FACTS ABOUT
FURNITURE
(In this series of illustrated
sketches, The TTi-Weekly Journal
presents the most interesting and
important points concerning “Period
Furniture.” Each little article will
be complete in itself.)
Type of Swiss Clock
The Swiss have always been fa
mous for their clocks. Many of the
clocks manufactured by them not
only struck the hours but also the
quarters and halves.
One of the Swiss clocks is shown
in the ’illustration. It has works of
brass while the case is inlaid. Like
many other clocks of that time, it
has little screens at the side to al
lo wthe sound to escape.
Novel Sashes to
Enhance Frocks
All sorts of novelties ar© to be
found among the new sashes. There
are the rainbow sashes, composed of
several lengths of different colored
ribbons sewed together, and sashes
of alternating rows of lace insertion
and ribbon. Sashes of lace with rib
bon ends, and of ribbon with lace
ends are to be had as well as sashes
of silk, all-over embroidered, and
broad velvet ribbon sashes.
Pressing Silk
When pressing silk, the iron should
not be too warm and unless there is
a cloth between the iron and the
silk, the material should never be
pressed on the right side. The iron
should be kept moving either across
or up and down.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
The Tri-Weekly Journal’s Own Serial
The Only Thing That Counts
A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia
By the Famous Novelist
Carolyn Beecher
(Copyright, 1920.)
CHAPTER II
HSLEN figured that the world
owed her a living—as well
as other things. But just
then recollections were un
welcome; even thought she held in
abeyance. She was in an unaccus
tomed state of physical fatigue when
it was impossible to reflect, almost
as impossible to think connectedly.
•"I shall love it here' —T shall for
get," she murmured, as she laid back
in an easy chair and allowed her eyes
to rove about the rooms, now so
daintily restful.
Her window was open. In the dis
tance she saw the square. She
caught a glimpse of the fountain.
The voices of children at play came
faintly to her ears. She saw the
seemingly endless line of green buses
which looked top-heavy with their
human freight. She inhaled deeply
of the crisp, invigorating air. She
moved her chair and laved jn the
sunshine*
The leaves of the trees were turn
ing. Gold; yellow, brown, they float
ed quietly ' downward from their
branches, then softly settled upon
the waiting earth. She watched a
while longer, then;
"I shall love it! I know I shall!"
she repeated.
If she thought of her past, there
was no trace of unrest upon her face,
no hint that it troubled her. .And
why should it? She was on the
threshold of a new life—one big with
possibilities.
"The world surely do move," she
quoted with a smile on her lips. "1
wonder will it move fast enough?"
Helen Westfield, as she sat by the
window musing, a smile just touching
her lips, a question in her eyes, was
very good to look upon. One won
dered why she had been disappointed
with life. She seemed made for the
good, the beautiful things. She was
tall,' lissome, brown-haired and gray
eyed. You might say that descrip
tion would fit any one of a hundred
girls. Granted. But when you acb
that the eyes were very large and
set wide apart, that the brow was
white and broad, that the brown
hair lay in natural waves about her
face, and that ’’her features while
irregular were piquant, perhaps the
description would not fit quite so
many.. 1
Helen was twenty-six.
One supposes nowadays that in
triguing beauty belongs to the very
young. And no one calls twenty J six
young, yet when Helen had formed
one of a party she had outshone,
outfascinated the peachblow girls
who always secretly resented her, her
attractions, the while they insisted
they “loved her."
CHRISTMAS
Is Coming!
Here Are Some Tri-Weekly
Journal Suggestions for Mak
ing Simple, Inexpensive Gifts
at Home.
To Hold Hairping
A hairpin box makes a simple
Christmas gift. A small tin can is
filled with wool and the top covered
with dotted net. The outside of the
can is covered with ribbon, the edges
trimmed with a narrow rose trim
ming. A pretty bow adds the finish
ing touch.
Practical Apron
An attractive and practical apron
is made of cretonne. composed
of a straight piece, the bottom of
which is turned up and furnishes
generous pockets. The top is shirred
together and a ribbon belt to match
finishes off the apron.
Winter Bouquets
I An unusual gift can be made from
i winter flowers. People appreciate
I so-called “winter bouquets” and they
! add a decorative touch to a room. For
I these, bouquets, sprays of bitter
-1 sweet, cat tails, teasel and milkweed
; with the pods, and some of the twigs
of berries that can be found, are
i used. These are as attractive when
: dried as they are when fresh.
Inexpensive Gift
! Small wooden coat hangers can
1 be purchased’ in almost any 10-cent
I store. These are covered with
i shirred satin of a dainty color. A
i tiny bow and flower adds a dainty
1 touch and make this an acceptable
■ gift to be used for the daintiest
i party frocks.
Attractive 1 , Cushions
Attractive cushions can be made of
' cretonne. They may be either long
or round. The round ones can be
' finished with a pleated ruffle and a
crocheted edge.
Boudoir Bag
J A lovely boudoir bag is made from
! two shades of satin ribbon about
1 1-2 inches wide. The strips of rib
i bon are joined together at the bottom
I forming a rose. At the top the bag
is held open by a wire hoop. A
! small ring covered with ribbon allows
■ one to hang the bag up.
Pinchushion as Gift
A pincushion is made of two shades
of satin ribbon about two inches wide
folded flat around the cushion. The
ends are hidden by shirred ribbon and
I the cushion is then trimmed with lit
tle ribbon roses.
liuncheon Sets
Very attractive luncheon sets can
be made of cretonne. Or the set may
be made of linen or other white ma
terial and have a rather narrow bor
der of cretonne.
Simple Dry Cleaner
One of the simplest and cheapest
dry cleaners is a piece of art gum.
It will clean kid gloves, dancing
slippers, pictufres, etc.

