SEE DARKENED
HER GRAY HAIR
Tells How She Did •Jt With a
Home-Made Remedy.
Mrs. E. H. Boots, a wcß-kifown res
ident of Buchanan County, la., who
darkened her gray hair, made the fol
lowing statement:
“Any lady or gentleman can darken
their gray or faded hair, and make it
soft and glossy with this simple rem
edy, which they can mix at home.
To half a pint of water add 1 ounce
of bay rum, one small box of Barbo
Compound and 1-4 ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair every other day
until the gray hair is 'darkened suf
ficiently. It does not color the scalp,
is not greasy and does not rub off. It
will make a gray-haired person
look twenty years younger.”—(Advt.)

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: In going over the boys’ letters the judges cut
out all talk about hunting on Christmas, and I feel that we will
all agree with them that we should not celebrate the birthday of
our dear Savior by killing his little woods creatures. I do sincere
ly hope that none of my children will spend Christmas day in
that way.
Next week • I will publish another honor roll and our bank
statement. We will have a bit of work to do yet to make good our
promise. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia: Christmas is looked for
ward to as tlie happiest day in the year, and
should be, because it presents the birthday
of our Savior, King and Friend of all who
turn toward Him to live. Let's try to make
every heart glad with a present. If we
bought expensive presents some of our purses
wouldn’t reach many. So let’s plan inexpen
sive ones, remembering it is more blessed
to give than to receive.
Men admire tie or collar boxes; sheet cel
luloid cut any shape and whipped together
with cross stitch any color rope silk floss,
lining box with same color satin, paint on
lid. bunch holly leaves and berries. If you
can’t obtain celluloid, odd shaped candy
boxes will do. Glne a piece heart shaped
fringed satin on lid, with initials enibrod
ered on same. Coat hangers covered with
shirred ribbon, tie holders of embroidery
.loops wrapped with ribbon tied with swing
ing bows. Embroidered or crcheted edges
of towels. Chamois skins with pansies at
tached painted. Fancy baskets with satin
cushions and ribbon bows, pin cushions of
stuffed ribbon around small dolls English
walnuts hulls stuffed with satin cushions.
With ribbon hangers, shoulder shawls and
linen handkerchiefs with initials are appre
ciated.

