AUNT JULIA'S
LETTER BO,X
Dear Children:
Did any of you ever have a pet turtle? One came in our yard
the other day and I very much wanted him for a pet, but I simply
didn’t know how to go about making him understand that. If any
of you know how to take care of a turtle or have had one for a
pet, please write me. I hope this one will stay with us and I’d like
for him to learn to trust us. His shell is marked like tortoise shell,
and it is a wonderful house, built surely to protect him against ill
treatment, but I have seen children kick turtles, and it always seemed
so unnecessary. Whenever we are guilty of ill-treating a helpless
thing like that we are making a black mark on our character. Which
reminds me that this is the time for the frog to come to see us, do
be kind to him, he is harmless and very good for your garden as he
eats up the bugs that would destroy your plants.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
U. S. Naval Training Station, Naval Oper
ating Base, Hampton Roads, Va.
April 7, 1920.
Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: I just
wonder what you all are doing for your
selves tonight. As for myself I am not
doing anything, so I thought I would write
a few lines to the letter box, as it has
been some time since I have written, I won
der will I be welcomed back in your happy
band again? Well, I will wait and see.
Some of the cousins probably remember
me, but I’ll tell you again, I am only one of
Uncle Sam'e blue-eyed tailors, brown hair,
medium complexion, five feet six inches in
height, and weigh about 140 pounds; now
don’t I make some great big old sailor? Ha!
I guess you are thinking that they don't
care what they take in the navy, from my
description, don’t you?
How does this beautiful spring weather
suit you? It sure makes anyone feel good,
and full of life, don’t you agree with me?
I am sure you would if you could get a
taste of the life here in Hampton Roads,
during the day to feel the cool breeze from
the bay, see the large ships coming in and
going out of the Roads, and at night to hear
the fog horns from the ships and see the
great searchlights from the ships. Oh, well,
it makes a fellow feel like he is proud of
being one of *he boys in blue. And to lead
the fascinating life of a sailor, is just
grand. We have all the amusements a fel
low could wish for. Boxing and wrestling
every Friday night, motion pictures in the
auditorium on Tuesdays, Thursday and Sat
urday nights, and Monday nights they have
a company of musicians to give entertain
ments; they do everything possible to make
a sailor feel that he is wanted and re
spected in the navy. I’ll write' you a little
piece of poetry “entitled” “Chow,” and
close, before you tire of this non-interest
ing letter.
The food that one gets in the Army or Navy,
The beans and the soup, the meat and the
gravy;
The rice and the spice, the stew and the
bread.
Is classified .under the general head—
Os chow.
You quit sleep at five and you start It
at nine;
You work like a Turk and you limber your
spine;
You go through the mill of a vigorous drill.
But though you’re, exhausted you still get
a fill—
Os chow.
It sounds Oriental, but tastes very pleasant;
You never get filets or turkey or pheasant.
But when it comes down to the crux of the
matter,
There’s only one title that goes with a
platter—
Os chow.
What matters the dress of ths mess any
how?
Just serve up the cabbage or serve up the
cow;
The lad in the service will gobble it in,
He never holds back when it’s time for the
tin —
Os chow.
I have written over the limit, but here's
hoping that Aunt Julia will be kind enough
to print it, so I will bid you all good night
and go. A sincere sailor boy,
LAWTON HALL.
Executive Office N. O. 8., Hampton

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit an Alabama kid in your band of
bqys and girls? I had a hard time get
ting here. Wil you let me in? What
makes me so late is that I had to stop
by New York to see one of those girls in
Georgia. Well, I guess that I had better
stop my foolish talk. As others describe
themselves I will do likewise. I am be
tween 17 and 25 years young, brown hair
and eyes, five feet and nine inches low.
Aunt Julia, my occupation is breeding poul
try. Did you know this? Will tell others
how to do this business, as there is great
money in this business. Wee-wee, Mr. W.
B. is about to get me; kick him, beat him,
keep him from making a new kid of me.
Irene Bagwell, stop laughing at me. Aunt
Julia, please print tins if it is worth print
ing. Find inclosed for someone, this is a
wee-bit for baby. All you cousins write
nnd I will tell you about this French fort
here on Tombigbee river. Write, old and
young. Your nephew,

