Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: I just
eouldn’t keep quiet any longer. I have
written to the Letter Box before, bur I
guess it was unfit to print. Aunt Julia,
you sure are doing great work for the French
ehild and the American child. I think
you are a sweet lady. And the cdusins’
letters are fine, too. They get better and
better. We take The Journal and think
it is a grand paper. Well, I will describe
myself, as most all the other children do:
I am 5 feet 2 inches high, weigh 115
pounds, have black hair, grey eyes, and
fair complexion. Am “sweet sixteen.’’
Well, I will close with a riddle, as news
Is scarce as chicken teeth in this part of
Georgia. Here is the riddle: Down in a
field is a little green house, in that is a
white house, in that is a red house, inside
»f that is a lot of little black bugs. I want
every boy and girl in the United States
that is neaer my age to write to me. I will
close, hoping to get several letters
•oon. From a lonely country girl.

"DANDERINE"
jGirls! Save Your Hair!
Make It Abundant!
Immediately after a "Danderine”
massage, your hair takes on new life,
lustre and wondrous beauty, appear
ing twice as heavy and plentiful, be
cause each hair seems to fluff and
thicken. Don’t let your hair stay
lifeless, colorless, plain or straggly.
You, too, want lots of long, strong,
beautiful hair.
A 35-cent bottle of delightful
“Danderine" freshens your scalj?,
checks dandruff and falling hair.
This stimulating “beautiy-tonic”
gives to thin, dull, fading hair that
youthful brightness and abundant
thickness. —All druggists!—(Advt.)

Here comes a little blue-eyed North Caro

of boys and girls. I have longed to join
the Letter Box, but some way was afraid
try. Well, I did write once, but my
letter was not printed. ’And I said I would
never write again. , But I’m going to try
once more. What kind of a Christmas did
you all have? I’m sorry to say it, but I
did have a dull Christmas. But I’m enjoy
ing the New Year to the very best. Boys
and. girls, let’s just try to see what us
young people can make out of 1921. I some
times feel lonely and blue, but I say to
myself. I’m going to be a happy boy, and
I can when I try. You, too, can. We don’t
know what this old world has for us till we
get out to see. Well, I guess I’d better be
passing on, as it will soon be time for that
dreadful wastebasket. Cousins, make me a
visit. I’m quite sure I could give you all
a nice time. I want to ask you all to
write to me. My sister wrote to the Letter

Dear Auntie and Cousins: Here I come
to you in your Christmas contest. I dearlv
love to read the letter box; it has so many
interesting letters. I guess I had better
tell you how to make something. I have a
pattern to cut rag dolls by and they are
as large as a baby, and are very pretty
for little gins. Perfume bags can be made
by crocheting small bags and lining them
with some pretty color. Put a piece of
cotton in it and sift some talcum powder
in it and close it up. I am nine years

I have been picking cotton all the fall. I

NEW YORK, Dec . 30. —Acces-
sories of a costume are exceedingly
important as they may make or mar
one’s appearance. Especially is this
true of evening costumes.
Quite a popular fad are the tight
fitting, caps of gold or silver cloth
for restaurant wear or the opera.
They come in any number of styles
and are also made of chiffon, net or
lace. The one shown in the illustra
tion is of gold lace over salmon
colored chiffon.
Much beaded, embroidered and
lace-inset hosiery is seen and where
it does not match the -dress, it is
most apt to be gray, silver or gold.
While there are many varying
styles in slippers for evening wear,
the favorite is the plain black patent
leather slipper with a rhinestone
buckle.
Odds and Ends
Os Household Hints
To Keep Starch From Sticking to
Irons
To make starched clothes glossy
an' to keep the starch from stick
ing to the iron, add a small piece
of lard or butter to the boiling
starch. A teaspoon of sweet oil
or castor oil may be used instead
of the butter or lard.
Let Your Spring Hat Be Black
Black is the favorite color for
spring millinery with olive, old rose,
henna and turquoise ranking next in
favor. The choice materials are
satin and taffeta. Duvetyn is only
being- used for ornaments and flow
ers.
Wash Black stockings in Blue
Water
Black stockings should always be
washed in blue water. This pre
serves the color and they will keep
black much longer.
Vinegar Gives Glass High Polish
A little vinegar added to the water
before washing windows gives a bril
liant polish.
Use for Discarded. Phonograph
Needles t
Use discarded phonograph needles
for cleaning bottles. Put them into
the bottle with a little water and
shake thoroughly.
Removing Splinters
Splinters can be extracted from
the flesh without pain. Fill a wide
mouthed bottle with hot water and
hold the Injured part tightly over
the opening of the bottle. The suc
tion will draw the skin down and
the splinter will come out easily and
prevent inflammation.
For Killing Rats
If the ratholes can be located,
place concentrated lye before them.
The rats, after walking through it,
will lick their feet and the lye kills
them. If rat traps are used, bait
them with raw oysters.

