Dumb Things"
RULES
No unsigned letters printed.
No letter written on both sides of paper printed.
All letters not s o exceed 150 to 200 words.
Dear Children: I am writing especially this time to ask the
cousin who failed to sign a name, but so generously sent a dollar
to our orphan, to send me his or her name. I don’t want to hide such
generosity. Let me know anyway, and if you still do not wish
your name published I will regard your wishes. You ask where to
send money to the Red Cross. If you will address your letter to
me. mark it on the outside PERSONAL, inclose a dollar for the
Red Cross, send you a receipt and your membership button.
Hope to have a nice honor roll for you the issue the following
our prize letters. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder
if all the ••peaches” have migrated north
ward. Haven’t received a letter from where
they grow in a coon s age, ha! But listen!
The “flowers” still bloom, especially around
Panama City, eh?
Say, cousins, what are you all doing as
the golden minutes ride by on their single
trip ticket? I am attempting to become a
writer. At least 1 received a card receently,
bearing the salutation “‘Dear Writer.” I
have been writing short stories for Sunday
school class papers and enjoy it very much.
"Help for the helpless” is a good motto.
Isn’t it, cousins? To extend the helping
hand brings a happiness and contentment
that will cheer the most weary hearts. Many
people miss happiness as tuey navel along
the highway of life admiring the gay colored
butterfly while the little bird with the
broken wing sends tortli its chirping appeal
for help—unnoticed. I like to help anyone
if it’s nothing more than a kind word, but
1' often fail in that which I should do and
then do Jhe very thing I shouldn’t.
Have reached the limit, so good-by unless
you would like to have the "thoughts” con
tinued in a personal letter. Your cousin and
friend. LUTHER HUFF.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please ad
mit two South Carolina girls into your

having a fine time. Our teache’s name is

We are in the eighth grade. We agree with

adopt and educate a little American child.
Well, I guess we had better close, but first
will give a description of ourselves. Carrie

complexion and about 5 feet and 8 inches.
Sara is thirteen years old, brown hair and

feet 5% inches. Some of you cousins write
to us. Your friends,

will you all let me in again? I wrote once
before. Wonder what you cousins are all
doing these days for pastime? I do a little
of everything that conies my way to do.
Etna Ennies, I have your birthday, but I am
older tthan you ate. Well, I won’t describe
myself. You would all laugh. You cousins
all write. I hope Mr. W B. won’t get this
one, but if he does I will try again. So come

write letters to each other. I, Evelyn,
have a dear correspondent in Georgia. Why
don’t you answer my letter, Addie Lee
Hardy? I have been looking for a letter
from you for quite awhile. Aunt Julia
said not to lengthen our letters to 200
words, so we will close now. If anyone

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: This
bright, beautiful afternoon finds me knock
ing for admittance to your happy band.
Aunt Julia, will you let me have my
say on this subject, "Friendship.” Aunt
Julia, I often wish to know you personally
and also a number of the members.
Thanksgiving day will soon be here. I
often think we are not as thankful as we
should be for the many blessings we en
joy. There is one thing in life we have
or could have, that many of us do not
appreciate as we should, and that is true
friends. I think friendship is one of the
sweet jst connections in life. Oh! how
much happier we are as we journey over
life’s pathway when we feel that we
can have some true friends who, in time
of trouble, are willing to lend a helping
hand. There is not a human heart on
earth that does not yearn and long for
the sympathy of others. The time to test
a friend is in the time of adversity and
not prosperity. True friendship must with
stand the shock of adversity before it
can be truly entitled to that name. A
MOTHER!