Dear Aunt Julia: I have just finished
reading the letter you wrote in The Journal
that the girls could write about something
that would be nice to give to a girl friend
for a Christmas gift. I think that a dust
cap would be a nice present. The way you
can make one is to get about one yard of
hair ribbon, any color you want, and crochet
a top to the cap; you can make it any
design you wish for the crown, but make
it large •enough. After you have made the
crown for the cap you sew the ribbon to
gether and gather it around the top until
you get it as small as you want it to be.
Then you fix the bottom of the cap to run
the elastic through; it will be about an
inch or two from the bottom. Then when
you have put your elastic in the cap you
get some dainty lace (not too large) and
put it at the bottom of the cap. And if
you want to, you can make a rosette out
of ribbon that is the color of your cap,
and put it on the side or anywhere you
want to put it. Yours sincerely,
VIRGINIA HICKS.
Chesnee, S. C.
Hello Aunt Julia and Cousins. This
bright beautiful morning I will write about
the things that can be made inexpensive
ly. Take small pieces of cambric that
are left over from other garments and
make handkerchiefs, aprons, underwear,
crochet and tatting—always appreciat
ed. Make dainty embroidery aprons, the
sort with three deep pockets across the
front, also a subscription to some good
magazine, or get up subscriptions to some
good magazine and get premiums and use
them for gifts. Get a ten-cent basket
and get cretonne; put at the top of the
basket, gather and have ribbon stream
ers; use for a sewing basket. Take small
pieces of silk Or velvet and make pin
cushions, odd ends of ribbon and lace
can be used if we can’t give great things
give small ones, and be like the woman
who said Jesus was given her and she
had never yet been so poor that she
couldn’t give something. Times are hard
and many a little stocking may be al
most empty, many a little heart grieved
over things, but love brightens the dark
est day and the parent? can put them
selves into the day and compensate for
satan’s poverty. Sincerely,
BERNICE BEATY.
Dear Aunt Julia: How are you today?
Just fine I hope. This leaves me well
and thinking cf Xmas. I hope all the
cousins are thinking of it in the way that
tIM» Lord would have them think of it. ;
If a Xmas gift is not neatly fixed up
it is not very attractive, so my idea about i
making them attractive is to purchase :
boxes, 4also nice paper and seals and wrap
them neatly, tie them with some pretty
Xmas cord or ribbon and put the seals
on them correctly. This will greatly add
to the appearance of the package.
It is also very inexpensive. As ever, lov
ingly.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins and
friends: How are you all this cold weath
er? I’m fine myself.
What are you all expecting to do for
Xmas? Oh, I'm planning on having a good
time. Hope this will be one of tlie great
est Xmases that has ever yet been. I’m
preparing for Christmas presents, making
handkerchiefs for girls with a bit of cro
cheting around the edges, and for boys
I’m crocheting sleeve holders of assorted
colors with ribbon to match and several
tie holders. In making these you have to
have round hoops. Put a yard of each
three colors of ribbon for hanging % of
a yard. AH of these are Inexpensive pres
ents and pretty also. I’ll not describe my
self this time. My age is 10. I would like
so correspond with some of you cousins
near my age. Auntie, I think it is grand
for you to adont an orphan child. In
closed you will find a dime for her. With
love and best wishes to all, sincerely.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins; Christ
mas is nearlv here and the turkey’s get
ting fat. Gee! but don’t that sound good.
How many of you cousins make your
own Christmas gifts? I do and would like
to give a hint or two as to how much I
spend on them. Now, please don’t tell any
one for they might not want so cheap
a present. .
A nice present of tatting or crochet is
fine for an older person. I mean a young
lady, A yoke can easily be made for thirty
cents and about twenty cents extra for a
nice little ribbon to run through it. A
little reed basket is nice for the school
girl like me. They are so handy for sew
ing and little things. Now, maybe grand
ma wants a present. They most always
do. How about a warm knitted shawl or
crocheted bedroom slippers? Boys like tie
iiangers, coat hanger or laundry or cohar
bags. Mother and daddy would appreciate
a bag for their bedroom slippers or may
be mother wants a sewing bag and daddy
a hunting bag. These are a few things
I make this year and hope they will be
appreciated. Cousins, write to me. Lovingly,
MARY STALLINGS.

