No unsigned letters printed.
No letter written on both sides of paper printed.
All letters not s o exceed 150 to 200 words.
Dear Aunt Julia: Will you please admit
a new Mississippi girl into your happy cir
cle of boys and girls? I have been a silent
reader for, a good while, and have very
often thought of writing, but as I was a
little bashful I always left the spaee for
a more gifted writer than myself. What
are all you cousins doing these pretty days?
Fixing for Thanksgiving, though. I guess.
How many of you are going to have a big
fat turkey for Thanksgiving? I will not
describe myself this time, as I may scare
some of you cousins. Well, as Aunt Julia
bids us to be brief, I, will leave space for a
more intelligent writer. So, Aunt Julia,
please print this while Mr. Wastebasket m
at the cane mill drinking juice. Would be
glad to receive letters fri>m all of you
cousins. Will answer all cards and letters
received. By, by, cousins. Your new cousin,
GERTRUDE JONES.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Tap! tap!
tap! Aunt Julia, please open the door and
let me in for a while. I will not stay long
if you will give me a seat by Luther Huff.
Say, Mr. Huff, your letters are fine, or they
Were in the last copy of The Journal I saw.
It has been a long time since I saw a copy
of the “good old Journal.’’ Won’t some
of you dear old cousins send It to me? I
sure would appreciate it very much, as 1
am in school and miss the paper very much.
Hello, kids! If you will listen I will tell
you all something about the Wingate High
school. Well, it is a nice place to be, a
real nice school. We have about 250 pupils
in school; 130 are boarding students. We
sure do have some time when they suspend
the rules. I wish some of you cousins could
be with us some time when the rules are
off. You, too, Aunt Julia. I have not for
gotten you yet. Cousins, don’t you think
Aunt Julia is a dear lady? I do if no one
else does. Listen! How many of you remember
me? I am an old cousin. I wrote to the
Letter Box about a year ago, but every one
of you have forgotten me—now, haven’t
you? Well, I have not forgotten some of the
good old cousins who used to write to me.
I wish some of you cousins could meet my
roommate. She is as cute as she can be.
She has auburn hair, blue eyes, fair com
plexion, is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs
about 135 pounds. Her name is Katie Mc-
Cormick, from Laurinburg, N. C. We are
both from the same place, but did not know
each other until we came up here.' I will
close, hoping to hear from some of you
cousins. Gcod-by.

Wingate, N. C., Box 21.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit a little girl from the dear old state
of Georgia into your happy bady? I go
to school at Smithville High school and am
in the sixth grade. As it is the rule to
describe oneself I will. I am 5 feet 2
inches tall, have hazel eyes and fair com

for this time. I will not describe myself
this time. From an old cousin.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you

Why here is Aunt Julia meeting me
with a smile. What are you all doing these
cool days? Oh, I’ve been gathering pecans.
Cousins, come help me, will you? Just

Just thought I’d stop in and tell you I
received over five hundred letters in four
days from the cousins. Luther Huff, wake
up. Did that beat you? Wiil tell you my
age which is seventeen winters. Now blush.
Auntie, will mail you a box of pecans
if you will accept them. Have two hun

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: With your
permission I would like to write a few lines
to your delightful .page. Have been an in
terested reader of your page for some time,
and can truly say that I have derived both
pleasure and benefit therefrom. How many
of you enjoy reading? I am a regular book

I am fond of outdoor sports and everything
that goes to make life happier. Life is just
about what we make it anyway. Don’t you
thing? Therefore it behooves us to be cheer
ful and ever ready to look on the bright
side. I am somewhat optimistic you see.
Aunt Julia, I think you are a noble, gener

opportunity of writing a few lines to the
page you edit. I shall not describe myself,
nut will let you cousins guess my age, which
is between eighteen and twenty-two years.

are you all this beautiful rainy afternoon?
I surely do enjoy seing the rain, because it

