Idya Howell, if your pearls were in oysters that had been cooked they have no value. If they were taken from raw oysters, send them, with sufficient postage, insured, to cover their retturn, either to me or to your nearest reputable jeweler for valuation. I would be glad to attend to it for you, although you might hear sooner if you have jaweler near you. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you admit another South Carolina girl into your happy band? I have been a silent reader of the letter box for a good, long while, and as the business is not quote so rushing today I thought I would write yo\i all a few lines. Well, to begin with, how many of you all would like my work? I am agent and telegraph operator for the Charleston and Western Carolina Railroad company here. Sure keep busy sending and receiving messages, selling tickets, deliv ering freight, etc. Well, folks, as this is my first attempt. I’ll describe myself and make a home run. so you all won't have it to do. I am five feet six inches tall, weigh 135 pounds, have black hair, brown eyes and medium complexion. Guess my age, between 16 and 19. Well I must say good by. Your new cousin. LUCILLE McKELLAR. Jackson, 8. C., P. 0. Box 32. P. S.—lnclosed please find 25 cents for the French baby, and also I would enjoy hearing from any of the cousins. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you please let a little Alabama girl join your happy band of girls and boys? I have been wanting to write to the letter box for a long time but just could not pick up the courage to do so. I, like most of the cous ins, live on a farm and like it fine. Most all the cousins describe themselves, but I will not, but will tell you my age: Am eleven years old and in the fifth grade in school. I love to go to school and Sunday school. I also belong to the Junior B. Y. P. U. and the Sunbeam band. I want to be good and kind to everybody and every thing. especially to all dumb animals. I hope this escapes the wastebasket. If it does, I will come again. Your new cousin, IDA MAE DUKE. Cragford, Ala., Route 1. Dear Aunt Julia: May I drop my letter into the box? I have written once before and decided to write again. I have seen so many nice letters in the box from Geor gia. My father is contemplating going to Alabama, and I don’t like that, for I love old Georgia. How many of you cousins like to sew? I sure do. I am making a quilt, which I guess a lot of you cousins have made. What are you all doing during vaca tion? I’ll tell you my fun: I live close to the Chattooga river and I go in bath ing most every day. I am learning to swim. Aunt Julia, will you please publish Yvonne’s picture once more, as I did not get to see it before? Well, my letter is getting lengthy. I will close, asking all you eonsins to write to me (boys and girls both). Your little Georgia friend, (MISS) OBERA GLENN. Summerville, Ga. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May a stranger come in and join your happy band. I am from the dear old state of North Carolina. I have been reading almost all the letters and seeing the great work you were doing. I wrote once before, but I suppose I addressed it wrong. But I have gotten a nice girl correspondent through the letter sent, and have written to Mr. Cl aries F. Ward, although I don’t believe in writing to boys first, especially to strangers, but I learned in today’s paper that he got so many letters that he couldn’t answer them all. It is not a very good rule to describe yourself, but as I am a stranger I will tell how I look; dark blue eyes; long, golden, curly hair: 5 feet 3 inches tall; weigh 110 pounds; am 19 years old. Lovingly, EVA STEWART, Gloucester. N. C. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: How are you all feeling this morning. Hope all are doing fine, for 1 know I sure am. Just thought I would rund around to see how* you all were getting along, but as I see ; all are doing fine. I'll just make my visit . shorter. I’ve just come back from my , auntie's and I sure enjoyed myself. The protracted meeting will start at our church in about two weeks. Wish sciae of your cousins were here to go with us some. Now. Aunt Julia, please don’t give me too bad a scolding for writing to the letter Box too often, for I just like to write to it. I won’t ruin my letter by describing myself, Aun Julia. I hope you will print my letter as scon as you can, and then I won’t bother you tny more for quite a while. Will close with love aiid best wishes to each and every one of you. Your little friend, SARA G. MYERS. Camden. S. C., R. F. D.. No. 5. Box 126. Dear Aunt Julia and All: I will write a few lines to our grand circle this cloudy afternoon while I’ve nothing else to do. It has been real hot and dusty here for the past few weeks, but we have had some real nice rains, yesterday and today. Say, cousins, I’ve an idea and I v think it would be real interesting, that is to write about our towns or cities and tell how they were named. I live about six miles from Mat thews, two miles from Indian Trail and one mile from the small village of Stouts, where I go to school. Matthews was named aft er a man of that name, and Indian Trail was named for a trail that went through that country. I guess Stouts was named after a man