AUNT JULIA'S!
LETTER BOXj
Dear Children; As usual after a long letter I will only greet
you and send you my love; that is the best way I can make up for
my “preaching.” Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
Will you please admit a new cousin
from Georgia into your happy band of boys
and girls. I will promise not to stay
long.
Say cousins, what have you all been do
ing this pretty weather? I have been plant
ing some flowers and helping mamma. I
would like to exchange some crochet or
tatting samples with some of you. As this
is my first letter will tell you how I
look. I have brown eyes and hair and
medium complexion. If this is printed I
will come again. So let your letters and
cards fly to
MARY MOATS,
Rockmart, Ga., Box 83.
P. S.—My age is "sweet sixteen.”
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes
another Georgia boy to join your happy
band of girls and boys. I. like most of
the boys and girls, live on the farm.
I will close with best wishes to Aunt
Julia and Cousins. I will answer all mail
received. Your cousin,
CELL CAYLOR,
Cisco, Ga,, Route 1.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here
comes an Alabama girl for a chat with
you cousins. How are you all enjoying this
warm, rainy weather? I am sixteen years
of age. I am going to school and am in
the tenth grade. I live in the country
and like it very well. Say, you all ought
to corn© to see me. We have got us a
new phonograph so I would make some
music for you. I can play on the organ
too. Come to see me sometimes and we
will take a car ride. I certainly do enjoy
car riding. I will quit for this time as I
am afraid Mr. W. B. will get it. If any
one wqnts to write to an Alabama girl
let your letters fly to,
ELSIE LANEY,
Wadley, Ala., Route 3.
Dear Aunt Julia: Here I come again,
but will promise not to stay lofig, as I
have a few words to say to the cousins
who were so kind to me by writing letters
and cards when my letter appeared in The
Journal. I know I said I would answer
all received, in fact, did not think so many
were going to write. I received about fifty
letters and cards. And wish to say it is
just impossible to answer all of them, for
I have been sick about three weeks with
the “flu.” I’m just beginning to get well.
So you cousins that did not get an answer,
don’t get cross and say I told a yarn when
I said I would answer. How many of you
have had the “flu?” Nearly everybody had
it around here. Well, I will tell you my
age for I know you all are wondering how
old I am, will be fourteen years old next
September 7. Will clase with best wishes
to all. Your friend,
MAUDE HOWELL.
Deaf Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please let me in a few minutes? I won’t
stay but a short while, and give someone
else more room for writing. I wanted to
ask you cousins how your flowers are this
season. Mott of them are beautiful I sup
pose. Mine will soon be in blossom. Gee!
cousins, I wish I could send you all a
boquet. What are you all doing for pas
time now? I write a little and go car
riding occasionally. Wonder how many of
you remember me? I won’t give any de
scription, will just tell my age, seventeen,
and go. See, I promised not to stay long.
Glad to hear from you cousins any time.
With best wishes to you all. From a
cousin, '

Waycross, Ga., Route 3, Box 10-A.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: How are
you all getting along these fine spring
clays? I guess all you farmer boys are
getting about your farming now. This is
my first attempt to write to the letter
box and I hope I will be admitted and
get this in print.
Say Auntie, I am well in favor of
adopting a little American boy or girl
now, as we have cared for a little French
girl a year and more. Well, I guess you
all are wondering what I look like. I
am just a boy, five feet, nine inches tall,
dark hair, medium . complexion, gray eyes,
and weigh 134 pounds, and am seventeen
years old.
It does not seem that as many boys
write to the letter box as girls. Say, boys,
come on and lets write, too. The girls
would have a better time if more boys
would write.
Well, Auntie, I will send my bit when
you decide about another orphan; with
lots of love to you and all the cousins,
I am ‘ your new cousin,
CLAUDE MURPHY,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I will try
once more to get into your happy band. I

Dear Aunt Julia:—Will you admit a north
Georgia girl into your happy band of boys
and girls? This is my second letter to the
Letter Box. Thank you, auntie, for print
ing mv other letter. My father takes The
Journal and I enjoy reading the Letter Box
and “Mutt and Jeff.” Earl Caylor, the

it? I will not describe myself, this time,
as I did the other time I wrote. I will
tell mv age. I will be 14 years of age
September 26. Who has my birthday?
Aunt Julia got my name printed wrong;
it is Lestie instead of Lester. I will close
with a riddle—Old Miss Twitchet had* but
one eye, and a long tail, which she let
flv. Every time she went through a gap
she left a bit of her tail in a trap. Your
neice and cousin,
LESTIE HARPER.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here

I had not seen any letters from this state,
so I thought I would write. What have
you cousins been doings? Spring is almost
here. Guess you girls are all busy planting
flowers and hiding Easter eggs, aren’t you?
I live on a farm and like farm life fine.
Papa takes The Journal and I like to read
the cousins’ letters fine. For pastime I
read and play with dolls. Who has my
birthday, March 27? Will be thirteen years
old my next birthday. Earl Caylor, the
answer to your riddle: What is it that is
white and black and red (read) all over?
Is a news paper. Answer this riddle:
Round ns a biscuit, busy as a bee. prettiest