REMARKABLE
RECOVERY
Due to Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
Philadelphia, Pa.—“l want to let
you know what good Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable
Compound has
done me. I had
organic troubles
and am going
through the
Change of Life.
I was taken with
a pain in my side
and a bad head
ache. I could not
lie down, could
not eat or sleep.
I suffered some-
hi
thing terrible and the doctor’s medi
cine did me no good at all —my pains
got worse instead of better. I began
taking the Vegetable Compound and
felt a change from the first. Now I
feel fine and advise any one going
through the Change of Life to try it,
for it cured me after I had given up all
hopes of getting better. You can
publish this and I will tell any one
who writes to me the good it has done
me.”—Mrs. Margaret Danz, 743 N.
25th Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
It hardly seems possible that there
is a woman in this country who will
continue to suffef without giving
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound a trial after all the evidence
that is continually being published,
proving beyond contradiction that
this grand old medicine has b elieved
maify suffering women.

in Uncle Sam’s service. Two of them went
to France, and both got back home O. K.
Well, cousins, I see most of you love to
crochet nnd I am one more that loves the
work. How many of you love music? I
do for one. I can play the organ and have
a brother that plays the violin. Say, cou
sins, can’t some of you come up and get
acquainted with your new North Carolina
cousin ? I believe you would enjoy your
visit, for v/e have lots of fun boat' riding
and I think we live in a beautiful place,

afraid I hav« stayed too long, so I guess I
will close, lining to hear from the cousins,

a long time, but at last have decided to

new niece and cousin,
MYRTLE INEZ VINSON.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please let
me in this rainy morning. Wonder what
you ull are doing? 1 notice one of the
cousins (I have forgotten her name) said
she didn’t think it right to take up so much
space describing ourselves. I agree with
her. We should try and write letters that
would be helpful and interesting to the
cousins. Aren't we having some beautiful
spring days? The trees and flowers are a
real feast for the eyes. Cousins, I’m going
to ask a favor of you. If any of you know
the song, “Jesse James,” please send me
the ballad, and I assure you it will be ap
preciated. In return I will send you the
ballad of “Pierce Travis” or “Mary Pha
gan.” I guess I had better close, else
Aunt Julia will think it too long. I will
say that I’m an old cousin.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am a girl, 18 years of age and
live with my father on a farm. Am
still in school. My mother is dead
so I am coming to you for advice. I
think every girl or boy ought to try
to do something for themselves. I
have been thinking of entering train
ing to be a nurse or taking a busi
ness course. I’ve never had any de
sire to teach school. Which of the
other occupations would you advise
me to take up? My father is finan
cially able to keep me up as long as
I live and I certainly have a good
home, but still, as I said, I think
girls ought to do something for
themselves. I won’t bother you
With the marrying subject as that’s
something every one should decide
for themselves. I have lots of boy
friends and enjoy being with them,
but I am too young and have too
many other things to think of to
study about marrying. Will appre
ciate your advice. Hope to see this
in The Journal.
MARY.
Mary: Yoti show a great
amount of common spnse, judg
ing from your letter, and I think
you are right to want to do
something for yourself. One
never knows when misfortune
will overtake them, and it is
best to be prepared to meet it.
Either trained nursing or a busi
ness course is all right. Which
ever one you think you are most
suited for. Girls and young
.women out in the business world
today are getting along well,
their ability and sense
is recognized and appreciated
as never before. Be sure
what you want to do, then
set about doing it in a “bound
to win” spirit and you will be
surprised to know how many
girls have made good in a
year or two, those who went
about learning business profes
sions with a grim determination
to win.
Miss Mary Meredith: I am com
ing to you for advice. I am a lone
ly wife of 17 years of age. I mar
ried when I was 13 years old. I
have one child 15 months old. My
husband seemed to love me dearly
until about a year ago. Now he
goes off and stays weeks at the
time and leaves baby and I at home
by ourselves. ■ Do you think he
loves me? I love him dearly. Would
you advise me to stay with him or
leave him? Thank you for your ad
vice.
LONELY LEE.
Lonely Lee: Poor little kid
die, here you are nothing but a
child, and with your shoulders
already bowed down with the
responsibility of married life
and its problems. Then they
say men are not to blame. Right
now you don’t know any more
of the problems of life than you
did at thirteen, yet you have a
child to look after, and a good
for-nothing husband, who brow
beats you and makes your miser
able life worse. I hardly know
what to tell you to do. If you
have a father and mother, you
had better go home, but one
thing sure, you should make him
support you, there is a law that
will make him. Maybe if you can
go home for awhile he will real
ize he is doing wrong and will
cut out some of his wild ways.
I hope he loves you, I hope there
is still a spark left. You de
serve it. Try to win him back
if you can. You can do lots with
kind words and patience, if you
try. See if you haven’t been a
little bit to blame. If you are
sure you have not then leave
him. If you can take care of
yourself.
Dear Miss Meredith: I am a boy
of (20) twenty, coming to you for
advice. I am a farmer, finished
school in 1917 and I care not to be a
farmer. I want to go to a business
college somewhere in South Carolipa.
Could you tell me of a good one? I
care not to get married yet a while.
I want to prepare two or three years.
Can you advise me what to do be
sides farm?
I am not a member of the church,
though I go to church and Sunday
school every Sunday. Do you think
I should join the church and let it
come first of all? Thanking you for
your advice ahd hoping to see this
in print. A WORRIED BOY.
A WORRIED BOY.
There is a business college in
Greenville, S. C., Kings’ college,
they say is very good. I do not
blame you for wanting a busi
ness education, and I think you
are wise to go to a good busi
ness college. Here in Atlanta
are several very good ones.
They teach you a thorough
course. Y'ou are sensible not to
marry yet. I think being a
member of a church is essential,
one must have spiritual training
as well as moral training, and
the influence of the church
helns us to Hve honest.' un
right lives. The church should
be a part of your lifo. as your
Other interests are. If I can be
of service to you in °nv other
way. Write to me I will be very
glad to help yon all I can.