Dear Aunt Julia an dCousins: Will you
please make room for a Michigan girl in
your happy circle? First, I want Aunt Ju
lia to make sure Mr. W. B. is out, for I
have a long way to go and he sure would
catch me. Where does she live? Didn’t I
ihear some one whisper; Down on the farm;
nnd I sure like it fine.
I was in Detroit this summer for a couple
of weeks. I was over in Canada and had
a real good time. We live in the sugar
beet country. The principal crops are corn,
oats, wheat, and this is also a great dairy
country. I will not frighten you with a
description of myself; but I will say I am
a great lover of music. I play the piano.
I want you cousins to write to me and tell
me about the country as my folks would
like t< come south. I will close, hoping
the wastebasket don’t get this. Lovingly
MISS BEULAH MAY.'
Seneca, Mich.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Now won’t
some jf you cousins move over and give
me a seat by Aunt Julia? It has been
some time since 1 have written, but I have
been ta silent reader of the letter box and
enjoyed the many interesting letters from
the cousins; but best of all, the new story,
"Wilful Dtiija;” also the writings of Dor
othy Dx and Dr. Frank Crane.
How mi ny of you cousins like to read ? I
do. 1 am a regular book fiend. I have
read “Tempest and Sunshine,” “Ishmael,”
"Self-Raised,’’ "Inez,” "St. Elmo,” “The
Broken Wedding Ring,” end many others.
Guess I’d better not write too much about
books, but reading is a splendid habit, and
every one should read a few good books,
magazines and newspapers.
I am a passionate lover of nature. My
home is located on a little hill in the
country and is partly surrounded by pine
and oak trees. Guess I’d better go before
Mr. W. B. comes around. All of you cous
ins write to me. Love to Aunt Julia and
cousins. OPAL FARBER.

P. S. —-Inclosed find a dime for the Amer
ican child.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Do any of
you ever get "lonesome” or “blue?” I
hope not. But if you do please try taking
a stroll through the dense forests or open
fields, and observe very closely the many
beautiful and inspiring scenes and things
created by nature, and nature’s God. Lis
ten attentively for a few moments to the
sweet and warbling notes of the song
bird as it sits peacefully rocking and
singing in the top-most boughs of the giant
oak. Observe the clear, crystal-like brooks
and streams as they tumble swiftly or
flow smoothly onward toward the river or
sea. Stop “occasionally, draw yourself up
to your full heeight, and take in a long
deep breath of fresh air. As you continue
observe very closely everything that comes
in your way and when you return if you
are still lonely and “blue” (or if you are
not) try writing a few lines to a Missis
sippi lad of 18 summers. Will answer all
mail received. Good luck and best wishes
for Aunt Jniia and all the cousins.

Dear Aunt Julia and cousins: I want
to give some good helpful suggestions and
recipes for different things. 1. Never
go to bed with damp or cold feet. 2.
Never go where there is a contagious dis
eease with an empty stomach. 3. Soda
water is excellent for sick headache, when
caused by indigestion. 4. Seda and ginger
put in hot water and drunk freely is
excellent for bilious colic. 5. For neuralgic
headfiche squeeze the juice of a lemon in
a cup of black coffee and drink. 6. To
remove fruit stains from the table linen,
dip the spot in hot water, wet with
hartshorn, using one teaspoonful to a tea
cup of water. 7. To remove iron rust mix
salt with lemon juice, put in the hot sun.
and if necessary repeat. With all good
wishes.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cqusins: I have
been a silent reader of “Cousins’ Corner”
for quite a while, so now want some pne
to move over just a little and let me
in for just a few minutes. What do you
cousins do for amusement? I only have
a half day each week, so I hunt, fish, and
drive my car. I have a nice car that
“Dad” gave me when I finished in the
Massey business college. Well, as it is a
rule to describfe oneself I will and go. I
am five feet six inches high, have black
hair, blue eyes, and weigh 130 pounds,
am 20 years old. Who has my birthday,
February 19? I would appreciate hearing
from all you cousins. All letters will be