Walter Field Co.3w».
In talking with Helen Westfield
one became aware of something
sharp or bitter in her, something that
jarred with the dreamy «e.yes, the
sensuous mouth. She quoted Bernard
Shaw and -was a devotee of Ibsen.
She was on a wave of moral and
social rebellion. Yet she was full
of a certain sentiment,' a peculiar
softness entirely at variance with
one’s first impressions of her.
Helen had finished her simple din
ner. It had been a cold meal of
bread, ham, tea, and jam. She had
lighted the small table lamp with
its soft rose shade, and through the
open window the lights of the square
twinkled and streamed in to mingle
with its glow.
The janltress, sensing Helen’s love
of beauty, had bought bunch of
flowers from the cripple who each
day stood patiently at the corner.
They were in a vase upon the table.
Almost unconsciously Helen fingered
a leaf, delicately, as was her way.
At 11 o'clock she went to bed. But
long after every one in the apartment
house was asleep Helen was sitting
up in bed. wide awake, her knees
clasped in her arms, the window open
beside her.
The ’buses still rumbled through
the square, but more and more infre
quently as the night grew into pallid
morning. The lights, like fireflies,
twinkled .at her through the open
window. She shivered a little, drew
the covers up more closely about her,
then again embraced her knees. It
was an easy posture for thinking.
And now rested, Helen wanted to
think, to plan.
She was free! Absolutely free for
the first time in all her twenty-six
years. She had lived through pas
sion and insult; through wrong and
unhappiness; througn defilement tnat
had seared her very soul. She had
been no mere innocent sufferer; yet
now that she had life before her once
more both her heart and her senses
were hungry, starving for the some
thing that others had without effort
—so it seemed to her. Then, too,
she had her own self-respect to re
cover—and so she must forget.
"I will forget,” she said aloud as
she hugged her knees. “I will live
my own life—as I want to live it.”
She stretched out her hands in a
gesture of longing, then of com
pelling. She laughed aloud. It was
wonderful to be free! Wonderful!
In the square the noises had grown
dimmer; the silence of the early
morning hours that just before dawn
seemed so quiet brooded over the
place. Helen yawned, stretched her
arms once more toward the twinkling
lights of the square, then fell into
a deep, dreamless sleep.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Will yoy please print in The
Journal the address of some hair
firm that makes switches. I have a
lots of hair and would like to know
where I could get it made into a
switch.
APPIjE BLOSSOM.
APPLE BLOSSOM”
The S. A. Clayton Co., 18 East
Hunter street, Atlanta, make
switches of hair and wig's, make
over old switches, wigs, toupes,
doll wigs, puffs and curls. They
do good w’ork and I am sure you
will find them satisfactory.
Here comes another girl for ad
vice. I will be nineteen next De
cember. Am I old enough to love
the boys? I am in love with a boy.
He is fleshy, has blue eyes, black
hair; is the same age as myself. He
has written me several cards, and
on the card he would write, “I love
you.” He is mighty nice around
me. He comes every Sunday. Do
you really think he is in Ibve with
me? He will wink at me. What
does it mean for a boy to wink at a
girl? We go to school together.
There is a little girl at school who
claims him. She is twelve years old.
He doesn’t seem to care anything
for her only when I smile at another
boy. Do you think he loves her?
She is just crazy about him. Wha*
will I do to make him- love me and
quit loving the other girl? Journal,
please print this in the next paper
and answer all my questions.
BLUE-EYED SWEET GIRL.
Blue-Eyed Sweet Girl: You
are old enough not to have any
fcilly ideas about being jealous
of a twelve-year-old girl. You
are old enough to have young
men company. Probably the
fleshy man you speak of does
care for you, if he doesn’t mind,
the world knowing about it.
And to .put “I love you” on a
post-card invites the public to
take an' interest in his affairs.
The young man should have
placed the card in an envelope
and mailed it to you. It would
have been better taste. Winking
is a mighty poor way for a boy
to spend his time, and it is con
sidered very coarse; but some
times it is indulged in in a spirit
of mischief or fun. Be natural
and try to cultivate a sweet dis
position. Do not say “catty"
things about other girls to your
beau, and that in itself is
enough to win any man’s af
fection.
Will you please give me a little
advice? I have a real cute coat suit
and would "like to dye it black, and
it has fur on it and it cannot be re
moved. The suit is green and the
fur is gray] ike. Will you please
tell me in the next issue of The
Atlanta Trl-Weekly Journal if dye
ing the suit will harm the fur? And
will you also please give me a good
receipt for cream puffs? Thanking
you in advance and obliged,
Yours respectfully,
KITSIE.
Kitsie: I have it on good
authority that it will injure fur
to dye it along with a suit or
dress on which it is trimmed.
You would be taking a great
risk to dye the suit with the fur
on it. A recipe for cream puffs
which I consider very good is as
follows: One cup boiling water,
1-2 teaspoon salt, 1-3 cup butter.
1 1-2 cups flour, 4 eggs; whipped
cream or custard. Method:
Bring the water, salt and but
ter together to boiling point;
stir in the flour and cook till the
mixture leaves the sides of the
saucepan clean. When cooled,
add the eggs one at a time,
beating each one in thoroughly;
drop big tablespoonfuls some
distance apart on greased bak
ing pans, and bake half an hour
in a steady oven. When cold,
split and fill with sweetened
cream or thick custard.
Here comes two girls for advice,
age fourteen and fifteen.
I, fifteen, am in love with a young
man age eighteen. Are we old enough
to marry? If not how old should
we be? We are engaged to marry
Christmas I am a motherless and
fatherless girl and wish vou would
give me your best advice.
I, fourteen, am in love with a
young man twenty-one. We love each
other dearly and he has asked me
to marry him, but I refused. Did I
do right? TOM AND JACK.
TOM AND JACK
You are too young to think of
marrying just yet. Wait until
you are seventeen at least. Do
not burden the young man with
the problem of taking care of
two, or maybe more. Let him be
fair to himself. It costs a great