Chapter XXXVIII |
ALL the next day as she worked
over her designs, Adele con
stantly thought of Blackton.
Not as his coming affected
her, although she did not attempt
to hide from herself that she would
be glad to see him, but as it might
affect Helen.
Should she tell Flelen? If there
was anything, any reason why she
didn’t want him to know she was in
New York, it would at least warn
her. That Helen knew him, or that
in some way he had been connected
with her life before she knew Helen,
Adele never had doubted. Her start,
her expression when she saw his pic
tured face, had proved that.
“I'll tell her. Somehow I think I
should,” Adele said aloud, then
laughed as one of the girls asked
what she said.
“Talking to myself, Grade. Sign
I am getting old,’’ she parried.
On her way to her rooms she rap
ped at Helen’s door.
“May I come in? Or are you too
busy?”
“No —I stopped writing an hour
ago. You look as if you had some
news. What’s happened? Not going
to stop designing undies and go back
to pictures, are you?”
“Not on your life! I've found my
vocation at last. I shall stick to the
undies.” Then: “But I heard last
night that a friend of mine is in
town. You weren’t In, and I didn’t
want to disturb you this morning.
But I went to dinner with David
Arens. You remember the photograph
I showed you—the western man? Da
vid said he was in town, was at the
Astor. He must be the one Mrs. Cook
says has been ’phoning me.” Although
Adele was intensely curious as to how
Helen would take her bit of news,
she couldn’t bring herself to look at
her. After a moment Helen replied:
“I suppose that will mean I see
nothing of you for a time.” Her tone
was natural, but now when Adele
glanced at her she saw her face was
ghastly.
“Oh, I don’t know. One never feels
the same, you know.” With which
cryptic remark she left Helen alone,
sure that was what she craved.
“He—here!” Helen’s hands locked
and unlocked spasmodically. Her
white face grew hard. “Why, oh why,
must I have more to endure?” And
dropping her head on her folded arms,
great dry sobs racked her body. No 1
tears came to relieve her. Finally she
rose; smoothed her hair. “I must
think. He knows Adele, will perhaps
come here. I must tell her.” A
spasm crossed her face. I

SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON
For January 23, Matt. 20-17:28
BY DR. MARION M’H. HULL
Golden Text: “For the Son of Man
camo not to be ministered unto, but
to minister.”
The Perean ministry had ended.
Jesus had been called to Bethlehem
!on account of Lazarus’ death and
I had gone thence to Ephriam, where
He might be in retirement, but now
I that the passover was near at hand,
■He returned toward Jerusalem again
' for His finai journey. He told His
disciples all of the details that would
happen to Him. The first time, He
had merely given them some inti
mation of His suffering, the second
; time, He had given them more de
: tails, but now this, the third time.
,He tells them He is to be betrayed
| and delivered to the Gentiles, made
I sport of by them, scourged and cru
; cified, and finally to be raised from
I the dead. He has a full apprehen
sion of all that is to happen to Him
'and He does not keep back anything
j from the disciples. They, however,
■do not grasp it; they are amazed
'at what He has to say, astonished
I and filled with fear. They had tried
Ito keep Him from going to Bethle
! hem at the time of Lazarus’ death,
!because they realized the great dan
l ger to Him by His presence there,
i They could appreciate that the very
wonder of the miracle of raising
Lazarus from the dead had only in
creased the antagonism of the Phar
isees. His words only tended to in
crease their fear and apprehension
concerning Him, and incidentally
! they realized that association in and
around Jerusalem was frau'ght with
great danger to themselves.
Therefore, as He turned His face
Inward Jerusalem and began to de
scend into the Jordan Valley, He
walked on ahead of them alone
Never had He looked more kingly,
as with head erect and determina
tion in His face and with firmness
of step, He led the way, although
fully appreciating what would hap
pen to Him within the next ten
days.
In the company with those who
followed was Salome, the mother of
James and John. She had had a con
ference with her two sons and it
had been decided that she was to
approach their Master with a re
quest; she does it adroitly; she came
and worshipped Him, asking that
He would grant a request of hers.
Going straight to the matter, Jesus
asked her, “What wouldst thou?" to
which she replied that she wanted
Him to promise that when He came
into the kingdom He would let her
two sons sit on the throne with Him,
one on the right and the other on
the left. Now this was a very
selfish reo.uest. James and John
were responsible, though their moth
er made th& request. These two with
Peter had been tire ones who had
been the closest to Jesus for three
yfears; it was to be presujned, there
fore, that two of those three would
get the best appointments, and this
was just an effort, therefore, to
squeeze Peter out. On the other
hand, it was perfectly right to be
ambitious, to desire the best. But
when the ten heard of it, they were
extremely indignant.
Let us see though whether they
were wholly in the wrong. Jesus
had just told them what He was to
suffer in Jerusalem, and He had
also told them He was to be raised
fiom the dead on the third day; this
woman, therefore, with womanly in
tuition sees beyond the suffering
His ultimate triumph. When Jesus
asked whether they were able to
drink of the cup that He was to drink
of, they replied without hesitation
that they were able; so far as they
knew, they were willing to pay
the price and were loyal enough,to
Him to be willing to share in all
the suffering which He had just
told them He was to bear.
Jesus told them that they showed
their ignorance in this pledge, as
well as in their request, for "while
they should drink of aup, it was
not His to give the places which
they asked; promotion in the new
kingdom to be, established was not
to be by personal preference, but
to be by appointment by the Father.
When the ten heard it, they .were
indignant, but their indignation
shows that they were equally guil
ty. They were piqued because Je
sus and John had gotten there first.
It was necessary, therefore, for Je
sus to call them all together to teach
them a lesson about, the kingdom
which they had not yet learned.
The Kingdom That’s Different
This kingdom which He was to
from stone, so quiet was she. Her un
seeing eyes stared straight ahead..
Her secret, which she had hugged so
tightly, would be hers no longer once
it had been shared. Could she share
it?
Once the thought came that she
might go away. But where? If she
wasn’t safe in New York, the width
of the continent between them, where
would she be safe? He was prob
ably here for a short time. She would
not go out of the apartment. But
Adele —unless she warned her —would
talk of her. He was very quick. Only
a hint would be needed to put him
on her track.
“Be sure your sin will find you
out.’’ The words flashed before Hel
en as plainly as if pictured.
David Arens knew him. He also
knew Kirk Lansing. What if they
—Kirk and the other —should meet?
Even the most remote possibilities
took on present terrors.