there. I am fifteen years of age and would like to get mail from girls and boys around that age. As I am in hopes this little ipissive will be printed, I will bring this to a close an dmake room for someone else. Cousins, let’s try to write interesting letters and not take up much space with our descriptions. I just love to read the interesting letters that have subjects Lovingly, DEANE RITCH. Matthews, N. C., Route 26. Dear Aunt Julia: This rainy morning finds me trying to write your merry corner again. What are all of you cousins doing now? I am not doing very much. I cer tainly do think Aunt Julia is doing great work for the French orphan, but like some of the other cousins. I think she ought to help some little American orphan, for now is a very hard time, and there are many little children in America who are needing care as well as those over in France. We are going into harvesting before long and I have to help in the field as well as in the house. Suppose other girls have to do the same work. How many of you cousins have my birthday, which is August 5? I will be sweet sixteen my next birthday. I certainly do enjoy reading The Atlanta Journal. Aunt Julia’s letter box comes first for me to read and there are many inter esting letters in the letter box. Come again. Ruby Freeman and Mr. H. H. Hop kins, your letters were just grand. Well, cousins, my letter is rather lengthy and I suppose Mr. W. B. will be hungry, but I hope he misses this. Any of you cousins who want to correspond with a West Vir ginia girl, let your letters fly to (MISS) KITTIE PROPST. Bridgeport, W. Va. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: How are you folks feeling today? I bet the sun is making most of you feel good, isn’t it? I have written the letter box before but my letter was not printed. Aunt Julia, you don’t publish drawings, do you? I am crazy about drawing. I am a girl of six teen, dark hair, fair complexion. Do any of you like my description well enough to write me? If you do, then you are at lib erty to do so. You all should be here to attend the meetings with me. We are having a union meeting and getting along nicely with it. If any of you cousins can get the songs. “Sweet and Low” and “Freckles.” I certainly will appreciate them. I like music. Have been taking les sons a long time and I think these are the prettiest songs I most ever heard. I won’t take up any more space and will come again. Lovingly, LILLA WOODSON. Sturgis, Miss. < Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have been a silent admirer of the letter box for quite a while, so I have decided to join your happv band of boys and girls. I am a Florida girl, but I am staying in Georgia at the present. I think Prior Hurst’s sug gestion is une. My ambition is to be a school teacher. I wonder if any of the oth er cousins have the same ambition? If so, I would like to exchange letters with them. I dare not describe myself for fear you will all run away. I am twelve years old. Who has my birthday, October 1? Auntie, I want you and all the cousins to write to BENNY ARDEN BROWN. Hickox. Ga., Route 2, Box 44. p. s.—inclosed you will find 5 cents for the little orphan baby. I will write again and send more. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I am knocking again. This is my third attempt to gain admittance into your happy circle, so please, please, let me in this time. I am keeping house for my father and three brothers; my mother is dead and I am the only girl, so you see I get very lonesome THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. The Country Home BY MRS. W. H. 1 ELTON Primary Election Day When I woke up this morning (September 8) the clouds hung I eavy and forecasted a wet day. Inside of an hour the rain began to fall. Tn very crowded communities like New York or Chicago a rain on election day is a serious setback and gener ally means a small vote at the polls. In the south, “down in Georgia,” it generally stands for a full vote, es pecially with outdoor laborers, who cannot perform their out-of-door tasks. If there is nothing doing to make wages then they are ready to participate and vote. As the campaign for the United States senate and for governor has been a heated one, the day promises to be stormy in more ways than one. Some of us will be glad when this primary Is over with. It is likely to leave many wounds, no mat ter how it goes. Also it will have its effec. in the November election. It will cut a wide swath in the election for national offices. The primary of today will virtually settle the state election, but the real election on November 2 is still an open forum for voters for two months to come. Unless today’s primary is perfect ly fair at and around the ballot box there will be opportunity for protest. The heat, fury and unlimited abuse of candidates will not tolerate any fraud or stuffed ballot boxes. This is a so-called white primary. It demands clean handling and an honest county. Otherwise there will never be another such a primary in the state of Georgia under Demo cratic rulings. Controlling the colored vote is one thing, suppressing a white man's ballot privilege is another. You know that. So do I. The time was. when I was much vounger than today, that it was con sidered smart tactics