Chapter VIII
HILEN was not badly burned,
but the shock made her wil
ling to “play invalid,” as she
expressed it, for a few days
and be waited upon by Mrs. Cook,
and, at intervals, by the irrepress
ible Adele.
Lansing had been most attentive.
Flowers, books and magazines, each
accompanied by a short note, helped
pass the days which were neither
long nor tedious.
Helen had the bed placed where
she could see the Square and watch
the ’buses. She never seemed to tire
of the panorama. She thought a
good deal, too, those idle days. Not
unpleasant thoughts of the pa’.t. but
pleasant ones of the future. She vis
ioned herself in the years to come,
free, successful, living her own life.
If occsaionally Lansing crossed her
vision, she swept him aside lightly.
Helen had suffered in the years
before she came to New York, espe
cially in that last year before she
determined to carve-out her own
destiny. She dwelt in Gethsemane,
for she had lost her faith. She never
had been even remotely religious,
yet she had always had an abiding
faith in her fellows, in the.r integ
rity. That faith had been forever
shattered by one who should have
held it sacred. When the awaken
ing came she did not grieve for him
—the man—but for ner lost faith.
Even poverty, the need of suppor
ing herself, seemed not to touch her
at all. The loss of friends was as
nothing, because of this other that
had seared her very soul and left
her stranded, her ideals gone.
Adele Foster was not by any
means the best sort of a companion
for Helen in the mood she was in—
in her attitude toward the world
and people.
“I wouldn’t trust a man as far as
I could reach,” she said to Helen
as she sat on the window ledge and
had commenced to air her views.
“They’re all humbugs. In the first
place, we know nothing at all ab-’Jt
them —just what they tell us, that’s
all. And do you think for one min
ute they tell us the truth? I don’t.”
Helen smiled her infinitely wise
smile. Adele amused her immense
ly. She was so young and so cyn
ical.
“You see, Helen, if I had trusted
men I would be in the river by now.
When you have to earn your own
living you learn quickly, you know.
One has to.”
“I dare say you are right,” Helen
returned languidly, “but where did
you learn it?”
"Right here in New York. The
greatest little school on earth. There
isn’t anything you want to know
that you can’t learn here.”
Helen laughed but later, when she
was alone, she thought of what
Adele had said and —wondered if she
were right.
Lansing drifted back to the studio
as soon as Helen was again around.
He came, as before, toward the end
of the afternoon when twilight was
deepening into darkness and the
Square twinkled a welcome.
He took Helen’s hand with eager
directness. If it occurred to him
that she might not I as glad to
see him as he was to see her he
gave no hint of it in his greeting.
“I did not expect to see any one
tonight,” Helen said in a sort of
apology for her dress, a worknig
smock.
“I couldn’t stay away. You see,
I like you—and I really like so few
people. You like me a little —per-
haps. Did you not, you would not
receive me. If I bore you send me
away.”
Helen looked at hh- with shrewd
eyes th,.t held the knowledge of ter
rible things.
“You wonder about me—what I
am after,” he said with perfect sang
froid. "If I tell you the truth yuu
will never believe me. because truth
is the hardest thine- in the world
to recognize when we see it.”
“No —I am through with wonder.”
“Do you know,” said Lans.ng
gravely, ‘you’re rather a dear, and
still I have a feeling that you are
full, chock full, of this world’s wis
dom.” Then, after a moment. “Who
taught you?”
Just for a moment a shade of
something very like fear looked out
of her gray eyes. Then she laughed.
She raised her eyes to his wi*h that
directness that made up much of her
charm.
“No one,” she answered, “unless
observation may be called a teache.’.”
She was not to be caught by him ns
she had been by Ade e
She had spoken with a sort of
gentle intimacy, yet Lansing felt
that she was hiding behind the
words.
“You have observed, then?
“Who hasn’t, and—profited?” The
faintest of smiles lighted her gray
eyes and curved her soft, red lips as
she turned slightly away.
Lansing flushed darkly. This girl
—this woman —affected him strange
ly. It was as if her real self were
hidden behind some impenetrable
mystery. Yet it could be nothing to
her discredit.