Then there was Adele. She had
cared for him. Might he try—
She hadn’t thought of that before.
Os all the things that she had
thought of, she had massed that one.
She tried to thrust it away. Adele
could care for herself. She had prov
ed she could.
She was so young when it hap
pened, she knew so little of life.
That was why she couldn’t take care
of herself. How many long years
was it since she had taken that step
against every one’s wishes?
The very thought of it made her
ill. When she had seen that photo
graph, had realized that Adele knew
him, the shock was like a blow on
her heart. It was incredible.
She rose and swiftly crossed the
hall. When she rapped on Adele’s
door and received no answer, she
called her name.
“Miss Foster just went out with a
gentleman. Miss Westfield,” Mrs.
Cook told her, hearing the call.
A nausea swept over Helen. Had
she gone out with him.
She returned to her room, and to
her brooding. Dinner time came and
went, but she had no thought of food,
or of time. About ten o’clock she
heard Adele.
“May we come in, Helen?”
She braced herself. Had it come—
so soon?
She stood waiting. The door open
ed and in came Adele', followed by
her boyish admirer, Bob Kemp. Hel
en’s relief was so great that only by
the greatest exercise of will could
she keep the hysterical laughter back.
She felt like screaming. Instead,
womanlike, she busifd herself with
the chafing dish, insisting they must
have supper with her, that she was
hungry.
(To Be Continued.)
establish was to be different from
any other that had ever existed.
They were under the heel of Rome
and knew full well what Jesus meant
when He said kings of the
earth lord it over their subjects and
their great ones exercise authority
and power over their subjects. "But
it shall not be so among you.” This
kingdom was to be different —dia-
metrically opposed in its plans and
workings. “Whosoever wishes to be
great among you, let him be your
errand boy; and whosoever wishes
to be foremost among you, let him
be your bond-slave.” A runner of er
rands the great one! The bond-slave
of all the foremost one! Ah, that’s
decidedly different from any other
kingdom. He had already taught
them that greatness in the kingdom
consisted in humility, childlikeness —
dependent, receptive, obedient. Now
He adds anew light on greatness; it
is not only childlikeness, it is also
service. The great ones of earth are
waited upon, the great ones in the
new kingdom serve others, and pro
motion to first place comes by ser
vice. The one who serves most
comes nearest the King, for the stan
dard Qf measurement is the “even
as” of verse 28. “Even as the Son
of Man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister”—and to min
ister to such an extent that noth
ing less than His life could be the
measure of it “To give His life a
redemption price for many.”
The Brice of It
Never before had He revealed the
leason for the sufferings, the be
trayal, the mockery, the scourging,
the crucifixion that was ahead of
Him. Now for the first time He
tells them. They well knew what
a ransom was, people made slaves
by the cruelty of an oppressor na
tion had been made free by the pay
ment of a price. No longer were
they subject to the power that had
held them, the price was paid by
another, and they were free. This
was what Jesus had come to do; this
was the purpose that was urging
Him on to Jerusalem in the face of
a great opposition. This was what
haa made Him great—He had spent
Himself freely for others all along;
now He would be greatest because
Ho was not keeping back the best
He had—He was giving His very
life as the redemption price for
many. And if they would be great,
they must “run errands” for others:
foremost, they must be bond-slaves —
give up all, “even as” He was giv
ing up all.
Are- you utilizing the freedom He
bought for you with His precious
blood? Whose slave are you—the
devT’s or Christ’s? Are you the er
rand boy of the devil or the bond
slave of Jesus Christ? ,
Yes, promotions will be made, but
not by preference. It is to be de
cided on the “even as” basis —the
basis of your likeness to your Lord
who gave His life as the redemp
tion price for you.
Stage “Fire-Eater”
Makes Great Hit
But Suffers Burns
NEW YORK. —While the 4.000 chil
dren who attended the “fire-eating”
performance given here recently at
the Salvation Army headquarters,
applauded Eugene Miller, who was
spurting flames from his mouth, the
fire curled up to his hair, burning
his face and head.
Miller, panic-stricken, ran about
the stage and the children laughed
and applauded, thinking it a part of
the performance.
A number of society women, in
cluding Mrs. Finley J. Sheperd, for
merly Helen Gould, seated on the
stage, who were aiding in the enter
tainment, realized the man’s danger
and called . attendants who extin
guished the flames. After cold cream
and oil were spread on hsi face, Mil
ler went s back on the stage and ac
knowledged the plaudits of the chil
dren. He said itjwas the first time
he had had an accident during the
time he had performed the act all
over the country.