to manipulate ballot boxes on election day. I lived then, and still live, in a congression al district where the grossest frauds were perpetrated on election day, condoned under the plea of “white supremacy.” Such tactics always sowed the seeds of discord and be smirched the perpetrators. In conclusion, I am hoping that Georgia in 1920 has an honest set of men to count the ballots cast by white men today. I am hoping also that there will be no disorder at the polls. Bloodshed among humans is a bad thing, no matter where it is exploited. I am hoping that liquor will be suppressed, but I am told that my county is full of it, and sold in Coca-Cola bottles at ?3.00 a half pint. I went in .person to our sheriff and so informed nim. If he was cor rect when he told me “it was so, ana couldn’t be helped," I am afraid our law enforcement against liquor is a dead letter. WHAT ABOUT THIS -JUMPING COTTON MARKET? The newspapers informed us on yesterday that cotton jumped seven dollars a bale. When a bale weighs 500, and jumps a cent a pound it means $5 per bale. There fore the hoist upwards was one and a half cents on each pound of mid dling cotton. I have discovered that cotton traders went nearly wild, when the bears hammered cotton down to 35 cents. They bought all in sight and in reach. If they sold what they bought last week at the price yesterday, they have a tull pocket, easily made, and with no labor to show for the profit Os course they had anxiety. The gambler at Monte Carlo ——has anx iety—but he continues to rake in the cash —eh! These cotton speculators, made more out of that rise of W than the producer will make, who owned the land, plowed the soil and paid all expenses in preparing the staple for the sale. Thus the World Wags Thus the big fish eat up the lit tle ones. Thus the many are placed in serfdom, to the powerful few, who can bull and bear the cotton market —and all other staples that are necessary to human existence. It has been so since I have known the world. I guess It will always be so, so long as human nature is what it is. and blue sometimes. Will describe myself and go: I have brown hair, medium dark eyes, fair complexion, *i?ck eyebrows, weigh 105 pounds and am 5 feet 2 inches tall. There! When you all get through laughing let me know. Your loving nelce and counsin, ADA FLOWE. R. F. D. No. 1, Cabarrus, N. C. Good Afternono Aunt Julia and Cousins: Just a few minutes’ chat with you and I will be gone. Maybe it is time for Mr. Waste Basket to take an afternoon walk, or at least I hope so, for I don’t think he has any business arount Aunt Julia’s of?ce any way. How many of you cousins agree with me. I received several cards and let ters, but haven’t answered all of them yet. Louise Fisher and Jewel Baily, why don’t you write to the Letter Box? I will answer your letters soon. Well, i guess I better ring off, as Aunt Julia has a few rules printed. You (girls) must write to me. i will answer all I get from girls, so let your letters fly to, SALLIE TRIMMAL, Route 5, Box 28, Camden, S. C. Brewton, Ala., July 27, 1920. Dear Aunt Julia: I have been reading your page for a long, long time and I have enjoyed the letters so much. I think this is one of the greatest ways to get ac quainted with the people as through their letters, we get their ideals and ambi tions. I have never written to Aunt Julia’s letter box before, but I wrote to the Violet Corner in the “Home and Farm.” I don’t suppose any of you remember me, as it has been several years ago. Now, I suppose some of yotj will form the opinion that I am an “old’maid,” but 1 am just twenty. I am very fond o. athletics, especially basket ball. T am a great lover of music and flowers. Roses and carnations are my favorite flowers an-, my favorite books are "The Rosary” and “The Daughter of Land.” There are so many things in life which are given us to enjoy, but so many of us do not know the value of them and, therefore, we do not enjoy and appreciate as we should. I must stop and leave space for others. Will answer all cards and let ters received. ETTA DAY. Brewton. Ala., Route C. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Rain! rain all day here. Why. no wonder it’s raining so. it’s rainy season now. cousins. Well. well, auntie, this is the fourth time I have written to the letter box and I am going to keep on writing until I get a let ter printed. Cousins, how do you like the title. “Help for the Helpless. Kindness to All Dumb Things” at the head of our col umn? I like it fine. Alice Mae Holton, why don't you answer the card I wrote you? Look here, cousins, my birthday comes Sep tember 12, 1920. and I want a card and letter shower. I will be thirteen years old my next birthday. Morningglory is my birth flower. I will be in the sixth grade at school next term. Our school will start September 1. 1920. Aunt Julia. please, please don’t let the W. B. get this. Hope you cousins won’t forget a lonely Florida girl. Lovingly. (MISS) WILLIE MAE ARNOLD. Nocatee. Fla. P. S.—Aunt Julia, let’s have a “Flower Special,” in which every cousins can tell all they can about flowers of different kinds. Then if there are people who don’t know about flowers, they could read what we write about them. Thank you if you will. I am sure it would be interesting.

