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. Talbott, Tenn. P. S.—l am enclosing a dime, it's for your use in a good cause. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please ad mit two South Carolina girls into your merry ring. We are in school today and having a fine time.

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.

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. Wadley, Ga. 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. CHARLES C. RYAN. New Site, Miss. 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. B. BEATY. 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 answered. JOHN G. EVANS. Johnsonville, S. C.

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 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. Chapted XX ADELE FOSTER had drifted to New York from a midwestern town, as do so many girls fff no particular talent, because she found the home confinement irk- 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. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1920.

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.

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.

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. Centenarian Dies ELIZABETH, N.