THE COUNTRY HOME
CONDUCTED BY MRS.W.H.FELTON
ATXiANTA JOURNAL PICTURES
Those of our Country Home readers
who fail to see the wonderful pages
devoted to pictures and called the
Rotogravure Section, certainly miss
a great treat. I look toward to these
Sunday pictures with interest. There
are always eight pages, and while a
few of them are “ad” pictures the
others are devoted to people and
landscapes, to great processions, and
palatial residences, and all sorts of
interesting things that one does not
see in any newspaper elsewhere,
that comes to my house. These pic
tures are part and parcel with The
Sunday Atlanta Journal. I am too
ancient to care much for the funny
papers, but I am always pleased to
scan the Rotogravure Section.
I am not informed as to the ex
pense incurred by the enterprising
managers of The Atlanta Journal to
supply such finely finished pictures
to its readers, but it is obliged to be
very considerable. Not one of them
should be thrown in the waste bas
ket or destroyed.
Those who do not care to preserve
them for their own keeping should
send or give them to young folks who
are not able to subscribe but do en
joy the pictures. It makes me glad
when I can give a lot of such news
papers to the mountain boys who
come down from the hills with wag
onloads of apples or cabbages, and
whose fathers so into the houses
with samples of their produce and
the boys sit in front to hold the lines
over the mules, or as it happens very
often, a stalwart pair of oxen. It is
an easy thintr to do to give away
such delightful Picture papers, and
the children will never forget the
kindness. It costs but little, but is
valuable.
Tn reading the magazine section of
the last Sunday Atlanta Journal I
fell upon a detailed account of the
last of these midgets who created
such a sensation in this country
more than forty years ago.
The great showman, P. T. Bar-
I some. Her father was a farmer on
I a small scale, they had little mone. . I
jso few pleasures for their children.
Her mother, an over-worked, over
tired weman, resented Adele’s dis- j
. like to the drudgery which had been
her life and the friction between
them increased as Adele grew older.
There were other children, too, a
boy and two more girls, different in
every way from Adele, who always
had been the beauty of the family
and who was supposed to be talent
ed. At least she had always loved
to draw and, as she giew older, she
bough'- cheap paints and painted hid- I
ecus flowers on scraps of velvet and
cecorated plaques with grotesque
copies of magazine pictures.
“She has talent,” a summer visitor
to one of their neighbors said when
cne day they stopped at the Foster
feim for fresh eggs. The woman who j
made the remark did it to please. ,
Adele was on the porch painting a
green and yellow atrocity of some
sort and out of the kindness of her
heart the visitor had flattered.
It was her remark that sowed the
seed of unbearable discontent in
Adele Foster’s heart and which later
sent her to New York.
She was seventeen then. She had j
lived in New Yore three years when
Helen Westfield met her.
She had found no use for talent j
such as she possessed, although she
had never given up the idea that
some day she would be an artist. But
a position in a lingerie shop had pro- I
vided her with the means to buy
pajnts and pay her way while ex
perimenting.
The shop where Adele reported dai
ly for work was a small, interesting
place, patronized by people of wealth.
Occisi- nally a man would wander in,
usually to purchase silk stockings
or fancy neckwear as a gift to w’fe
c-r sweetheart.
Adele had been quie t to learn.
When such customers appeared she
spoke to them with a sort of gentle
intimacy behind which an understand
ing smile seemed to lurk. One or two
acquaintances she had made in this
way with men who occasionally asked '
her out to dinner and whom she in
’ ariably informed that she was a
good girl—just liked a nice time with
a jolly companion once in a while.
Meaning one who bought her a good
dinner and afterward tcok her to
a show or to dance on some roof gar
den.
Adele bad bobbed her hair. She
wore smocks when in her little one
room apartment which she dubbed “a
studio.” She smoked innumerable .
cigarettes and talked of free love in
the most careless sort of way. But ;
woe to the man who tried to take
advantage of her free manners or i
speech. She possessed a sharp tongue |
and, conscious of her own rectitude,
would brook no suspicion.
Helen Westfield, with her keen i>»
sight, her experience, had understood
this from the first and had accepted
Adele at her own valuation. The girl
asked her no questions; never looked
beyond the moment. In away she
satisfied Helen’s desire for compan
ionship, the companionship of some
one of her own sex.
She prated to Helen of the things
she would do when she had sold a
picture. She would give up her job at
the lingerie shop and devote all her
time to art —art with a capital A.
Helen-only smiled. Sne knew there
was no danger that a picture would
be sold, so, unlike most women, she
didn’t argue the foolishness of giv
ing up work that provided a living.
Once Adele remarked to Helen:
“Os course a girl needn’t work so
hard in New York if she doesn’t want,
to. But she’s a fool. But there’s one
thing a girl who works can’t afford.
■ Not a good girl.”
“What’s that, Adele?” Helen was al
ways quietly amused at Adele’s phil
osophy. j
“She can’t afford any passionate,
upsetting friendships. They take too