CHAPTER X
IT was hard for Helen to keen her
cynical views regarding life to
herself, but she was possessed
of a peculiar feeling of responsi
bility as regarded Adele, so much
younger, yet in many ways more
sophisticated, who had been able to
live alone, yet because of her natural
probity had been able to live so
that she had nothing to hide; Adele,
who talked of her “affairs” with per
fect frankness, because she had done
nothing of which she was ashamed.
Adele sketched in a jumpy sort of
way her life at home on the farm,
her dissatisfaction with life in the
country, her disagreement with her
mother because of it. She said little
of the first few months after shfe
qame to New York. But Helen, could
read between the lines and admired
her friend for her bravery. She had
little money, 4o friends—and a false
idea of her own ability. Yet she
had come through clean.
Back of the sordidness of Adele’s
story had been something else. The
sturdy goodness, the unquestioned
morality of her farming ancestors.
Church, Sabbath school, the minister,
all had figured in the story as she
told is. It had been inbred in her
very existence that to disobey the
Ten Commandments was to sin be
yond all forgiveness—
“ She has learned life without be
ing herself despoiled,” Helen said
bitterly, after Adele Jiad left her.
“She has nothing to regret.” A med
itative look crept into Helen’s eyes,
a look that was both hungry and
hard.
It was this look of hunger about
her mouth, in her eyes, that Lansing
had caught and that had puzzled him.
She was still young, yet her strange
ly unsatisfied eyes gave her a touch
of even greater maturity than be
longed to her. Often with him she
had also an air of disdain. He had
noted it especially when some man
was being discussed. It was as if
she believed nothing fine could
emanate from the sex.
Adele also had noted the look and
she too had been curious. But part
of her religion, as she told Helen,
was minding her own business and
expecting other people to mind theirs.
So. she said nothing.
Helen was not successful with her
next story. It came back promptly
with a note from the editor, asking
her to make certain changes, then
try him again.
Her surprise was perhaps greater
than her disappointment, although her
money was again getting low. But
her belief that the world owed her
a living was not disturbed, so she
threw tht story aside impatiently,
saying to Adele;
“I hate to change it! I hate to do
my work over. I am interested at
first, but when I attempt to follow
suggestions I invariably make a mess
of things.”
“Don’t change it, then. Send it to
some one else.”
“I will.”
In a day or two Helen received a
letter from the editor of the popular
magazine to whom she had sent the
story.
“Will you please call at your earli
est convenience?”
Wondering, Helen complied.
“Your story interested me greatly.
I imagine it is a true story. You
are a Californian, are you not?”
“I have been in Califorhia.”
The last thing in the world Helen
wanted to do was to talk of Cali
fornia. The editor sensed it, but, as
he was an enthusiast about the state,
he continued to talk of its beauties.
Finally he said:
“No one but one familiar with
California could have written this
story.” He went on then and pointed
out passages she had not realized
told so plainly her familiarity with
the country and the habits and cus
toms of its people. “If you will re
write the passages I have marked,
leaving the rest of the story as it
is, I shall be glad to take it,” he
told her, then asked her address,
before she left.
Could, he have seen Helen when she
reached her room he would have
been amazed. She took the manu
script from its envelope, tore it into
tiny bits. Then she burned the frag
ments.
“I must be careful! Some one
might have read that story and—
known. They might have found me.”
she muttered, as she watched the
blaze.
Then she sat down and commenced
another story, an imaginative yarn
that had been floating in her brain
for days. When she tired she wrote
the kind editor a note.
“I have had an accident with the
story, so cannot return it to you, as
I kept no copy,” was all she said.
But Mortimer Kellogg, the young,
ambitious editor of the magazine, had
been interested in Helen—in het
beauty as well as in her work. He
had her address. He would avail him
self of it to call upon her.
“She has lived,” he had mused after
she left his office. “That woman has
a story. It is in her eyes.”
Then and there he had determined
to follow up the acquaintance. He
was a bachelor, alone in New York.
She called herself “Miss.”
Chapter XI.
a DELE and Helen were sipping
/\ tea in Helen’s apartment.
/"X Adele remarked, apropos of
