Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. b. Friends:
You will notice that two OF our nieces
have sent the poem given above. There
are many who have found consolation and
comfort in it.
The following from Susan is . good
spring poem in prose, because it deals
with feeling young; and though we may
complain on account OF spring fever-a
bodily condition which affects many of
US, and causes as to make an extra effort
to s'get to work" sometimes-yet we know
there is new life in the air and the 'thope
which springs eternal in the human breast"
rises at this season naturally, even as all
vegetation responds to the warmth and
Sunshine with which nature blesses us.
Dear Aunt Aados:
| have resided in this part Of our country for
thiity-fve years. Thirty-fve years to look
forward to seems q long time. but as look
back to IL it seems yesterday. Now. as l am
writing this letter. feel Is young as did
then-and, I really believe, little younger
but on looking in the glass ! see what could
not find then, viz: gray hairs and wrinkles. /
sometimes almost wish that there were no
such things as mirrors; then could be as
feel-young all the time. The secret Of being
young is keeping the idea Of old age out Of
our mind.
In point of fact, one is really younger be-
cause be or shelves in the newer time. This
year is the youngest year, this month the
youngest month and this daytand hour the
youngest that ever were. Then, Of course. to
be alive in the youngest time Isl to be young
Contradict this statement il you feel like
doing so; nevertheless you will not change
my mind and make me believe that my Anaiy-
sis or philosophy of what constitutes young
ness is not right. SUSAN.