Please give me some names of good
music schools. Do you think if I
wear my brassiere very tight it would
be injurious to my lungs or cause
me to have consumption?. I am

line because my father’s people have
it. I don’t care for boys only as
friends. I think it so silly for a
girl of sixteen or seventeen to De

I am almost eighteen and I have
never gone with but very few boys,
it was because I didn’t care for
them. I will appreciate your- ad
vice very much. Now hope to see

they take students to board or
not, but yoq can obtain board
near there. ;Do not wear your
brassieres too tight, just tight
enough to have a smooth fit.
Boys are well enough and it is
only natural that girls want to
have their company, but at the
same time girls ought not to
marry so young, they only lose
so many opportunities to enjoy
themselves.
I hope I have given you the
information you desired. Am
sorry I waited so long to give
you a reply. Write to me again.
Dear Miss Mary: I am a boy of
twenty-three years, coming to you
for advice and believe me, I need it
too. There is a girl that loves me
dearly, and I don’t love her, only
with a friend’s love, and I don’t want
to break her heart as I know the
sting, what shall I do? I have
known this girl since childhood. We
played together, but I don't want to
■ marry her. My complexion is fair,
i eyes gray, hair black, height 6 feet
3 inches, weight 188. So I am not
good looking. I did not teach this
girl to love me, so I am in the mid
dle of a bad fix. Thank you in ad
vance. A. E. Hj, R. R. B|.