THE SiUMP IN COTTON
The situation is puzzling. Cotton
has slumped below 19 cents in our
market. Some of the farmers are
storing their cotton. Others are
oiling, because they think the slump
has not reached its lower level. To
those who are out of debt, except
the very heavy taxes, the slump has
not made they very unhappy. Those
who are in debt, or have bought
high-priced land on a credit, the
problem is more serious.
Lots of people have bought goods
at high prices on the instalment
plan. They must pay up or lose
what has been paid out.
Cartersville is on the Dixie high
way. The tourist travel is immense.
Conservative people tell me that
there are from seventy-five to a hun
dred cars loaded with tourists from
the northwest, who are making their
way to Florida to spend the winter,
an i who pass through our town.
Foodstuffs are no higher in Flor
ida than in Minnesota and Kansas.
They purchase a car. fit it up for
carrying anything they need for
comfort in eamp life, and they travel
as slow or as fast as they choose.
Many of them expect to get jobs in
Florida in handling winter vegeta
bles, packing oranges, working with
celery and buying more fresh fish
to eat than butcher meat. When I
find one of these cars at a standstill
I try to get up a chat with them,
and they seem glad to know that
strangers will give them a cheery
word and a welcome to Georgia. I
always learn considerably from ev
erybody that can give me informa
tion. I am the gainer.
One day last week there was a tour
ist car halted in front of our nice
postoffice. I had gone there to start
one of my latest books to far-off
North Carolina, and I had a chat with
the nice, trim little lady sitting in
her really fine car. Her husband
was hunting something in town —food
I guessed, and she told me they had
come from Detroit, Mich.
They had been on the road several
■weeks, and were on their way to St.
Petersburg, Fla. I inquired as to the
wear of tires, etc. She said they were
still using “Detroit air.’’ and had no
trouble with tires. The car was well
groomed, I could see.
She had bedding in the rear, and
also an oil stove for cooking, which
can be doubled up, somehow, and car-
in small package. On this stove
she could boil tea and coffee and
broil a steak or chop and bread could
be bought, fresh, on the main routes
They had a tent also doubled up, and
it had a floor. They slept in houses
in bad weather, of which there had
been very little this fall. Her hus
band expected to find employment in
Flbrida. The mild climate down
there and the high price of coal in
Michigan had induced them to make
the journey. They will utilize the
car, if housing is difficult in Flori
da. The husband came up, and we
also had a little chat on matters in
general. The campaign was on here,
and politics red hot. He said it was
the same way all along the road. The
country was tired of war, and want
ed peace, and did not want the Wil
son League of Nations.
They were middle-aged people, had
no children, and had spent a winter
in the south a year ago. It was a
real lark for the couple, and they are
so thrifty, snug and tidy, thar I al
most envied them the winter scenes
in Florida. So there is a perfect
flood of winter tourists packing into
the state of Florida. South Georgia
will get some of the overflow. lam
hoping that I can take a little trip
in the same direction in January or
February. I am so very busy, with
si much writing, that I may miss my
chance, as I did in the winter of 1919
and 1920.
How to Embroider
Gowns by Hand
A simple way to embroider a dress
by hand without making the em
broidery look bulky, is the follow
ing. The tissue paper with the pat
tern is stitched onto the material
and then with the regular needle and
foot on the sewing machine, followed
out carefully with good-sized stitches
the same color as the material. Whsa
the pattern is completed, colored sill
or metal thread is worked through
these stitches. This will give a cord
ed effect and an even outline.
deal for a couple to keep house
or board, and when “cares” come
to a young couple somehow they
haven’t the strength of charac
ter, or will power to dig them
selves out of the hole, but drift
into divorce courts, and all of
this might be avoided if young
people would only figure a little
ahead, and learn to “labor and
to wait.” Both of you girls have
life before you. and I am sure
it would be wisest to wait
awhile before marrying.

