how many of you cousins like music? I do and have been taking a year and a half. I have also read good books and crochet and have been in the Girls’ Canning club for two years, and have learned a great deal about canning, pre serving, cooking and sewing. Why not some of you girls try, you will have the time of your life. I've won a scholarship and several other prizes, I went to Athens, Ga., and had a delightful time while there. I have enjoyed reading many good copies of the letter box and hope to enjoy many more. I must close for this time for I am already trembling with fear that Mr. Waste basket shall get this. I will go. Your niece, a Georgia girl. EVELYN HARRIS. Cordele, Ga., Route D. P. S.—Would be glad to hear from any of you cousins who would correspond with a farmer’s daughter. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you all admit a south Georgia girl into your happy band of boys and girls ? I have been a silent reader of the Letter Box for a long time. What do you cousins do for pastime? I play the piano and crochet and tat and go to school, and am in the seventh grade. Well, I will describe myself, so here I go: Blue eyes, dark brown hair, fair complexion, 5 feet 3 inches tall, fourteen years old. From A new cousin, OZELLA TYLER. Buena Vista, Ga., Route 3. Dear Aunt Julia: Will you admit another Georgia boy into your happy band of boys and girls? I have knocked once before, but was not admitted. As it seems to be the rule, I will describe myself if none of you won’t get scared, so here goes: Black hair, black eyes, medium complexion, weigh 115, age fifteen years, 5 feet 5 inches high. I will stop, as I hear Mr. W. B. coming. All you cousins write to me. I will answer all mall received. Your nephew and cousin, J. B. SOUTHERLAND. Eastman, Ga., Route 5, Box 17. Dear Aunt Julia: Here comes two twin sisters from the dear old state of Alabama knocking for admittance. We go to school at N. M. college. Both are in the seventh grade. Our ages are between twelve and seven. To the one who guesses our age and writes to us we will send them our photos. We will come again and describe ourselves next time. From two new cousins, ILA AND EULA BREWTON, Herbert, Ala. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I was so lonesome this morning I thought I would write to you. My father has taken this paper several years, and I don’t know what we would do without it. I suppose you all are wondering how I look. So I will give you a description of myself. Five feet tall, black hair, and it is twenty-six inches long, gray eyes, medium complexion. You cous ins sto plaughing. You al lare tickling me and also making me bashful. If you don’t soon stop laughing and making me laugh, too, Aunt Julia is going to shut the door in my face. You cousins write to me and see if you don’t get an answer. I will close. Your niece and cousin, RUBY POWELL. Abbeville, S. C., Route No. 5. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you admit a Georgia girl into your happy band of boys and girlsZ I certainly do enjoy reading your letter box. I think it is the most interesting thing found in The Journal. I am now in Emory school and like just fine, and am also taking music, and can play the piano some. In fact, there is nothing I enjoy more than my school work. As to my personal ap pearance I am about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weigh 139 pounds, have dark hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. My age is be tween thirteen and sixteen. Roy Landrum, I will answer your ques tion. The letter M occurs twice in a moment and not once in a thousand years. If any of you girls and especially good looking boys want to write to me your let ters will be highly appreciated and also answered. GRACE MAYOT SAMPLES. Abba, Ga. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I guess you will all be surprised to see me com ing. I have wanted to write for a long time and have just picked up courage enough to do so. What are you all doing? In school, I guess. I am, and I like it very well so far. I go to school at Emory, near Rebecca, Ga.( If you won’t laugh so much. Emory Jones, I will describe myself. I am 5 feet 3 inches tall, weight 125 pounds, light hair, blue eyes, fair complex ion. I will leave my age for you to guess. It is between twelve and fifteen. Who has my birthday, September 23?