nothing:
“There’s no use being friends with
a married man, because it can .<•
to anything. I’d hate to take an
other woman’s leavings, and that’s
what it amounts to if you get him
at all —it is simply because the. other
woman, his wife, is through.”
Helen came up from the depths.
“It all sounds terribly risque and
—well, complicated. I take it you
have at some time known a married
man.”
“I have, several,” Adele replied in
her downright way. “Good, bad, and
indifferent. But there was one”-®
she hesitated as she gazed dreamily
into her cup.
“There always is—isn’t there?”
Helen asked.
“Yes —I guess so.” Her blue eyes
clouded, then smiled at Helen. “He
was from California.” An almost im
perceptible start from Helen passed
evidently unnoticed. “He was ter
ribly good-looking. He and his wife
hadn’t hit it off very well, weren’t
congenial—same old stuff, you know.
He was dreadfully keen for me. I
mean he pretended to be. Perhaps
he was honest. I don’t know. He
was tied to one woman. That was
enough for me. I never believed in
partnerships, anyway.”
“How long have you known him?”
Helen made her question careless be
cause of the smile that accompanied
It.
“I met him three, years ago. He
was in New York for about six
months. Five of the six he chased
me. I don’t know what he did
the rest of his time. I told him there
was nothing doing, although he pre
tended if I would encourage him he
would get a divorce from the woman
who didn’t understand him. Say,
Helen, why in heaven’s name don’t
men think up something new? If I
were a man I’d tell women something
original, even if I had to say she un
derstood me too well. What will you
bet that isn’t the trouble, anyway?
Some women are pretty clever, you
know.”
“I dare say you are right. Men
are pretty much alike the world over.
I guess.”
“Say, Helen, why is it> all really
nice men, men you like, are mar
ried?”
“You have answered your own
question, Adele. Because they are
nice.” Then: “But you’d better stick
to the single ones. Warmed over af
fections can’t, possibly be as interest
ing as fresh ones.” Adele smiled.
She could not understand that Helen
had reason to know, because she
knew noth’n'g of Helen—really.
A ring at the door bell interrupted
them. Adele flew to answer it.
“May I come in and have some
tea, or am I too late?” Kirk Lansing
asked, stepping into the room.
“I’ll make some more,” Adele said
blithely. This is cold. Helen and I
have been discussing men and it
cooled the tea.”
“How recklessly pretty she is,”
Lansing said to Helen in an aside, as
Adele bustled about the tea things.
“She is pretty, but far from the
reckless creature she seems,” Helen
replied. “She has some of the quaint
est ideas. Hei’ philosophy of life is
a little mixed, but she runs straight
always. She couldn't help it because
she is good.”
Lansing smiled at Helen’s earnest
ness. Her simple frock revealed un
grudgingly the beauty of her throat
and a glimpse of delicate white skin
where it ’ as cut square in the front.
He leaned toward her, took her two
hands in his, and held them with a
firm grip.
Slowly she drew them away. No
blush mantled her cheek. It was as
if she were accustomed to his hold
ing her hands. He couldn’t help won
dering a bit. There was nothing for
ward, nothing at all common in
Helen, or in her manner. It was more
as if she had erected a fence about
herself, her emotions. That it had
cost her a certain amount to so shield
herself, he could not, of course, know.
But that she was coldly unresponsive
to anything at all like love-making
he had been given proof.
Once Lansing had said to Helen:
“No pure-minded girl should ever
ask to know what happened before
she came upon the scene.” They had
been discussing a story in a popular
magazine. “When a man has done
wrong, the thing he has to do is to
keep still about it. It is the woman’s
secret, isnt’ it? If he is a man he
never will reveal it to any one, never
under any circumstances.”
He had been surprised at the look
in Helen’«t face; something like re
lief from a strain—as if a promise
had been given that meant much to
her. The look was gone in a moment,
but the memory of it remained.
She was always surprising him by
some mood. But her growing in
timacy with Adele gave him slight
opportunity of seeing her alone. As
he felt her firm withdrawal of her
hands, noted the calm, undisturbed
expression, he thought: “A woman oi
ice! Yes—her eyes belie her.”
“I’m falling madly in love with
her,” he said to himself as he sipped
his tea, and Adele chattered unceas
ingly. “I wonder—yet I know it can
be nothing to her discredit. A disap
pointment, perhaps broken promises,
that has embittered her.’