much out of one. A good-night kiss —
yes, perhaps, if the fellow is awfully
nice. But that’s all. You see a girl
dasn’t let herself get fond of the
kind of men she likes to go out with
occasionally. They wouldn’t marry
her and then she’d be tnhappy.”
“Why not go with the kind that
would marry you—what you call
your ‘own kind'?” Helen asked, smil
ing.
“That’s the queer thing New York
does to girls. I guess all big cities
are alike. You see this other kind.
You know they can’t be anything to
you, yet they make your own kind
seem cheap and common. Anyw; y, I
don’t want to get married. I’ve seen !
too many try it and get disappoint
ed.”
“One would think you were a Me
thuselah to hear you talk.” Some
thing very like a look of pain had
crossed Helen’s face st Adele’s care
less words, Adele had seen it, and —
wondeied.
“I’ve lived in New York for ovei
three years. I know several girls
who have married. Most of them are
divorced now.”
“Did they marry in their own
class?”
“No. Do ycu suppose, Helen, they
would have been happier if they
had?”
(To Be Continued.)
num, exploited General, Tom Thumb
and his wife and made thousands of
dollars thereby. When they came to
Washington, D. C., in the ’7os they
were in their very prime.
As Hon. A. H. Stephens was a crip
ple, the midgets visited him in his
parlor. We boarded in the same hotel.
I had a little delicate boy, about
seven or eight years old, who rarely
went in crowded places. Mr. Stephens
sent for us to go to his parlors and
see General and Mrs. Tom Thumb. It
was a sight to remember, and we ah
were delighted, from the aged states
man to the little boy. The little boy
was much taller than either of them,
though they were full grown man
and woman. She was thirty years old
when I saw her and he was several
years her senior. They lived at home
like real folks when they were not
traveling. They ha'd little furni
ture, little everything to suit their
size or necessities.
They had the handsomest little car
riage I ever saw, a pair of beauti
fully matched ponies of light brown
color, and they traveled the big
streets in perfect safety, drawing
hundreds of interested people along
with them.
They dressed in the height of style,
the finest of clothes and adornments
Their whole outfit was superb. They
were both native Americans, were
married in 1863, during the Civil
war, had a magnificent church wed
ding in New York City. I shook hands
with the tiny pair when I left the
room, and how long they remained
with the Georgia statesman I do not
recollect. They were perfect in shape
and only lacked size. They seemed to
be entirely pleased with each other.
Tom Thumb died in 1885, less than
ten years later. The widow married
an Italian midget called Count
Mayri. She died two years ago, quite
an old lady.
I saw another midget less than
two feet high. She was born in South
America. She was duller in mind,
but most remarkable.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
i I am coming to you for some ad
• vice. I have three songs which I
would like to have music added.
' Several music writers tell me these
| songs would make a big hit for
[ the next few years. They are my
best ones. I am unable to have the
l work done now and would like to
i have it done while these kind of
I songs are in the biggest demand. I
j have thought I would ask some one
; to furnish the money to finish them
! and give them half of the sale price.
I can have one alone finished for S2B
ior the thre for S3B each. A friend
of mine was going to furnish the
i money, but she died before I had
■ them ready and so I have not asked
any one else to help me yet.
j Please advise me through The
Journal what you think best. Will
you please give this your attention
as early as you possibly can with
out delaying onyone else, for I am
the mother of five small children
and need your advice on this mat
ter. Thanking you in advance.
FROM S. CAR.
There are many advertise
ments in the local papers about
i learning to be a “song writer,”
but I think tljey are money mak
ing schemes. And it wouldn’t
be wise to send your songs in
that manner for you might not
hear anything more from them.
You would be the loser. But you
might write to “Manager of Song
Department Cable Piano Co.,
, Broad street, Atlanta, Ga*, and
ask their advice. Tell ' them
what you have to offev. Send
stamped envelope for reply.
I have seen so many of your ad
vices, I want to ask you a few ques
tions. Is a girl fifteen years old too
young to wear high heel shoes? And
how long should she wear her
dresses? What will prevent blacfc
heads?
Your advice through The Journal
will be appreciated.
ETHEL C.
A young girl of fifteen is not
| too young to wear high heel
i shoes. But, from a point of
health, the low heels are better.
So many of the young girls in
society now are wearing low
heel shoes and slippers alto
gether. At evening affairs they
have the flat-heeled slippers, as
well as for street, or for sport.
I have written an article on how
to treat the face for blackheads
which will appear immediately.
Young girls are wearing their
dresses about the middle part of
the leg. Dresses for young and
old are shorter from the ground
this season.
We are two sisters coming to you
for advice, one 16 years of age and
one 18. I, the 16, is there any harm
in boy turning the back of his chair
toward the front of yours when he
:is talking to you? I, the 18: is there
any harm in a boy getting your ring
and keeping it for a long time?
Please answer in the next Journal.