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
HISTORY REPEATS ITSEIsF
Our modern newspapers have gen
erally adopted the plan of having a
full page set apart for advice and
sympathy with lovers and discon
tented married people. Forty or
fifty years ago there was nothing of
the sort elaborated in the daily or
weekly prints.
But in my reading of Charles Dick
ens I find he at one time became
much enthused on the subject of
young couples. He wrote out twelve
elaborate articles, which were headed
as follows:
“The Young Couple,” “The Formal
Couple,” “The Loving Couple,” “The
Contradictory Couple,” “The Couple
Who Dote Upon Their Children,”
“The Cool Couple,” “The Plausible
Couple,” “The Egotistical Couple,”
“The Nice Bittle Couple,” “The Cou
ple Who Coddle Themselves,” and
“The Old Couple.”
And his conclusion, which is an ar
ticle which sums up or reviews the
entire subject. The most of us have
met with, or lived with, some of
these couples, or maybe We have only
traveled with them as strangers and
watched their methods or their mo
tions on steam cars or street cars, or
if it was a long time ago, in old
fashioned stage coaches.
We might suppose that his loving
couple came nearest- to blissful mat
rimony, but our supposition would
be all wrong. The loving couple that
he described were only a man and
wife who made their infelicity ap
parent in the first degree. Thus Dick
ens begins his description: “There
cannot be a better practical illustra
tion on the wise saw and ancient
incident, that there may be too much
of a good thing, when presented as a
loving couple; but there is a time for
all things, and the couple who are
always in a loving state before com
pany are well-nigh intolerable.”
You have seen couples of that va
riety, if you have been a keen ob
server, and Mr. Dickens flays them.
Music for Memorial Day
A North Carolina correspondent
wishes to know what sort of musi
cal numbers are most appropriate
for Memorial day services and ap
peals tft the Country Home Editor
for suitable selections. The North
Carolina letter came this forenoon,
and the exercises for the memorial
services were even then in progress
(today, April 26). I have been call
ed upon to deliver quite a number
of such Memorial addresses in past
years, and the band always played
“Dixie” and “Tenting on the Old
Camp Ground,” and other war tunes
of the early The religious
exercises are generally opened or
concluded by the patriotic hymn
“America.” “Star Spangled Banner”
is generallv heard also. In country
places, with exercises at country
churches, the religious exercises gen
erally are most prominent. Some
times the graveyards are a scene of
general decoration. Families assem
ble. hear the eat a fine
picnic dinner, and then go over the
graveyard with flowers and lay the
blossoms on the graves of their an
cestors.
This is a beautiful custom when
ever it is used, and if the dead are
able to look down, they would doubt
less be gratified at such filial at
tentions. , . x er.
Talking on the subject of boom
towns, Rev. Sam Jones once said
there was one city that was never
affected by booms or speculators,
and it grows apace, in flush times
and hard times, namely the ceme
teries. Those who settle down, nev
er moved away, and that was one
place that all could go ai)d live with
the rest without envy, or social
strife. , . ,
As a rule the people do not give
proper attentions to the graves Ox
their dead. They forget. The grass
springs up and the marble stones
are blackened by age.
The custom of carrying flowers to
the graves of our dear ones, should
never be discouraged. It is a small
tribute to pay to those who loved
us and always helps the one who
does it.
Toing His Own Whipping
Alexander Dickenson, an old negro
and an ex-slave, called on me to
write for him the name and address
of a prominent optician to whom he
had been advised to apply for suit
able eyeglasses.
When I had written the address,
“Seein’ you writin dat Missis,
’minds me of suppin’ what happened
endurin’ of slavery time. Hit didden
happen ter me, but ter some one
livin’ near my oT Marster’s place
In dem days, Missis, do white folks
trus’ed one ’nother. Es one neighbor
sont to borry suppin’ f’om ’nother,
when he sont hit back or sont some
mo’ in hit’s place, dey diden’ measure
ter sea es de full complement wer

“Well, one day dis here neighbor
what lived near ter us, had loant
some corn ter one er his good frien’s,
an' de time come when his frien’ wer
returnin’ hit.
“Missis, when de man what tooii
back de corn come, he say:
“ ‘Bos, my Ol’ Marster say fer you
all ter measure dis here corn.' He
uns’er; ‘Put de corn down, en go

corn -’ :
“De Boss he say agin: ‘Put dat
corn down, en go on home.’
“De nigger, he pester de Boss so,
till he say ter one er his own nig
gers: ‘You Crawford Mitchell, come

