WHY MANY GIRLS FAIL

of attention to the business side of sell
ing manuscript gives one possible clue
as to why jt has not sold.
To be successful as a writer there
are three things neiessuij. First, to

three little poems in every publication.

franksiiggestion, my sister in a
very Interesting profession. The spe

begin Is to write about something we

found jhat by turnlug to household
hints or business girl hints she was

Perhaps you are not guilty ot these
failings I have meiely tried to pick
out some concrete leasous why many
women fail nt writing. If jou have
observed the rules I have cited so far,
then yours it is to hope on until you

Mrs. P. G.
Caviar is made by special process,
requiring certain utensils that care

You will not have much success in
making it at home. The roe must
be cuicd by salting.
My dear Mrs. Wilson Would
you please publish in your column
the reason my cakes and crullers

much shortening? I have tried
less, but there is no improvement.

Your trouble is too much flour,