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE QTHOMAS
Borrowings
Across the snow the New Year bells
are ringing
Their message of good cheer.
And to each heart the joyful prom
ise bringing—
Behold, another year!
Another twelvemonth for a new en
deavor,
Another season for our best intent:
Thank God the tolling bells closed
not forever
Our chance to do the better things
we meant.
TUESDAY
Let’s “take account of stock” today
And see what we have laid away.
Not in* our coffers, but inside —
Where treasures of the soul abide;
How much of Charity is there?
How much of Sacrifice to spare?
How much of Grace and Courtesy?
What balances of Sympathy?
WEDNESDAY
It takes so little to make us glad,
Just a cheering clasp of a friendly
hand,
Just a word from one that can un
derstand;', ,
And we finish the task we long have
planned
And vre lose the doubt and the fear
we had,
So little it takes to make us glad.
THURSDAY
Do not be troubled because you
have not great virtues. God made a
million spears of grass where he
made one tree. The earth is fringed
and carpeted, not with forests, but
with grasses. Only have enough of
the little virtues and common fideli
ties, and you need not mourn be
cause you are not a hero nor a saint.
FRIDAY
A friend Is he who sets his heart
upon us, is happy with us, and de
lights in us, and does for us what
we want; is willing and fully en
gaged to do all he can for us, on
whom we can rely in all cases.
SATURDAY
Beside the home fire’s cheerful glow
May mirth and joy thy comrade be,
And even churlish winter show
A- smiling face to thee.
May life no gloomy side reveal,
But all this bright year through
Good fortune spin her shining wheel
Right merrily for you.
SUNDAY
Put off . . . anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy communications
out of your mouth. Lie not one to
another, seeing that ye have put off
the old man and his deeds. This Is
the will of God, even your sancti
fication.
Are you sometimes bothered and
have a hard time to rid your mind
of some unpleasant thought? Old
satan always has some of his crowd
going up and down the earth hunting
a. place to ■•make trouble. There are
in every community some of the en
vious sort, and it nearly kills them
to find happy people. I try to ha»ve
some good thought, one that I have
borrowed from some master mind,
and when these “emissaries of the
evil one” plant a thorn, I try to
smother it out with the other, the
one that I have memorized. Try
these and see if they will not help
you. Because you failed to live up
to your ideals last year, do not give
up. The fact that you are not sat
isfied with your past is in your fa
vor. When we become satisfied, we
are dead.