give than when you receive. We received
Jesus for our gift and we should do our
test to give to others. 'When choosing
gifts always make a choice you will not
be sorry of later. Do not choose expensive
ones, but choose the ones that do not cost
much and you can give more. The gifts
are appreciated far more by ones that do
not receive many than by the ones that
are loaded with all kinds of gifts. There
are many beautiful band-made gifts that
are easily made. You can get an idea from
the catalogues. Perhaps, there are some
gifts we do not think of; we can find easily
how to give one by Aunt Julia’s motto:
“flelp for the helpless.” One can find a
real gift to give by thinking of that. Can
you not find some “helpless one” to help?
There are many gifts to give if we will only
sot our head to working. So please give
all yen can and be happy. I remain,
Yours very sincerely,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins, Too: As
Christmas eomes but once a year, let's keep
that day fall of cheer. We might go hunt
ing or fishing and numerous things that boys
cal! good times. But let’s resolve to make
this Christmas a cheerful one for all by doing
all the kind deeds we can. Send gifts to
friends, and especialy if we have a foe, let's
try to win him as a friend, so that we may
have the Christmas spirit without strife.
How would you boys like to go with me in
bathing in the Suwanee river? If Jack
Frost doesn’t be too saucy, I think I’ll go.
I went in last Christmas, and, believe me, it
was fine. Honing for all you girls and
boys a merry time, I’ll close.
Lovingly.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
x
Silly Moths
Fo» years I have tried to be silent
on the ways and doings of other
people when writing for the Country
Home Column and I still think it is
the most satisfactory way for my
self, but there has come a time in
the history of our own country when
sane and experienced women should
speak out, in regard to unmodest
dressing and too much freedom in
the association of unmarried girls
and boys, and I will also say unmar
ried men and women. There have
been some cases put in print, of
court trials and suicide, poison tab
lets and the like, which have made
parents entirely wretched, and put
lifelong taint on the reputation of
girls and young women in our own
section of the country, without death
by suicide. It does not affect us
seriously to rea dabout such things in
far distant states, but when it oc
curs among people that we know
about, perhaps are acquainted with,
it is a thing of a different color. To
withhold counsel and keep silence,
as if there was nothing to complain
about, is not only unwise, but un
patriotic. To stand aloof is not giv
ing proper service to our day and
generation. The Lord expects His
people to give warning in times of
danger and destruction and if there
is anything in our social or religious
life that can make grief and unhap
piness, beyond all sorts, more than
such unhappy girls who have thrown
away their life’s chance in a short
season of passion and folly, I am
not aware of it. When I am in
formed of the great sorrow of n
happy mothers, who have tried to
raise their daughters to decent and
virtuous habits, and have failed, I
recur with’ thankfulness to the go
ing away to the “better land” of my
only little girl in early childhood.
These girls who throw away their
most precious life-jewel, self- re
spect and virtuous reputation, are
like silly moths that flutter about
the burning candle, until the moth’s
wings are fatally scorched and maybe
life itself is thrown away.
I know of no better comparison
to illustrate what I am here writ
ing, with my aged heart in deep
sympathy- with the suffering moth
ers of these silly moth-like girls.
Until a young woman is really mar
ried there is no sense, and I will
go further and say, much danger
in permitting familiarities from
young men.
I take it that real affection is
based on respect; and a girl who
makes herself common, with even
her fiance, before the license is
bought and the ceremony is perform
ed, takes enormous risk, and when
an engagement is broken off for any
reason there is obliged to be more
or less of painful embarrassment
afterward in further acquaintance.
A gentleman who really loves the
girl he asks to marry him, expects
her to remember that he loves her
too well to expect familiarities un
til she is his wife in fact, and I
will go further and say that a real
gentleman will not desire to marry
a girl or young woman who has
been hitherto kissed and fondled by
other men.
Os all the really beautiful things
on earth today, it is the lovely young
girl who is pure in thought and ac
tion. She is a darling, a jewel of
first water, and if she is clean in
life, pure in thought, a lady at
heart, and a gentlewoman in society,
she will make a happy home if she
marries a man who really loves her
and is worthy of her acquaintance.
She will be a happier mother if she
can tell her own little girls that
she obeyed her mother’s wishes, and
was careful in association with men
who courted her. Oh! What shall
I say to the silly moths that flut
ter around the blazing candle, with
not enough clothes on her body to
conceal the lines and dimples on her
bare arms, shoulders and bosom.
When such a girl is willing to
wihrl about in the giddy dance, with
a man’s arms encircling her, and al
lows him to kiss her bare neck and
arms, she is too close to the blaze
to be safe!
The crown of young womanhood Is
modesty.
The charm of married life is a
“virtuous woman.”
The glory of motherhood lies in
absolute loyalty to the marriage
vows, and then her husband and her
children can rise up and “call her
blessed.”
We have in the United States too
many fashions, copied from the
Parisian demimonde. Those vain-sil
ly “soiled doves” have nothing to
lose by “fast living.” They are at
zero depth, as to morals, if not to
manners. We are not protecting
American womanhood by adopting
the half-naked styles that are now
prevailing in dress. We are not com
pelled to wear the suggestive cos
tumes that make people uneasy un
less they will be forced to see things
—that only rightfully belong to the
nursing babies—in any public place
Oh, silly mothers!
Winter time is upon us. Cold
weather is here. Coal is high. Try
to remember that you are risking
your health with, nude costumes, and
it is only a lustful man who will
call you beautiful in such dangerous
attire.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
1 am coming to you for advice.
This is my first time writing you. I
in love with a boy twenty years
old, and I am sixteen. I believe this
boy loves me. He corresponded with
me one year and a half. But he has
stopped going with me, for this rea
son: I asked him to excuse me once,
and he said he was not going to do
so, and I simply told him that he was
compelled to do so, and he told me
he was not coming any more. But
the next Sunday he came back and
asked me for company. I declined.
So he threw some of the letters
which I had written him at my feet,
and did not say another word. He
wants to go with me now, but I will
not, on that account. There is an
other girl he has been going with
since he stopped going Ith me, but he
says he is just going with her be
cause he cannot go with me. She is
foolish about him; runs him down
to go with him. He says if he can
not go with me he is going to leave,
and I sure don’t want him to. Please
give me your best advice. Thanking
you for your advice. Please answer
in next week’s Journal.
ELUEREA S.
You and your boy friend are
very silly. And obth of you show
a great deal of temper. If you
like each other sufficiently to
want to keep company, then you
should not act like babies. For
give him for what he may have
done in the past, and make up
with the oy. Do not allude to
what has happened, but try to be
more considerate of each other.
I am a girl age seventeen, coming
to you for advice. I am going with
a boy age nineteen. He has been
coming to see we for six months.
Comes almost every Sunday. He
doesn’t go with any other girl now.
Do you think I ought to go with any
other boy? I am corresponding with
several boy friends, and he has asked
me to quit writing to them, would
you advise me to give up all my boy
friends for this one? I dearly love
him and believe he loves me. He has
ssked me several times to kiss him
and I would not. Did I do right? Are
we old enough to get married? Do
you really think this boy loves me or
just fooling met? As he doesn’t live
just fooling me? As he doesn’t live
he come? SUNSHINE.
I think you should treat the
young man as fairly as he
treats he doesn’t go to see
any other girl, then you should
not see other boy friends, if you
are engaged to marry this one.
But if you are not engaged to
marry, it is not a wise plan to
give up your other young men
friends. And neither should you
stop corresponding with o*her
men. I cannot tell you whether
the boy is fooling you or not. It
is up to you to keen him from
doing so, by cntrolling your own
feelings. Do not let him see how
much you care for him. Let him
call to see you as often as it is
convenient for you to have him.
I am coming to you for some ad
vice. Is there any harm in letting a
boy hold your hand? If you love a
boy and intend to marry him. is
there any harm in kissing each oth
er? I am in love with a boy. twenty
eicht years old. I am only eight
een. He is a very nice boy. ’We are
to be married June 3, 1921. This
boy is well thought of bv everybody.
He owns a big store. Do you think
he will make me a good husband?
requires 3 3-4 yards 36-inch material.
Price 15 cents.