If you are sure you care hoth
ing for the girl, it is best to tell
her so. You can find the oppor
tunity to break it to her gently,
without huring her feelings to
any great extent. Just say you
hope to keep her friendship al
ways but there is another whom
you love, and in justice to your
self you couldn’t pretend a love
you do not feel. It is far better
to be honest with the girl than
to lead her on just because you
feel sorry for her. Time is a
cure for most things and it will
help her to forget you. She will
eventually get over it. One’s
ideas and notions change with
the years and loves of yester
year are not the love’s of today.
I do not think her heart will
quite break, at least I hope not.
I am twenty-six years old and
have been going with a girl for
some time and I think, a lot of her.
I don’t know whether she cares any
thing for me or not. How can 1
find out and how often should a
boy go to see a girl? How would be
the proper way to propose to a
girl? Your advice on this will be
greatly appreciated.
BLACK EYES.
Black Eyes.—How can you ex
pect the girl to tell you she loves
you when you do not ask her?
If you want to find out the best
way is to ask her the plain un
varnished question. If you have
been calling on her for some
time and you have every reason
to believe she prefers you to
any one else, then ask her to
marry you. Some men actually
get scared to death when they
want to “pop the question.”
But there is no need of fear.
Don’t be a coward, just ask the
girl to marry you and if she
says no, then ask her the reason
why, and if she has a good rea
son and will not, then that is
your misfortune and maybe hers.
Who knows? Two or three times
a week is proper if you are much
in love, and if she will let you
call that often. Don’t go every
night, she might get tired of
looking at you. and besides you
might be intruding on the other
people, her parents, for instance,
and they will call you a nuisance.
Fried Eggs
Eggs.
Butter.
Salt and pepper.
If one uses a chafing dish place
the blazer over the flame and heat
very hot. Put in butter, about 1
tablespoonful, just enough to keep
the eggs from sticking. Add eggs,
being careful not to break the yolk. ■
Pour in a very little hot water. The 1
steam cooks the top of the eggs,
making them white on top. Season
with salt and pepper and serve very
hot. .
The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
Frances Willard’s Wise Words
Among my newspaper clippings—
I find some wise words written in
the year 1887 by Miss Frances Wil
lard concerning “Dress and Vice.”
“In our day the present costly
and insane style of dress is, per
haps, the worst temptation to vice
among the poor. . . .
‘‘The style of dress' among hired
girls is often pitiful to see. But it
usually puts to shame the mistress
more than the maid by reason of
tawdry imitations of tawdry fash
ions, set in the parlor, which in
this democratic land the kitchen will
be sure to follow. It also indicates
a lack of sympathy between these
two parts of the house. The true
Christian lady will make common
cause with her helpers, especially
counseling them in regard to health
and setting an example of modera
tion in regard to personal expendi
ture. ... If women realized the un
speakable degradation of exposure
of the person, if they reflected upon
the consequences to the world in
the case that women should dress as
they should do, if they could be
made to know the results that will
inevitably flow and swiftly follow
such immoral exhibitions of what
should be reserved for the sacred
and inmost privacy of the home,
they would need no tinge of arti
ficial color to the cheeks, which
would be carmined with shame. If
these young women could hear the
remarks of the young men as they
pass by, they would never appear
again in such horrid styles.
And jet it is quite likely that
these absurd looking young women
are not nearly so bad as they seem.
They are thoughtless and crude.
She will say: “She might as well be
out of the world as out of the fash
ion.” ... It is the legitimate part
of our social purity and temperance
work to take away the reproach that
justly falls upon women nowadays
because of their ignorance, concern
ing their own health, and their
thoughtless addition to the tempta
tions of men, by their manner of
dress. The theater and t?ie houses
of pleasure that take a hold on death
must cease to crack the whip of
fashion over the heads of virtuous
womanhood. Our duty in the case
is Immediate. We must assert our
independent dignity. We must con
sider manhood’s points of view as
well as our own.”
This article, written by Miss Wil
lard, went to the press thirty-three
years ago. Every word of it is as
true today. We have gone on, from
bad to worse. It is far from my de
sire to unduly criticize the young
women.
Alas! and the elder women too,
wte <o out into public company with
clothes enough upon' their
&«».>• to hide the parts that should
ncrwT bee* seen nude outside of tby
ifttiermOHt privacy of the horai
»*cumlng zg.
ttww« u* age €x-
>*rten<MS cannot put aside the call of
duty, to tiie younao? women
of their own community.
Paris has, for a long time, set
the pace for outre fashions. It is
the outre and daring styles that ar
rest attention on the streets. In the
ballrooms, and on theater boards, and
in public dance halls.
The nearer naked a young woman
can present herself in such places,
the more those places are frequent
ed by men of loose and idle habits.
It pays the proprietors of such places
to hire these brazen young women,
to dance and coquette with idle
rich young men. (Alas! and older
men, too) because the coin is handed
over the counter, but these “midway
orgies” eventuate in the fatal ruin
of character and virtue.
American women, young and old,
should call a halt on this immodest
exposure of their persons. Naked
backs and bosoms are exactly in line
with Paris styles, and it is getting
to be a question whether or not that
public safety will not demand some
legislation as to modest dress, etc.
The motherhood of our land should
call a halt on everything that per
verts the morals, and tempts the
unwary child, male or female. It
is hard to give clear expression to
these dangers, without plain words,
and these plain words are obliged
to be startling, when set down in
cold type.
The Passing Strange
Since moons decay and suns decline
How else should end this life of
mine?
Water and saltness are not wine.
But in the darkest hour of night,
When even the foxes peer for sight,
The byre-cock crows; he feels the
light.
So, in this water mixed with dust,
The byre-cock spirit crows from trust
That death will change because it
must.
For all things change the darkness
changes,
The wandering spirits change their
ranges,
The corn is gathered to the granges.
The corn is sown again; it grows;
The stars burn out, the darkness goes,
The rhythms change, they do not
• close.
They change, and we, who pass like
foam,
Like dust blown through the streets
of Rome,
Change ever, too; we have no home.
Only a beauty, only a power.
Sad in the fruit, bright in the Hower,
Endlessly erring for its hour.
But gathering, as we stray, a sense
Os Life, so lovely and intense,
It lingers when we wander hence.
That those who follow feel behind
Their backs, when all before is blind,
Our joy, a rampart to the mind.
—JOHN MASEFIELD.