The Queen Anne style originated
under Dutch influences, and assumed
more graceful curves and propor
tions than the preceding styles. The
claw foot and the cabriole leg are
characteristic features of this style.
The cabriole leg Is long and slender
for tables and chairs and sturdy and
low for heavy cabinets. Walnut was
the principal wood, although mahog
any was also used.

I w.ote yuii for advice i-«t long
ago b«t have nor. seen an answer
in The Journal as yet. But I hope
to see an answer to this in the
next issue. I am 24 years old, and
have been going with a girl, 20, in
this place off and on for 4 years.
The girl seems to like me very
much and I am sure I love her and
no other one, but her parents ob
ject to her going with me or any
other boy. I can’t get & date with
her when she is at her home, but
if I meet her along the streets,
why everything is O. K. or if she
leaves home to visit another town
I can secure a date. I go home
with her from church sometimes
and her mother calls bed-time on
me nearly every time and I make
it my business to leave at 10
o’clock. Then if I fail to go for
some time the girl seems to be
afraid I am mad and wants to take
all the blame on herself, saying I
would have been gone if she had
not insisted on me staying longer.
Do you think the girl loves me, and
do you think her parents will ever
agree for her to go with me, as
she is their only daughter? One
thing I think is, they’re afraid if
she goes with me it will ruin her
chances in the future to go with|
some one better off in this world’s
goods. If this is not it I can’t
imagine what the trouble is unless
it is because I am a hard-working
farmer. Hurry and answer please.
BEDTIME.
I am sure the girl really
cares for you, if she has
thought enough of you to “keep
company" with you for 4 years.
You should not take up her en
tire time unless you mean to
marry her, for it is doing her
a great injustice. You know
whether you are worthy of this
girl, if you care for her at all
it ia up to you to make your
self better in every way. Pov
erty is no disgrace, and you
can overcome it to a great ex
tent by working hard and sav
ing up your money, also improve
your mind and education by
reading good books. Show the
girl’s parents that you are at
least worthy of their respect
by showing them the amount
of respect you have for your
self. Make yourself worthy and
there is no such word as
fail.”
I am a girl fifteen and coming
to you for advice. I am in love
with a boy 18. He seems to think
lots of me, and I think a lot of
him. He is a nice boy and always
treats me nice. Do you think I am
old enough to have boys to call to
see me? How late should a boy stay
at a girl’s home at night? This
hoy doesn’t go with any other girl
but me. How should I wear my
hair and how long should I wear
my dresses? Hoping to see this in
the next Journal.
CUPID.
“Puppy love” shouldn’t be
laughed at. for those Inflicted
with the disease suffer dread
fully. And they do have such
good times when suffering all
the pangs of misery, that “first
love” brings. I am sure you ara
thoroughly enjoying yourself.
Do not let any boy get too
fresh with you and send him
away from the house around
ten o’clock. For late hours will
make the roses fade and deaden,
the sparkle in your eyes. And
don’t forget “mother” and try
to be sweet and gracious to ev
eryone. And don’t wear extreme
styles, and see that your dresses
are a modest length even if
fashion decrees them to be
short. And see that your man
ners are always above criti
cism. And you will be a truly
nice girl.
I am a girl of fifteen years and
am in love with a boy 17. He says
he thinks lots of me and I sure
think a lot of him. He don’t go
with any other girl but me, and
he says he cares for no other. He
seems to be a nice boy. Do you
think I am old enough to have
sweethearts? How late should a
boy stay at a girl’s home at night?
Hope to see this in print.
DAISY.
Os course you are in love,
and I dare say you will have
several -love affairs you are
sure you cannot live without—
until “the” right man comes
along, then all will be different.
I don’t think having a few boy
friends will hurt you unless you
cannot keep them off your
mind long enough to go about
the duties of school and home.
Then, of course, mother will
take a hand. Boys shouldn’t stay
late at a. young girl’s home
when calling. Not only are the
late hours harmful to a grow
ing girl, but it leads her par
ents to criticize them. and
will cause parents to restrict
daughters from boy company.
I am a girl of 18, coming to you
for advice. I am in love with a boy
22, and my parents won’t allow ma
to go with him. What would you
advise me to do, as I will never go
with another, for he is a nice boy.
We were engaged to be married in
December and broke up. He has
written me and asked me if there
was any use of our making up. He
wishes an answer through The Jour
nal, as I am undecided what to do
“UNDECIDED GIRL.”
Perhaps your parents had a
good reason for not wanting you
to “keep company” with the
young man you mention. And
if you are so undecided your
self, you had better let him go.
You are young enough to forget
al] about this particular boy, and
I dare say he will forget you in
a short time. So dissolve the
friendship.
I am enaged to a boy younge
than myself. He does not come to
see me-because parents on both sides
object on account of age. Do you
think he ought to come or not if
it causes unpleasantness in tht
family? How much older or younge:
might a girl be than her fiance'
Your opinion will be appreciated.
ELDERWEISS.
It depends on how old you are
and how much younger than you
he is. Your parents must have
a very good reason for not
wanting you two to wed each
other. And if you do not love
the young man sufficiently to
care whether he comes to see
you, regardless of unpleasant
ness, then you had better let
him go entirely. You failed to
mention your age and the age
of your sweetheart, therefore T
cannot advise you.
Can you tell me where J could
join to be a Red Cross nurse? I am
18 years old and was in the eighth
grade the last school I attended. I
have been teaching for two terms.
I am very anxious to become a
nurse, but don’t have the money
to take a course in training. Also
what will remove freckles from the
face? '
Please print this soon as possible.
Sincerely,
“FRECKLES.”
Write to “Red Cross Civilian
Relief," 63 Whitehall Street,
Atlanta, Ga., and get full infor
mation concerning nursing from
them. Buttermilk applied free
ly at night and allowed to dry on
will cause freckles to fade; also
lemon juice. They are simple
remedies, blit are as good as
most anything else. Protect the
skin with a coat of > powder
when going in the wind. Use
cold cream freely, the greasy
kind, and it will soften and help |
skin.
I am coming to you for
am sixteen years old, have blue ••
fair complexion and dark browr
curly hair. How would be w
way for me tc fix my hair, or am 1
too old to wear it in curls yet? I am
in the eleventh grade, am I behind in
my books or not, and do I write a
good hand for my age and grade'.
Would it look nice for me to have
my graduating dress made sleeveless
or not, as I am finishing high school
this year? What would be nice to
have it made of? How can I make
myself handsome and attractive
around girls and boys? Is it any
harm for a married man to take any
one around at a fair or anywhere am
pay their way in shows or anythin
else? What does a man mean whey,
he squeezes a girl’s hand or xvinks ai
her? Thanking you very much.
BLUE-EYED ELIZABETH.
Bobbed hair seems to be the
newest style for girls between
age of ten to twenty. Or comb
the hair to resemble bobbed
hair. your hair is curly, you
can pin it so the curls look short
around your neck and face. Un
less it is becoming do not wear
it this way. ’You are not too old
to wear your hair flowing. Ido
not think you are behind in your
books. Your handwriting is very
good. No, do not have your
graduating dress sleeveless.
White organdie or crepe de chine
makes a lovely frock. Make
yourself attractive by refraining
from saying hurtful things, and
being ready to overlook other’s
faults —by not repeating what
you hear, and have people be
lieve in you by your sincerity of
manner and dependable disposi
tion. Pay no attention to winks,
a man only becomes the laugh
ing stock of people if he indulges
in such a silly pastime. Al
ways be on your dignity around
men and they will soon drop the
hand-squeezing game. Let mar
ried mon alone.
