mere prudery or staidness with no dspo

True modeety Is an inherent quality and

County, n. C.-Dear Junior: Just came
this time to congratulate the cousins, one
and all on writing such nice. interesting
letters. I don't mean the girls alone, but

I think the boys write just as good let
iers as the girls and some are bettcr.
Now. for instance, take Barton r. Smith s
letter. OF fcw weeks ago. His letter was
fine; and, girls. know YOU will agree with
me on that. | notice YOU cousins have
been discussing who was the most useful
and worth the most the boys or the
girls? Well 7 don't think the boys are
worth any moro than the girls, or the
girls any moro than the boys. I DOR t
think our Maker intended that one should
be any better than the other So. say,
let's stop grumblug. Are you willing to
do that? I rather think that a good
