Of course, I don't want to learn to play, but want just to understand' another's paying, you understand? I sincerely hope that this" will not bother you very much and atsure you that anything you do to help me will be deeply appreciated. I think the Women's Page in the Kvenino Public Ledoeii is jmt fine, much better than that of any other paper I read A IlEADEIt. There are rule books of all the ath letic games which nre sold nt the maga zine icounters or in the athletic depart ments of the large department stores. These books are for the men who play, but they are a help to those who watch as well. If you go to enough games you will get so that you understand them n little, and the rule books will enable you to know what is going on. If you go to the public library, Thir teenth and Locust streets, and ask the librarian to help you, you can probably find some books there that will tell ou more about it. Colored Newspapers To the 'Editor of Woman's I'ooel Dear Madam Would you kindly an swer this question for me: Where are colored ncwspapeis sold in Philadelphia? h. Y. There are two newspapers for colored people in this city. One is the Phila dclphia Tribune, which is published nt 52(5 South Sixteenth street, and sold nt the newsstands. The other is the Christian Record, which is published bv the A. M. E. Hook Concern. 031 Pine street. I believe that is usually distributed in the churches, and is not Bold nt the newsstands. To the Editor of Woman's Paof Dear Madam Could you possibly give me any information in regards to school for millinery in Philadelphia. MISS P. G. I do not know of any school where millinery alone is taught, but I do know that there is a very good course in mil linery nt Drexel Institute, at Thirty second and Chestnut streets. Some of the public schools hnvc night courses in millinery, too. If jou call up the Hoard of Education you can find out which schools give these courses. Then at Temple University, Rroad nnd Perks Btreets, there are courses in millinery in the afternoon or evening, and you can take whichever you prefer. These courses 9o not start until next winter. If you write to any of these schools they will send you catalogues and literature on the subject nnd you can choose the one that appeals to you most. Sells Stories Out of Town To the Editor of Woman's Page' Dear Madam Kindly give me the names of some local newspapers and magazines here in Philadelphia who would probably be interested in short stories. So far I have been successful in dis posing of my stories out of town and would now like to try to sell some here. E. M. If you look in the telephone book under "Newspapers" in the business section, you will find n large list of newspapers published in this city. The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal and Country Gentleman are the only magazines I know of that are pub lished in this city. They are all pub lished by the Curtis Publishing Com pany, at Sixth and Walnut streets. The only way to find out whether or not , the various papers will buy your stories is to send some of them, unless you can get some satisfaction by calling them up on the telephone. Personally I think you will do better to stick to the out of town publications if you have been successful, for I know that this paper buys practically all of its stories from a syndicate, and I imagine that it is th same way at other papers. How ever, you may find it otherwise and I certainly which yon snecess.
