"Write Me"

"I want you to write to me.

"The invitation comes from my heart. . . . I want you to tell me about the particular problems which puzzle or sadden you. but I also want you to write me about what has brought joy into your life and how you are adjusting yourself to the new conditions in this amazingly changing world. . . . Your confidence will not be betrayed. Your name will not be printed unless you give permission. . . .

"Please do not imagine that I am planning to give you advice that will eventually solve all your problems. We all know that no human being is infallible, and I am not setting myself up as an oracle. But it may be that in the varied life I have had there have been certain experiences which other people will find useful. . . ."

The author of this juicy invitation was neither cooing Dorothy Dix nor mooing Heywood Broun. It was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt, first lady of the land, opening a Questions & Answers department for Woman's Home Companion. Crowell Publishing Co. will pay her $1,000 per month (estimated) for twelve months. Colyumist Roosevelt assured her readers that Woman's Home Companion Editor Gertrude B. Lane had "given me this page to do with exactly as I will."