MARY MEREDITH’SADVICE -
I TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Will you kindly give me the ad
dress of the dolls’ hospital in At
lanta? I have been told there was
one there. I have two Jointed dolls
I am very anxious to have fixed. I
am sending an envelope for reply.
Will thank you many times for any
Information you can give me.

Now that Santa Claus will soon
be here I know of a splendid
shop, run by a Mrs. J. Grass,
227 Arcade building, second
floor, Atlanta, Ga., where dollies
of every description and size can
be restrung and repaired. Also
one can buy doll’s shoes and
stockings and wigs at this shop.
Work done promptly and very
satisfactorily.
Dear Miss Meredith: I have writ
ten you twice before but have never
seen either one in print. Will you
please answer these questions for
me? 1. What will take blackheads
and pimples off the face? How can
a girl win a boy’s confidence? I am
eighteen years old and have been
going with a young man twenty for
about two Aionths. I love him dearly,
but he has never told me he loves
me, but comes to see me every chance
he has and that is not often, as he
is now in school a good ways from
home. He never breaks a date and
writes to me real often. Do you
think he loves me? I will appreciate
it very much if you will answer
these questions for me. Please sign
my initials. H. R. M’D.
I am sending a letter to the
readers of this column on how to
remove blackheads and the prop
er treatment of the face. I am
sure the young man must care
a great deal for you. Be sweet
and charitable and sincere. Let
the womanly qualities endowed
you by nature, come to the sur
face, for men love sweet, sincere
women, who are free from cat
tishness. Such a woman inspires
confidence, especially when she
controls her tongue.
Would you be so kind as to give
me, information pertaining to the
Salvation Army? I am so anxious
to know. Do they have any rules
as to how old a girl should be, or
if they have to have a good educa
tion? Will thank you so much if
you can help me. I am a country
girl.
Sincerely,
CLIMMIE.

good advice. Should a girl open a
package, such as candy or birthday
present in the presence of the giver,
if he be a young man, or should she
wait till he goes. Please advise me.
Also is a girl of twenty years old
enough to go with a boy her father

Your kindness will be appreciated.

It is perfectly proper to open
a birthday package In the pres
ence of the giver. If the present
happens to be candy, and you
do not wish to open it, you may
say: “I do not wish to open this
lovely box of can'dy just yet.
I want to keep it a few days,
' lust to get real joy out of pos
sessing it. And when I do open
it I shall certainly think of the
giver for remembering me so
kindly.” A girl of ttventy years
is old enough to have beaus.

Christmas Plans
There have been some of the
Christmas presents made, I feel
sure. There should be a box or
trunk or drawer, not used daily,
that could be used for the scraps to
use in Christmas presents or for
the finished products. We knew
last January that in twelve months
we would be once more in the rush
of Christmas, and then was the
time to mentally store away the
idea that each month would see
something prepared for the day we
celebrate.
I heard a woman say that she
had seventeen presents ready for
the young people. She has not de
cided just how these seventeen will
be distributed. Six are pretty hand
kerchiefs she has made. Not one
is elaborate, just an edge of crochet
or tatting or a little medalion in a
corner. She is not a rich woman,
but the things she gives count for
something. Two of her presents
will be magazines—that is her most
expensive present, but a family will
enjoy each subscription. The Tri-
Weekly goes to one, and that’s a
good suggestion for all of us.
Money wasted, there is no lasting
value, but a subscription puts some
thing permanently good into the
home.
, I know a family that can be
counted on for dainty needle-work.
The little girls sent their presents
for the very earliest years made by
their, own little fingers. At first
they overcast the edges of white
cloth or chamois and took pride in
the work. The gift that is made
SABBATH
SCHOOL LESSON
For December s—Matt. 13:1*43.
DR. MARION M’H. HVLI
Golden Text: “Fret not thyself be
cause of evildoers.” Fsa. 37:1,
We saw last week how Matthew
recorded the growing opposition to
Jesus the King, as shown by the
question of John, the indifference ot
the cities where He had labored, the
hatred of the Pharisees and Scribes,
and even the belief on the part of
His mother and brethren that He
had lost His mind. We saw also
how, because of this rejection of the
King, He had extended His gracious
invitation to all who labored and
were heavy ladcned, irrespective of
race or religion, and included in His
circle of nearest relatives those who
did the will of His father in heaven.
We see now that as a result of
this rejection of Him as the King,
and which was openly done later. He
changed the form of His teaching.
Now He is- speaking in parables; the
reason for which, He tells His dis
ciples, is so "that those who are in
earnest may understand, while those
whose only'object is to criticize may
not. Unto them it was to be grant
ed that they might know the myster
ies of the kingdom of the heavens,
the truths about it which were not
an afterthough on the part of God
(by no means, but which b/td been
hidden until now, although all rl<
they had been part of thp eternal;
purposes of God. The rejection of
he King had postponed the estab- i
shment of the kingdom. ’ here
here is no king there can be no
i-'gdom. It had created a gap, not
contemplated in the Ort Testament
r • o’ ' - ■ T!’-*'
dispensation of tile spirit, is tnat