I was go ing with a boy and was writing to another boy, too. He found it out and got mad. I spoke to him, but he wouldn’t speak. Now he to go with me. What can I do. Is it right for a boy to call a girl sister? And ask how old she is? Am I too young to wear my hair in puffs? How can I fix it, as my hair is so short? What does a boy mean when he winks at a girl? If a girl asks a boy three or four times for his pic ture and he doesn’t say anything, what should she do? Please don’t think I have marriage in my head, for I have not. Do I write good? Please answer all my questions through The Journal. From, “BABY BROWN EYES.” At your age boys and girls get angry and make up, at intervals, so it doesn’t mean anything. If you like the boy well enough, for give his little jealousies, and let him be on friendly terms. There is no harm in a boy calling you sister. And you aren’t old enough yet to be ashamed of your age. The young girls in society up to 18 are wearing bobbed hair, combed out bushy in the back. But if one has nice, soft, long hair, it would be a pity to cut it off. Pay no attention to the boy’s winks except to call him silly, for it really is a silly thing to indulge in. You shouldn’t ask boys for their pictures, it might embarrass them. If they want you to have their photograph they will hand it over with pleasure. Your handwriting is very good. Dear Mrs. Meredith: I am coming to you for advice. I am just crazy about a boy only seventeen. He is as nice as can be. I think every body likes him and speaks well of him. He lives not so very far from me. He has a sister that I think lots of and I think she likes me. 1 went to prayer meeting the other night and lie uidn’t even . speak to me, and I don’t know what was the mat ter with him. I know I have not done anything to make him not speak to me. What should I do about it? And how can I make him love me? Sometirnes he acts like the loves me and then again he acts line he doesn’t care anything about me? 1 thina tie loves me, but he just doesn’t want to show it. I don’t know whether he cares anything about any other girls or not; he never has said. But I just dearly love him. Thanking you for your advice. CURLY LOCKS. The troubles with you, you have let that boy see how “crazy” you are about him. You have been in his path every time he landed on the sidewalk; he has seen you, everywhere, at times when he wished you were at the north pole. Do you know that is the surest way in the world to make a man despise a woman, or the male the female? Do not let him see you so often; keep out of his way. Don’t tell anyone how crazy you are about him. Treat him pleasantly and refrain from questioning him when you do see him. Talk about pleasant things, and then he will take a real sidelong glance at you and realize that you are attractive, after all. Let him be the hunter in the chase.

And you will forget all about this “love affair” on the opening of next spring’s flowers. You should be 21, in order to have sense enough to marry; you should be able to wear most any color.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS CONCERNING KISSES BY DOROTHY DIX The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer (Copyright. 1920. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) THE other day a woman applied to the court for an order re straining her husband from kissing her so often. She said that he kissed her 300 times a da” and she was fed up on kisses, and satisfied with demonstrations of af fection, and desired a surcease of them. ‘‘Women are queer creatures, and there is no satisfying them,” sighed the magistrate as he signed an in junction against the overly affec tionate husband, “most women who come to this court corapaiin that they are not kissed enough, and want the law to make their hus bands kiss them oftener.” And there you are, up against one of the biggest problems of matri mony, which is to fix the proper number of kisses which should con stitute the daily menu in a happy household, and preserve the nice bal ance which makes kisses plentiful enough and yet keeps them in the sweetmeat class. For, alas, we have no Sentimental Hoover to ration kisses, and tell us just how many per diem constitute romantic profiteering, or how few will starve affection to death, or just what amount of osculation :r requires to keep a woman’s heart nourished without its cloying on her palate, and making her cry out with Solomon: “Feed me on apples. Stay me with flaggons, for I am sick of love.” Os course, this attempt to regulate the amount of kissing is of no in terest to the great majority of mar ried men, except as they are inter ested in any protective measure for their own greater safety and peace. Most married men hand out the daily domestic kiss j.ust as they put light ning rods on their houses—to aver’ the consequences of storms. And they are in no danger whatever of overdoing it, or forcing their wives to call for help. The average man does all of the kissing in which he takes an active personal interest in the days be fore marriage when he has to steal a kiss or beg for one. When it be comes his legal duty to kiss a woman every time he comes and goes, he does it in the Same spirit in which he pays the grocery bill. Kissing has become merely a part of matrimony, one of its obliga tions, and he meets it like a man. Heaven knows he is'no welcher. Why women lay such stress"on be ing kissed husbands never figure out. Neither does anybody else. No wom an could tell you, to save her life, why she fee]s ill-used or neglected if her husband fails to give her a peck on the cheek when he starts forth to business of a morning. Still less does she know why she makes the number of his kisses a test of love. She does, however, and it is a fact that a woman will believe that the man who beats and starves her, and makes her work to support him, loves her devotedly if he kisses her twenty times a day, while she will doubt the affection of a husband who works himself to death to indulge her in luxuries if he happens to be a poor kisser. Certainly nothing more unromantic or unsentimental than the matutinal kiss with which women insist on be ginning the day can be imagined. For nobody has a heart or a soul at breakfast time. These are organs we develop later in the day. Early in the morning we are nothing but stomach anfd brains and hands. We are eager to get to work. We are full of plans of action. We are not thinking of our fellngs, or dwell ing upon the state of our affections. And we dr n’t want to kiss; we want our coffee and to get busy. And, although they don’t know it. women are no more in the mood for kissing than are men. If you will notice, you will observe that a wom an always turns tne back of her head, or her left ear to her hus bands ham-and-eggs salute.