in size 16 years, 36 to 42 inches bust
measure. Size 36 requires 3 yards

inch fur Price 15 cents.
9848 Lady’s three-piece skirt.
Cut in sizes 26 to 32 inch waist
measure. Size 26 requires 2 3-4
yards 44-inch material and 2 1-2
yards binding. Price 15 cents.

Do you think he is too old for me?
I will finish high school this yeai
I can cook, sew and do all kinds of
fancy work. Do you think I will
make him a good wife? He says he
loves me dearly, and I am sure he
is the only boy that I ever loved,
and ever can love. Do you think 't
is any harm in accepting expensive
presents from a boy? Please give
me your best advice. Hope to see
this in the next Journal.
VIOLET. _
Eve started all the trouble ”
when she kissed Adam in the
Garden of Eden. Kissing is
harmful. But at the same time,
people do not listen to reason,
and keep on doing the things
-which bring disaster to them
later on. A sweet-kiss from
someone you love is a pleasure.
But if indulged in to one’s sat
isfaction, at the time being, they
soon lose their flavor and noth
ing remains. Kisses, like other
sweets, should be taken spar
ingly and at long intervals, so
as not to impair the digestion.
I am sure you will be very hap
py married to this young man.
And I do not think he is too old
for you.
Just a little advice from you. My
beau asked me what I wanted him
to give me Xmas. I can’t decide. I
think it would be too much to ask
him to give me a fur or a chest of
silver, wouldn’t it? I have a neck
lace and a ring, also a watch brace
let. Send me some advice and what
to tell him to give me. Also some
thing nice I can give him? Your
advice will be appreciated very
much. LEE.
Don’t you think you are hint
ing at some pretty expensive
gifts? I do not know what this
man means to you, or how much
he thinks of you. If you expect
to marry him, and want to ac
cept presents now which will be
useful in your home later. I
suppose it is all right. But to
buy handsome furs or costly
wearing apparel is not good
taste, and it leads people to
criticize. Personally I think it
wrong for a girl to accept cost
ly presents from a man until
after she marries him.