No Radical Changes
Will Be Confronted
In New Spring Styles
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 27.—The
semi-annual meeting of the National
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers’
session here today was attended by
more than 300 delegates who dis
cussed the new fashions for spring as
displayed by living models at the
style show this afternoon.
No very radical changes are shown
from the lines of fall and winter gar
ments. Skirts continue short and
straight. The slender silhouette pre
dominates and the youthful spirit
was expressed in many garments
shown.
“Individuality is the keynote of
early spring apparel,” said Philip
Frankel, executive secretary of the
association. “Every woman will
have opportunity to express her own
personality through selection of the
variety of models offered by the
for 1921.”
A wide choice in suits was dis
played in straight, boxy jackets and
closer fitting suit coats with ripples
at the sides and flat, hanging panels
front and back. Eton and bolero
models give new effects with scal
lops, uneven hems and coat edges.
Tailored suits with and without belts
are cut severely slender.
Skirts are short with a suggestion
of more fullness in some cases with
panels, tunics, hem trimmings and
pleatings.
Wrappy coats and capes will be
generally worn, slender shoulders
marking both in soft and delicate
fabrics.
Trimmings include beading and
braiding, pecot edgings and a new
floss embroidery.
Thanking you for your advice, two
LIVELY SISTERS.
It is impolite for one person
to turn the back of his chair
to another person when in com
pany, especially unless asking
permission to do so. And to sit
astride a chair and lean on its
back is very impolite. A girl’s
home is not like a public place
such as a grocery store or town
hall. When young men call to
see the ladies, they should bring
to the surface all the good man
ners whether taught or instinct
ive, of which they are capable.
Lending one’s jewelry is not al
ways safe and a gentleman
should feel a hesitancy about
taking a girl’s ring. For if it is
a keepsake from some departed
loved one, and he should lose it,
he will never be able to replace
it for the value of sentiment
placed upon it.
I am coming to you for advice. I
never miss reading your advices to
the lonely girls. Those columns
don’t only help single girls, but mar
ried people also. Hubby and I also
read them. We have been married
two years and have a sweet little
baby boy to bless our home. Now
for help. I wish you would kindly
tell me what to do for my hair, as
it is all coming out. It seems dead
and dry and is split at the ends and
splits up near my head. I have some
dandruff. Please tell me what to
do for it and where to get applica
tion. Also where I can get rooted
evergreens for making hedges.
Awaiting your reply.
ASHLAND, GA.
A very satisfactory, and at
the same time, simple method of
treating hair which has become
dry and split, is as follows:
Loosen the hair, shake out well,
sit down before a mirror, with
a bottle of pure vaseline, dip the
tips of fingers of both hands
in salve and apply to roots of
hair, rubbing with a circular
motion from the top of the fore
head to nape of neck. This loos
ens scalp, gets the blood to cir
culating. Keep up this treat
ment for half an hour. Get a
coarse towel, and rub all the
grease you possibly can from the
hair. Do this every other day
for a week, then wash the hair,
be sure to get out all soap (use
pure castile soap). For split
hair: Separate hair, as if you
are going t 0 roll it up on curl