And, if we buy from one neighbor whose faculty is raising nice flowers or good, bread, or delicious pies, we are doing ourselves a favor if it saves time for us to see about the work that engrosses us. Teach the children the difference between thrift and stinginess. Thrift teachers us to save for a rainy day, or to be able to help an other. Stinginess makes one save because it is actually painful to let the money get into another’s pos session. All -of us know people who pay their debts only when there is no chance to put off the payment, the money is not lacking, but stingi ness makes parting with it painful. ><'■ ' \\\\\\^7^7L/-7///7//77 x. x. v • i'• P~j |2fe^eg^gJ^2Ba2g < li The absolutely satisfying fragrance of Tube Rose Sweet U 7\ SM g Scotch Snuff makes you forget all your troubles. <~x Tv < 1 H It suits the taste.

X BF g * MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME I have received many requests from girls for the recitation, “Curfew Must Not Ring To night,” and it is impossible for me to send each individual a copy so I will publish it in one of the issues of the Tri-Weekly later, and it can be cut out, and put in your scrap books. MARY MEREDITH. Dear Madam: I am coming to you for advice. I have almost finished a busines course in college. I am twenty years old. Do you think a boy of my ago is old enough to get married? or do you think I ought to wait until I procure a good position, that would enable me to provide for us. I have no way of making any money while taking my course. What should I say when a girl says she loves me? What kind of vo cation would be best for me? Do you think I write a, very good hand and will find a demand for it. Thanks, your nephew, J. C. M. J. C. M. —No I realy don’t think you should get married just now. If you were financial ly able it would be differnt even then you are too young to take the responsibility of a wife. The thing to do is to keep on with your business course. I am sure you will be very successful. You write a beautiful hand. I am a girl of 18 and I want your advice. I am going with a boy I dearly love. He asked me to marry him. But I have decided to wait un til lam older. Would it be all right to ask the boy you intend to marry how old he is, if he does not tell you? Is it all right to go with a boy if he is a nice boy and my parents object to my going with him? Hope to see this in The Journal, as I wrote once, before and I did not see it in print. Thanking you for any advice. BLUE EYES. It seems odd he hasn’t told you how old he is. If you really want to know, bring up the ques tion of ages some time and inci dentally tell him he looks younger than you suppose he is. Flatter him a wee bit if you know how. Most girls know how, long before they know anything else. I suppose they inherit that little failing from “Mother Eve.” If the boy is a gentleman and has no bad habits I can’t see why your parents Object to him. Often-times girls think they are badly abused and resent any good advice given by their elders, but it often turns out that parents are right. Find out all you can about him and if you are sure he is the right sort then try to get your parents to like him. We are two lonely brothers and are going with the same girl and I am the elder and am coming to you for advice. I am twenty-one and my brother is seventeen. She seems to like him better than she does me. I love her dearly. Tell me how I can win her from my brother. Please give me some advice. Yours loving ly. | S. J. T. If the young girl loves your brother, and he loves her, would it be fair to try to win her away from him? That wouldn’t be honorable. But if she is as in terested in you as she is in him then try to win her love. Don’t let her see how much you care. Act indifferently toward her, pre tend to be liking some other girl. Women are peculiar. They would try to win a man just for the fun of getting him away from the. other girl. So play that game if you want to arouse her cu- Dear Madam:— l am coming to you for advice. I am a lonely girl of 23 years. I have been going with a boy of 38 years. We have . been going together off and on for about three years. About a year ago he asked me to marry him and I told him I would, so he got to coming to see me every Sunday after then for eight months and then he quit com ing. He did not say anything about quitting. The last time he was with me he told me he would be back to see me the next Sunday, but he did not come and has not come since. Why do you suppose he quit coming? I love him dearly and he said he loved me better than any other girl and I believe he did love me. Do you think he saw me too often? It all broke my heart when he quit, for I don’t know any reason. Do you think he still loves me and is just staying away and means to come back? Would you let him come back? I don’t think I will ever be satisfied without him. Is it any harm to let a boy kiss you after you are en gaged. My parents are not good to me. They will not hardly let me go anywhere. They say I have no bus iness running around, that home was the place for me. I don’t see any pleasure in staying at home all the time, while other girls go and have a good time. Do -you think they are treating me right? I have black hair, black eyes, medium complex ion and am 5 feet 6 inches tall, weigh about 145 pounds. 