A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia

Chapter XIV.
wg- tHEN next Helen and Adele
\'\/ were together no mention was
y V made of the picture episode.
Yet each was intensely aware
of it, and both did their best to
counteract the feeling of restraint
that they felt because of it.
Helen was at work on the new
story, one that gripped her so that
she was disinclined to waste time
in gossip with Adele until it was
finished. Mortimer Kellogg had call
ed, but was refused entrance, al
though Helen was at home. So he
had written asking for a story, and
Helen, in the reaction from her in
terview with Adele, had taken the
incident as the plot of her story, and
in her temperamental way worked
it out alone. Not even Mrs. Cook
or Adele could gain admittance once
she had commenced to write
The daylight was usually gone
when she laid her work aside. Then,
exhausted, hungry, she had no wish
to do anything save eat her frugal
dinner and go to bed.
"0° com e out and take a ride on
the ’bus,” Adele pleaded through the
telephone. “It will do you good.”
And rather than argue Helen prom
ised.
They took a No. 5. It went up
Riverside Drive to One Hundred and
Sixty-third street. They would keep
their seats, be sure they would not
be obliged to return as in inside
passenger—something Helen nated.
To Adele, Helen was now dounly
interesting, as was Adele to Helen.
It is strange that an affinity, or even
an admiration for the same man. will
call out this trait in women, out so
It does. Looking back, Helen re
called a small number of incidents
and scenes out of the dead past.
Adele also, in the more recent days
recalled much that she then gave no
particular heed to, but whicn now
stood out plainly, silhouetted against
her memory.
They talked little. But this was
not strange, as often they sat to
gether in silence. It had been one r>
Adele’s attractions for Helen, this
ability to kebp still.
But tonight each longed to speak
of the thing nearest their hearts; the
thing neither had been able to dis
miss from their thoughts for dxys
Suddenly Adele gave a start.
“What is it?” Helen asked.
1 saw someone I knew
on that .bus we passed. I must have
been mistaken.” But she knew she
had not been mistaken, that the hand
some, debonair face was that of the
friend of the man of the photograph
—the man he had brought one night
to cal] upon her. Might it not br
tnat he, too, was in the city? This
man also was from California
But something, some feeling she
could not explain, kept Adele silent
h«ri tO J2l, e perso , nalf ty of the man she
had seen, even led her to pretend she
had been mistaken.

“Coming in, Adele?” Helen asked
No—not tonight. I’ll write a let-

“Good night, Adele.”
So, casually, they parted, hiding
their emotions as' women so often do
under the guise of indifference.
In her own room Adele looked
though some papers and old letters
in her desk. Finally she found that
for which she searched. She called a
number on the telephone.
“Is Mr. David Arens, of San Fran
cisco, stopping there?” she asked.
After a moment came a man’s voice
over the wire:
“Hello ”
“Is this Mr. Arens?”
“Yes; who is calling, please?"
“I wanted to ask a question. Is
your friend K. D. in town with you?”
“No. ’But won’t you please tell me
who is calling?”
•“Not tonight. I may call again..
Thank you and good-by.” Without
waiting for an answer Adele hung up.
“I wonder—” Adele said aloud, as
she prepared for bed —I wonder if
David Arens knows.”
The pleasantly cool summer day
had thickened up rather suddenly
The twinkling lights of the Square
gleamed faintly through the fog that
hung low over the trees and made
even the green ’buses look faint and
ghostlike as they swung around the
circle. Helen had sat by the window