Dear Children: Surely this is Christmas weather, and Ido hope
you are well fixed for it and are enjoying the change.
You will hear people saying, “Isn’t it awful that we must have
winter,’’ and I want you to remember always that it is through
God’s 'wisdom that we have the different seasons. And you will
hear the people say; “My! I hate to see the leaves fall,” and you
just think how many leaves the trees have carried during the hot
summer months for your comfort and pleasure, and be glad that
the trees have this chance to rest. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Wonder
if I could be called a A. J. L. B. cousin?
Hope so anyway. I have been a silent
reader for a long while, but I was really
afraid to knock at your door as I am
sure by so many letters, Mr. W.
Basket knows the knock of every A. J.
L. B. cousin. But perhaps Aunt Julia will
stand by me for awhile as this is my
first visit. We will soon see anyway.
Cousins, heearing some of you mention be
ing lonesome, gee, yonu don’t know what
lonesome is until you try living where
I live. It surely is lonesome here. But
anyway I live in God’s own open coun
try. where the birds sing and there are
woods to roam in. But winter will soon
be here and most of the birds will fly
away. I wish it could be summer all the
time, for I know most of you cousins
will agree with me. in the summer the
country is fine. 1 love Aunt Julia for I
know she is a good lady for trying to
help those that cannot help themselves,
and I wish I could see her personally.
I hope some of you cousins will write
to me as I do get so lonesome sometimes,
as I live with my grandfather and grand
mother and they are both very old. I m
the only girl here. I’ll not tell you how
I look. I am just a little girl, almost
seventeen. I can say I am not good-look
ing. I want to hear from some of yon.
I’ll try to answer all I get but don’t
suppose it will be very many.
By by for awhile. Perhaps I’ll call
again some day. Much success to Aunt
Julia and all. Your friend,
BERTIE MAE SPIVEY.
Nicholls. Ga., R. No. 2, .Box 53.
Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins' I wonder
what you are doing today? I surely am hav
ing some fine time. Wish some of you
cousins wore down here with me. I live
in the dear old state of Florida on the World
famous Suwanee river. Do any of you boys
up north like to hunt and fish? I surely do
enjoy it. Our school closed some time ago.
Will be glad when it starts again. I won't
describe myself this time. I will just tell
ho wold I am—sixteen years old, and lielie •*
me. I am some good-looking lad. All you
girls write to me and I will try to answer
all. So long. Your cousin,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Would you
admit another Texas girl into your happy
band of boys and girls? i’ live in the oil
fields of Texas, my papa works in the oil
fields. I have to walk about a mile and a
half to school. Our school has been out two
weeks. My mother has about ’ seventy-five
or eighty little chickens. I sure do like to
water tl'iqni. I have four little sisters ami
two little brothers. I will describe myself
and go. Brown hair, fair complexion, about
4 feet 6 inches, am twelve years old. If
1 see this in print I will come again. Your
niece, ELSIE CROWE.
Dear Aunt Julia Here comes a Florida
girl. I have never seen a letter from this
part of the state. We have been taking The
Journal for a long time and I certainly do
enjoy reading Aunt Julia’s letter box. We
have a farm twenty-two miles from here
where we lived up until about a year ago,
when we moved to Frostproof, on account of
school. I's some of you girls will come to
see me we will go in bathing. Well, as I
am a stranger I will describe myself I
have light hair, blue eyes and fair com
plexion. am thirteen years of age ami will
be in the seventh grade at school when it
begins. Well, as this is tny first time to
write I will not take up much space. Your
new niece. ETHEL TILLIS.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please let me come in for a few minutes
this afternoon, as I will promise not to stay
long? What are you cousins doing for
pastime these lovely days? I guess you are
having a grand time. Auntie, I surely agree
with you about the cousins' letters getting
mere interesting, but 1 think if we would
try real hard we could do better than we
lu-ve. I am also in favor of adopting the
American child. Say, hew many of vo.i
c< usins like to go kodaking? I'm just wild
chcut it. If any of yon cousins want to cor
respond witli mo. just lot your letters fly. I
guess you cousins would like to know my
age. It Is between sixteen and twenty. To
the one who guesses my age I will my
photo. With love to one and nil.