And no wom an who wanted a kiss, or expected to thrill to one, would fail to provide the proper scenery. The truth is, we cannot do any thing every day without its becoming a habit. Nor can we do anything that we are expected to do, and re minded of if we forget it, and called down for if we don’t do it, without our coming to look upon it as a duty, and which we loathe because it is a duty. N. r is there anything of which we so soon become satiated as too much sweets. No candy maker ever eats chocolate creams. If wives would only remember these few elementary peculiarities of human nature and call off the daily kiss, and make their other kisses few and far apart, and something to be sought instead of being thrust upon their husbands, 4hey would give their husbands interests in kiss ing and occasionally get a kiss that had the old-time flavor. Women do well to apply ■‘he acid test to kisses, anyhow. Judas be trayed his Lord with a kiss, and thousands of men betray women the same every day. For there is no such way to blind a woman as to kiss her eyes shut. As a rule, the more a man kisses, the less he is to be trusted. So be ware, ladies, of the kissing bug!

Ar PREF. caiclctt f and her smile worked automatically; her clothes were “just right,” and he rfavorite color was pink She loved Ethel Barrymore, was “crazy” about golf, doted on Douglas Fairbanks, and was “passionately fond of maple fudge, Mischa Elman, old mahogany, and May Sinclair. Yea, unto her, a “Thesaurus” was an extinct animal, and a dictionary merely something to stand on when talking at the telephone And all her days were pleasant and placid, and her dancing-partners and her flirtations sufficient to make life interesting. And those who came near her were strangely soothed and comfort ed. For marriage was her mecca. and she had never been troubled with a “mission,” nor with a pang of ar tistic temperament Now, it came to pass, that a vil lain espied her, and was smitten with an evil desire to wreck her happi ness. For, behold, he wooed her with aft ernoon tea, and serpentine flatteries, saying: “Why dost thou hide thy light un der a bushel of commonplaceness? “Yea, why hast thou never sought to ‘express thyself’? “For 10, thou hast personality—• and such a ’bright mind’!” \ And the scales fell from the dam sel’s eyes, and she was bitten! And, straightway, she hastened ' unto a barber shoii, and was bob bed.” And thereafter she appeared, ar rayed in garments which seemed to have been designed in a bad temper, and donned in a wind-storm. And, wheresoever she read a “clev er thing,” she learned it by heart, and quoted it from beginning to the end. Lo, when men called upon her she read them passages from the poets, and spake fervently of ‘com plexes,” and “automatic writing,” and her soul! And they fled from her in confu sion, and returned no more.. But her women friends were Strick er. with terror, and said: “For heaven’s sake!” And, it came to pass, that the damsel was cast out amongst the free verse poets, where there are no eligibles, and no marrying men. And she ended her days in a job and a studio-flat! Verily, verily, nothing more cruel, nothing more trogic, nothing more terrible can happen to a “nice girl" than to be told that she possesseth a “bright mind!” For these were the words of the serpent, when he offered the apple unto Eve. And the woman fell for it. And look at her. now! OastWiPW Snap up this chance to get 2 splendid garments 1 t the price of one. A most beautiful okirt at astunnn t and a petticoat abs* - free.