lesson to a private teacher. Neither the
question of time nor expense is any longer
a bar—every one of the obstacles that have
been confining your enjoyment to mere lis
tening have now been removed.
My method of teaching music—in your
spare time at home with no strangers around
to embarrass you—makes it amazingly easy
to loam to sing by note or to play any
instrument.
You don’t need to know the first thing
about music to begin—don’t need to know
one note from another. My method takes
out all the hard part—overcomes all the
difficulties—makes your progress easy,
rapid and sure.
Whether for an advanced pupil or a be
ginner, my method is a revolutionary im
provement over the old methods used by
private teachers. The lessons I send you
explain every point and show every step in
simple Print-and-I’icture form that you
can’t go wrong on—every step is made as
clear as A B C. My method makes each

CHRISTMAS '
Is Coming!
Here Are; Some Tri-Weekly
Journal Suggestions for Mak
ing Simple, Inexpensive Gifts
at Home.
For the Youngest One
A practical Christmas gift for a
baby is a hand-painted oilcloth doily
for his tray. This can be made gay
very easily with transfer designs—
perhaps a rooster in one corner and
an owl in another, or fish swimming
away from a ship with sails set in
an opposite corner.
Desk Set as Gift
A desk set would make a very at
tractive gift. The foundation is of
cardboard, The decorations can be
cut from colored paper and covered
with a transparent material. Cre
tonne can also be used. If desired.
Picture Frame
For the picture frame, a founda
tion of cardboard is used. Decora
tions from colored paper or cretonne
can be used. If desired, the frame
may be covered with black sateen,
with appliqued birds or flowers. The
material is gluted on.
For tittle - Tots
An attractive apron always brings;
joy to youngsters. These aprons are
made of linen crash or linen. Ducks,
chickens, or Dutch children can be
appliqued on the front of the apron
with black buttonhole stitch.
Pincushion for Traveling
A flat pincushion that can be roll
ed up, Is a practical gift for travel
ing. This pincushion consists of a
strip of ribbon about four inches
wide. A strip of white flannel is
stitched to the ribbon which is tuck
ed up at the bottom to form a pocket.
This will serve to hold jewelry. A
narrow ribbon to match, serves to
tie the pincushion together.
Handy Powder Puff
Take an ordinary
swan’s-down
puff and securely attach a silkrcov
ered stick to it The back of the
puff is covered with frilled rainbow
ribbon and trimmed with tiny silk
flowers.

tep so easy to understand and practice that
even children have quickly become accom
plished players or singers under my direc
tion by mail. Also thousands of men and
women 50 to 70 years old—lncluding many
who had never before tied to play any in
strument or taken a lesson of any kind—
have found my method equally easy. Aly
method is as thorough as It Is easy. I
teach you tlie only right way—teach you to
iday or sing BY NOTE. No “trick” music,
uq ‘‘numbers,” no makeshifts of any kind.
I call my method “new”—simply because
it is so radically different from the old
and hard-to-understand ways of teaching
music. But my method is thoroughly time
tried and proven. Over 250,000 successful
pupils—in all parts of the world, and in
hiding all ages from boys and girls of 7 t<
1 to men and women of 70—are the proof
But I don’t ask you to judge my method
■y what others say or by what I mysei
say. You can take any course on trial
singing or any Instrument you prefer—an
Judge entirely by your own progress. If so
sny reason you are not satisfied with th
course or with what you learn from it, the:
it won’t cost you a single penny. I guar
antee satisfaction. On the other hand, i!
you are pleased with the course, the total
cost amounts to only a few cents a lesson,
with yotir music and everything also in-
cluded.
When learning to
play or sing is so easy,
why continue to con
fine your enjoyment of
music to mere listen
ing? Why not at
least let me send you
my free book that
tells you all about my
methods? I know you
will find this book ab
sorbingly interesting,
simply because it
shows you how easy
it is to turn your wish
to play or sing into
an actual fact.