necessitated by the changed condi
tions are the mysteries or formerly
hidden things now revealed in the
parables. Matthew characteristically
gives a group of seven, four on the
shore and three in the house. The
first four have to do with the ex
ternal aspect of the kingdom in this
new form, the last three with the
internal. In studying these, keep
constantly in mind the grouping, and
also thqt they are speaking of the
kingdom and not of the church. He
says: “The Kingdom of the heaven
is like, and etc,” never the church
is like and etc.
The First Four
Matthew is always logical in his
grouping, having a definite purpose
in mind; so let us examine them, the
first four todax, and next week the
last three. This is the order. The
parable of the soil, the seed and the
sower; 2d, of the wheat and tares;
3d, of the mustahd seed; 4th, of the
leaven. The first two were Inter
preted by Jesus -Himself to the dis
ciples, and give us the principle of
interpretation for all of the others.
All reveal the startling fact that in
the present form of the kingdom, evil
is predominant.
, The first one shows only one fourth
of the seed bearing fruit. Part fell
by the wayside where the ground
was beaten hard by constant pass
ing, and the birds of the air came
and took them away. Although the
seed, which is the “word of the King
dom” (note this particularly), was
“sown in the heart,” where it might
be received, it was not, and the evil
one snatched it away. Note that the
birds of the air represent evil, ac
cording to Jesus’ own statement.
Here the devil is the enemy of the
kingdom. Another part fell on shal
low soil with a rock bottom; and
lack of depth gave it no chance for
root, and it withered in the hot sun;
as some shallow souls take every
thing enthusiastically but don’t last.
There are many beginners, but com
paratively fetv continuers. Here the
influence of the flesh is seen to pre
dominate. A third part fell among
thorns and sprang up; but thorns
grow faster than wheat, and the good
was choked by the cares of this age
and the deceitfulness of riches. Here
the world is the paramount enemy
of the Kingdom. Rather discourag
ing to the sower, this story; but a
fourth part fell into good soil which
received and nourished it, and it
yielded ten thousand per cent, six ’
thousand per cent, three thousand
per cent, according to the capacity
of the soil. In this parable we find
then the presence of evil so domi
nant that we learn that the new i
form of the Kingdom is to begin by 1
the sowing of the word of the King- i
flom in the world which lieth in the i
wicked one, and that the devil, the
flesh and the world are still the ene
mies of the truth.
In the second parable of the group j
the devil is shown in his effort to ,
defeat the work of the King. The 5
good seed are sown and develop; the j
word of the Kingdom produces sons <
of the Kingdom. But while men
slept—not Christ the King—an enemy
came and sowed tares. Tares, or t
darnel, isi so like wheat as it grows j
that it is almost impossible to dis
tinguish the difference; but when it
has matured it is poisonous and bit
ter. The devil’s supreme desire is
to imitate Christ’s work. He has
always been a liar, and if he can
produce a counterfeit Christian he
is supremely happy. And to his
credit it must be said that his work
is often extremely proficient.
The laborers were not allowed to
pull up the tares; wheat and tares
were to grow together until the time
of the harvest; then the angels are
to separate them, gathering the
tares into bundles to be burned, and
the wheat to be gathered into the
householder’s barn.
Notice that this is the Kingdom
and not the church about which
Jesus is speaking. Paul tells us to
put out of the assembly those who
persist in sinning; discipline in the
church is not enjoined. But in the
Kingdom in its new form, since the
King was rejected, the disciples were
taught to expect evil to grow, and ;
no effort made to separate them. No ,
men can do this; this is the angel’s ■
work, and it is not to be done until ,
the harvest. ,
The Mustard and the Leaven
Possibly no two passages of scrip-
by baby fingers is always very
precious.
This year many homes must cur
tail expenses or sacrifice cotton Lib
erty bonds or Thrift Stamps. ’ Let
the thrift that made these things
possible show away out of this di
lemma. Make something. The wom
an in the county can get some sacks
made is appreciated, and a kitchen
salt sacks and fill with her sausage
meat. Hang up until time to send
them off and let some friends enjoy
a breakfast of good old country sau
sage. A glass of chili sauce for the
friend who does light housekeeping.
A dainty undergarment for the busy
woman who has to buy hers ready
made is appreciated, and a iktehen
apron is a delight. Os course, you
can put a lot of money in the mate
rials used for any of these, but I am
making these suggestions for the
thrifty ones whose surplus says
“only a (trifle this time.” And begin
your list with the names of those