'So hope to see this in print and all my ques tions answered. Thanking you for your advice. SLIM. It is not right for par ents to keep a young daugh ter tied down at home too close ly. It makes them dissatisfied and they get to brooding over conditions, then the first thing parents know their little daugh ter has broken the traces and done something exceedingly foolish. So the wisest course to take, they should make home life livable for the daughter. A girl’s home life should be the happiest. Parents can’t expect their chil dren to want to stay from the pleasures that belong to youth. It is the most natural impulse ' in the world for every girl and boy to want to have good times. I am not a fortune teller, and don’t pretend to tell the girls and boys what to do, except to give each one the best advice of which I am capable. But I do say this. Girls, if you want to marry, don’t let the young men who come to see you take too many liberties with you. Be sure you love, then let them see • how noble and lofty your mind is. This doesn’t mean you can’t be jolly and full of fun. At the same time always be a lady and you will never have any regrets. Dear Miss Meredith: Will write you again. Have writ ten to you twice and haven’t heard SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1020. from you yet. lam so worried I decided I would write again and See if you won’t write to me. I am a lonely girl at home, and want your advice. Will you please tell me something to make new hair grow on my face? I used a few depilatory powders. Just tried them on one side of my face, —just a small place—and it has taken all the hair off. I don’t like them one bit. Am sorry I used them at all. Now. do you think hair will grow back all right? Is there some kind of cream or massake that I can use to make hair grow back? If so please write and tell me, as I am so bothered about it. I will pay you for your trouble. Is there something I oan rub into the skin to make hair grow back natural and not be stiff? Write to me at once, as I am anxious to hear from you. Respectfully, MISS JOHNNIE M. K. I am sorry I was unable to an swer your first letter, but I have so many to reply to and it takes quite a long time to get around to all. I can’t consci entiously recommend anything to make your face the same as it was, except the use of olive oil. Get the pure oil and massage the face each night before retiring. Evidently you have been experi menting with a lot of drugs you knew nothing about. Try the oil for a while, and if it doesn’t help you write to me again and I will see if I can’t get a pre scription which will help yoru. I am coming to you for advice. I am eighteen years old and married when I was fifteen years old.. I married a widower with two children, boy and girl, and they don’t seem to care for me. The children won’t mind me and sauce me and the boy calls me all kind of names and the girl won’t listen to me and goes with girls no one else will go with. They are thirteen and eleven. I have one baby boy, sixteen months old. My husband don’t seem to care for me; he knows how they treat me. He says he doesn’t care what they do. He tells his folks to do me any way. When I treat them nicely. His brother and sister have whipped me since we married and he don’t want my folks around him. We mar ried in 1915 and he hasn’t let me go home but once, and my father paid my way there and back. I won’t tell father about it. May every young girl read this. Print this in The Journal. Do you think he loves me? BLUE EYES. Your case is very pa thetic and is proof that early marriages so often result in disaster. Evidently the man you are tied to hasn’t any manhood to see you treated like that. I can’t tell you to leave him on account of your little baby. But if you could go to your father’s home with your child, that would be the best to do. You needn’t get a divorce, but stay at your i father’s home until your husband realizes he will have to respect you. In the meantime try to as sume some dignity and don’t let them impose upon you. If the children’s father is' so “no ac count” that he doesn’t care what becomes of them then let him re sume the responsibility of them and you let them alone. Poor little child, I am very sorry for you. And if I were you I would tell my father all; I think you need his protection. A young man always takes a girl’s hand before asking for it. Golden silence is often more to the point than a silver-tongued oration. FUN FDR WOMEN TOJYECLOTHES “Diamond Dyes’Mum Fad ed, 04d Apparel into New Don’t worry about perfect results.