Dear Aunt Julia: I am a little girl,
nine years of age. I live in a small town
and go to school. As 1 have a number of

to entertain them some during the long

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: This is my
fourth attempt to get iny letter printed, but
of course that is not Aunt Julia's fault.
Well, cousins, what do you do for pastime?
I don’t have much pastime, but I most
always read. Say. cousins, we take too
much space describing ourselves. I sure like
to read’ interesting letters. You soldier boys
and sailors write oftener, for we cousins
like to read your letters. Aunt Julia, I am
in favor of you adopting? an American ciuuL
Well, as I hear Aunt Julia's rules, I will
close this time. From

her trip to the Berry school, for I five

a perfectly beautiful place. I am planning

are wondering how I look. If you will
promise not to run, I will describe myself
and go. Here goes: Five feet four inches

ter be going, so cousins let your letters
and cards fly to INGRAM
Rome, Ga., Route No. 9.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Once more
I shall make an attempt to write to the
letter box, but an attempt will ■ be all, for
I shall make poor work of it. I read Ihe
.Journal and think it is a wonderful paper.
How many of the cousins love to read good
books? I do. for one, although I never get
much time to read, while going to school.

Organdie Flowers

Button-Hole Stitch
Makes Flat Finish
Ends of bands on baby garments
may be given a flat finish much
easier to launder, by leaving the
ends raw and finishing them with
a button-hole stitch. The old meth
od of folding in the ends often makes
a clumsy finish.
Sheet Music Hint
To keep the corners of sheet
music from becoming torn paste a
little strip of court plaster to the
corners of the music. The sheets
will not become ragged looking and
it will be easier to turn the pages.
