Dear Aunt Addy: am glad you
changed the name of the club, for I
am sure it will do much toward
making the cousins be helpful, kind
and good. If all people would look
happy it would make the people
about them so much happier. Aunt
Addy, don't you think it would be
good idea for all the cousins to
write on some good subject? / do. I
think the letters would be more in
teresting. Cousins, strive to get an
education. If we don't get an edu-
cation now we will regret it when
we get older. IF we get an educa-
ton we can get any kind Of posi-
ton you want Cousins, which
President DO you think was the
greatest? l guess most of. you will
say Washington. He did many
great things for the country, but I
don't know which is the greatest.

AUNT ADDY's LETTER.

AUNT ADDY'S LETTER
ely DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS:
1M1 Last week it was impossible
III for me to write you, there be-.
ing so many demands on my
time, and then took one day off to
be sick-a-bed; the weather has been
SO very warm, and there has been no
time for vacation
But you will want to hear some
OF the good news of the Fl. o. A. C.
Our lnvalid's chair has gone to a
dear old lady at Madison, Ga.
We also sent our old Vet check
for $6.45; this week we have more
to add to that, and it begins to look
as though he would receive those
teeth in time to eat Thanksgiving
turkey, any way.
You will notice the grown-ups are
beginning to get lonesome, and are
asking for admittance to our club.
Cousin Vic" is an associate mem
Der; so is "Uncle Ned" and comes
now Cousin Albert who fesses
right up that he is a "grown-up."
| would like to have some of you
boys and girls tell me what you
mean to do and be, when you are
grown up"
Some of your letters are very
funny. They remind me of when
was a very little girl and would be
taken out calling on friends of my
mother. I was always dressed in
very stifly starched clothes that
scratched my poor little arms and
legs. l was cautioned not to "muss''
my dress; not to speak until I was
spoken to; not to eat too much; not
to ask for any more of anything that
was offered me; always to say Eyes
ma'am" and "no ma'am;" not to
wiggle in my chair and-oh well,
by the time we had finally gotten to
where we were going / was a most
Wretched little girl, and was glad to
get back home.
So it seems with many of you
who write letters. You make such
elaborate preparations; you use
words you don't know the meaning
of; you are trying so hard to play
company you lose all your
naturalness and are thankful when
the letter is ended.
Be natural; don't try to create
an atmosphere which is unfamiliar;
don't try to put on airs" or you
will feel as the mother of the little
girl did-when the mother had COM
pany. There were not enough table
napkins for the company, and the
little girls mother had borrowed
some, and cautioned the little girl
to say nothing of it.
Several times during the meal,
the little girl wanted to talk, but
her mother would say: 'You must
keep quiet, dear"
Finally, unable to stand the
strain, the little girl blurted QUIT
amt going to say THING about
the napkins, why DON'T you let me
TALK"
So-be as natural in writing
letter as you are in your daily con-
tact with people.
And just a word more. No one
appreciates nice manners, considera-
ton and good behavior more than
the "home folks"
Try it have.