papers. Roll, beginning at tip
end, each part, one at time, light
a match and burn a fraction of
a second the ends. This is a very
difficult thing to do, and care
must be used. It is called singe
ing. which stops the ends from
splitting. Brush hair well each
day and let it hang loose tor an
hour or two. Wash once a month.
Write to the Ashford Nursery
Co., Peachtree road, Chamblee,
Ga. I am sure you can get root
ed evergreens there. They sell
all kinds of trees and shrub
bery.
CHRISTMAS
Is Coming!
Here Are Some Tri-Weekly
Journal Suggestions for Mak
ing Simple, Inexpensive Gifts
at Home.
Light Screen
A novel and attractive gift is a sil
houette light screen. Select a wire
frame and cover it with colored silk.
Cut out pictures from magazines that
would make good silhouttes and glue
them on the silk. Cover with geor
gette.
For Dainty Frock
A pretty party dress ornament can
be made from ribbon and ribbon flow
ers. Cover a circle of wire with rib
bon of the shade desired and sew
little flowers on it. These flowers
have five petals made of narrow ribs
bon. The center is made of French
knots of yellow silk. Loops and ends
of baby ribbon add the finishing
touch.
For School Books
For the youngsters who are going
to school, a bag for books would
make a nice Christmas remembrance..
Take an ordinary twine school bag
and line it with sateen or cretonne.
Figures of two Dutch children or
animals such as ducks make an ef
fective decoration. These can be cut
out of flannel. The top of the bag
may be trimmed with colored wooden
beads.
Japanese Pincushion
A Japanese doll pincushion would
be a welcome present to a little girl.
The doll may be any desired size.
Cover the front and the back of the
doll with a strip of ribbon, and fringe
it at the bottom. The front and back
are stitched together at the sides.
Kimono sleeves and sash are made of
narrow double ribbon. The doll
hangs by a narrow ribbon fastened to
the back.
For the Young Girl
Pretty party bags will be an ap
preciated gift to the young girl. An
attractive bag is made of two
squares of taffeta, any desired size.
The upper square has a band of gold
or silver lace around the outer edge.
An opening is made by cutting four
straight lines from the center to the
edges in the upper square. Crossed
straps of ribbon are attached to this
opening, forming the handles. An
edging of rosebuds finishes off the
opening while tiny flowers decorate
the bag at the corners.

' 7 sTrANGE HOW ~
WOMEN SUFFER”
Says Tennessee Lady, and
Will Just Go Suffering,
She Says, When Cardui
Is Right at Hand
Caryville, Tenn.—Hoping her ex-,
perience may benefit others who suf
fer from disorders common among
women, Mrs. Charles Rains, of thia
(Campbell) county, says: “I had
womanly troubles till I couldn’t rest,
couldn’t sleep, and was nervous and
suffered a great deal of pain in my
head, limbs and back. I would get
to the place where I couldn’t move
without a great effort.
“For years I had known of Car
dui, and it is strange how a woman
will just go on suffering when the
best remedy in the world is right at
hand—but we do!
“But finally the pain was worse,
my suffering so great I knew I must
do something. A friend mentioned
Cardui and we sent for it. One bot
tle helped me.
“I took a course of Cardui, re
gained my strength, built myself up
and felt like a new woman.
“Can I recommend Cardui? Yes*
and gladly, for it is a God-send to
suffering womeii. I hope when they
suffer with troubles common to
women they don’t wait, but get till*
sure remedy at once.”