you think are not likely to receive
many presents. Mrs. A. may be the
sort that few people think of at
Christmas time. Little Henry may
get only an apple from Santa, so be
sure you put his name among the
“sure-to-send” things. Put your
minds to work. Do you know that
there are a great many people who
are physically active with minds'too
lazy to get them out of a mud-pud
die? Put your minds to work and
let me hear how you succeed. You
have three weeks to make up the
time you’ve wasted all this year. See
about it.
ture have been more universally mis
understood and misinterpreted than
the next two parables, unless the
next two —the treasure and the pearl
—claim that distinction. We shall
see about them next week. The mus
tard seed, the smallest of all seed,
is seen to grow until it becomes a
tree so large that the birds of the
air roost in its branches. The wom
an takes three measures of meal and
hides a bit of leaven in it until the
whole is leavened. We are told that
these represent the external and in
ternal growth of the Kingdom—the
mustard seed representing the small
and insignificant beginning of the
church until it is spreading and shall
spread over the whole world, the
leaven representing the gospel that
gradually pervades the whole world
How thoroughly wrong both these
interpretations are can be readily
seen from a careful study of the
scripture. They are wholly at vari
ance with the context. Matthew has
shown how the opposition to the
King has grown so that He has to
adopt a new form of teaching t&at
the Kingdom is to be in the world
that lieth in the wicked one, that
the preaching of the world of the
Kingdom is to be only partially suc
cessful, the devil, the flesh and the
world making much of it ineffective;
and that evil is to grow along wi.th
the good until the the time of the
harvest. How can the next two par
ables be interpreted then to teach
exactly the opposite of that? No,
they do not. The mustard is a gar
den herb: and here we have a garden
herb showing abnormal growth and
becoming a tree—something abnor
mal for it—and a tree so large that
the birds of the air lodge in its
branches. Remember also that Je
sus Himself in the first parable said
the birds of the air were the evil
one. What then does this parable of
’ the Kingdom mean? It is nothing
less than Christendom—that peculiar
admixture of good and evil, that ab
normal growth of good until it har
bors all kinds of sins and evils. The
Kingdom was to be in the world yet
not of it; but it has grown to such
abnormal proportions that It is of it.
And the parable of the leaven pre
sents still the influence of evil in
the Kingdom. Everywhere else in the
Bible, without exception, leaven is
used as a type of evil. By all rules
of interpretation, it must mean evil
here also. Th© woman represents
the church, and she is doing what
the scripture forbids (Lev. 2:11),
putting leaven in the meal-offering,
corrupting the children’s bread, for
the three measures of meal (an ep
hab) was typical of Christ the Bread
of Life. How truly do we see this
phase of the Kingdom todav—the
church corrupting the doctrine of
Christ by ritualism, formalism, new
thought, Christian Science, Russian
ism, mormonism, and various other
phases of error, purporting to be the
Bread of life.
Shall we be pessimistic over this’
No, a thousand times, no. History
has shown us the truth of these
words of Jesus the Christ. But the
harvest time will come, and all will
be well. Until then, keep heart and
eyes on Him,
Pointers on Feeding
Poultry Are Given
Feed according to the appetite of
your poultry, says the department
of agriculture: no definite rule can
be given. Feed scantily of grain in
the morning and give all the grain
they will eat In the afternoon In
time to find it before dark. There
should he no grain in the litter at
noon; when found, it indicates feed
ing too much in the morning.
In general, feed by weight 2-3
parts of grain to 2 parts of mash.
When the birds are laying heavily
> they should consume a larger amount
of mash.
A green range of alfalfa, clover or
grass furnishes the ideal condition.
When these are not available it is
necessary to give the birds some kind
of succulent food. Mangel beets, cab
bage, sprouted oats or green clover
are usually considered the best green
feeds. If these are not obtainable
apples and potatoes make a valuable
addition to the ration. Feed at noon
in such amounts as the birds will
clean up before night.
Hard, sharp grit is necessary for
grinding feed; oyster shell to supply
lime for egg shells. Neither will re
place the other.
Finger-Bowls of Brass
In the Japanese shops, one can
purchase finger-bowls of beaten
brass that are unusually attractive
and a set of these would make a very
acceptable gift to a matron.
For the Traveler
For the woman who travels, a
miniature laundry kit would be a
practical gift. This consists of six '
small clothes-pins, a clothes-line and
two glass thumb tacks to hold the
line. This comes in a small leather
case.
