AUNT JULIA'S LETTER BOX “Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dumb Things' 9 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. LOYCE FORD. Indian Trail, N. C. 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. LOTTIE HODGE. Foreston, S. C., R. 1, Box 13. 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. PEARL ROGERS. Lulu, Ga., R. F. D. 1. 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. Timmonsville, S. C.

'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.

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. LEWIS SUTTON. Dowling Park, Fla. 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. I The Tri-Weekly Journal's Fashion Hints I <.

Size 16 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.

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.

The Tri-Weekly Journal’* Own Serial The Only Thing That Counts A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia By the Famous Novelet Carolyn Beecher (Copyright, 1920.) 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. £°? vn thr °ugh the broad lane < , the D J ive - then Fifth avenue, the silence through tne rouU^ n§ '^ On the end of the “Coming in, Adele?” Helen asked No—not tonight. I’ll write a let- Heien.”^ en tUrn ln ' Good night - “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..