High Flaring Collars
Frocks with high flaring collars
and nipped in pointed bodices are
making their appearance here and
there, but their success is a matter
of considerable doubt. One of these
in black taffeta adds to its eccentrici
ties a one-sided hip flare, produced by
two loose folds.
If a little henna serge frock Is de
signed, plain and straight as a pipe
stem, the designer at once repents,
plaids the lower portion of it with
lines of bright raised embroidery,
binds various hip and breast pockets
with oilcloth, edges the flaring open
collar with a pleating of white linen
and turns back immensely wide .cuffs
from the wrist of the same finely
pleated sheer white stuff.
Trimmings have taken on extraor
dinary characteristics, which range
from the barbaric to the quaint.
One of the most effective of these
is a peculiar form of needlework
which consists in catching bits of cut
wool to the fabrics by means of a
stitch in bright silk. This sort of
trimming is sometimes elaborated
into a real work of art. In 6ne
charming drapped frock of beige
georgette with a sash in brown satin
ribbon the tunic is bordered with
such a design in browp silk floss.
The motif is picked out with
raised, thistlelike pompons of the
brown floss.
Chowder, Made From
Vegetables, Healthful
A mixed vegetable chowdre is a
substantial dish and one well liked
bv the majority of people for lunch
eon or supper. The following recipe
is one recommended by the home
economic specialist of the United
States department of agriculture:
Four potatoes, three carrots, three
onions, one pint canned tomatoes, txvo
cups skim milk, two tablespoons fat,
or a piece of salt pork, three level
tablespoons flour, two teaspoons salt.
Cut'potatoes and carrots in small
pieces, add enough water to cover,,
and cook for twenty minutes. Do
not drain off the water. Brown the
chopped onion in the fat for five min
utes. Add this and the tomatoes to
the vegetables. Heat to boiling, add
two cups of skim milk, and thicken
with flour. Celery tops or gri?en pep
pers give a good flavor, too.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am coming to you for advice.
If a boy has been going with a
girl and it comes a real cold Sunday
which I would call cold, windy rainy
and snowing a little should she ex
pect him to come when he doesn’t
live very far? There has been a boy
going with me and my grandmother
and sisters and brother don’t like
for him to go and he knew it. So he
began writing and quit coming and
I heard he let another boy read one
of mJ letters and I never answered
his last letter. I dropped him a card
and told him I would answer his let
ter when I saw him and haven’t seen
him since. What would you do? A
boy writes to me nearly every day,
but he hardly ever comes to me.
Something happens every time he
starts to come. Should I tell him he
must stop or come to see me more
regularly or what should I do?
Is it any harm for two to marry
by the same name and no relation?
Your advice will be certainly ap
preciated, as I have no mother and
father. Please send advice as early
as possible for I am anxious.
F. L.
If the weather is very bad even
if it is only a short distance
and the young man has to walk
it ,1 hardly think you should get
angry with him if he fails to
keep his date. Put yourself in his
place. Still there are some men
who let nothing like weather
conditions stop them, when they
go a-courting.
If your grandmother and sister
and brother are against the boy
who called upon you, then there
must be a reason. Perhaps he is
not the right sort. Often girls
become infatuated with a boy re
gardless of who he is. They only
take him for what he looks
like.
If he let another boy read
your letter I think he did wrong
and you had better give him
up.
Well if the other boy keeps
making excuses about coming to
see you, drop him. Don’t answer
his letters.
There is absolutely no harm in
any one marrying another by the
same name.
If I can help you in any other
way I will be glad to do so. My
heart goes out to all motherless
girls.
Dear Miss Meredith: lam writing
for a little advice. Am eighteen years
old, and not bad looking.
I have been going with one boy reg
ularly for the past two years. He
has told me more than once that he
loved me more than any other girl,
and has given me everything in the
shape of presents that a girl could
desire. My smallest wish is gratified.
Is this any proof of his love? I think
I really do love him now. though I did
not at first. Should I tell him so if
he wants to know?
Still claiming to love me more than
all the world, he says it is not
enough to marry me. We had. never
talked of the future before. Can you
tell me what he can possibly mean
by such a statement? Should I let
him make love to me under the cir
cumstances?
Is it proper for a boy to give a girl
a ring other than an engagement
ring, that is if he is not engaged to
her?
What stones are appropriate for en
gagement rings?
Thanking you in advance for the
above adviee, and trusting that I
may find my answer in The Tri-
Weekly, I am,
“LONESOME.”
Lonesome: When a man gives
a woman expensive presents he
evidently must care for her; but
often costly presents are given un
der conditions. No girl has any
right to accept them from him
unless she is engaged, to marry
him.
How do you act toward him?
If he has been in any way fa
miliar with you, you can scarce
ly expect him to marry you.
Though a woman may be ten
times better than a man, still it
has always been the way of man
to want to -wed purity. If a girl
allows a man privileges she de
stroys her future, and a wise girl
knows that the more particular
she is the quicker she will win
out. It is human nature to want
the things so far beyond our
reach, and the things which are
the hardest to get. '
If I were you I would find out
how I stood ii! his estimation, and
tryto give him up if you
think he is only going with you
to pass the time away. Diamonds
are considered the true engage
ment stone. But often inexpen
sive rings are given with other
stones as settings. To people who
are really in love the kind of
ring means little, except the
value of sentiment placed upon if
by love.

5 pounds. Your treatment is a Godsend to
all thin women. I am so grateful you may

Miss P. 8., Swanton, Ohio, says: “I con
