Correspondents solicited.
"Scotchman," Boyce, Miss.-I have been an In
terested reader of the Young Folks corner for
some time but never yentured within its bounda-
res until If Aunt Susie will kindly open the
door for this time, will promise to do better
ere come again.
Our corner has certainly made rapid strides
since its organization, and does credit to the
young folks especially the girls, but must say in
all honesty that there IS great room Tor improve
II would be far more interesting If more of the
boys would write, and write about something that
would be entertaining and beneficial to us all.
And, to the girls would say that l do not think
the boys appreciate pets any more on paper than
they do il reality, if as much But, | did not
start out TO preach so enough OF that
would like to know the favorite books, poets
and authors, of all the cousins. L would choose
LongfellOw my favorite poet, and yet, the most
interesting and charming book of poetry think
ever read, was "Lucie," by Owen Meredith.
Dickens a great fAvOrte of mine though
think he is very dull the beginning of his books
1t has been apty said of him, ''if he saw stray
dog trot the street, he would stop to note
the fact" And think it is this describing every
little detail that makes his books so dull in the
beginning and so very interesting and instructive
in the ending.
Here is a question which recently in
recently saw in a northern periodical, | want all
the cousins to answer az they think best
'Would you rather marry a man, or woman,
whom you entirely love, but whose love for you,
you are not sure OF a man, or woman, who en-
tirey loves you, but whose love you do not thor
oughly reciprocate"
The matter is open for discussion.
