We're going to have q family reunion,

But II has to happen In every ones life.

nearly once, because he'd be sure to
get a spot on his suit. and his Aunt
Mary has SUCH an eye!
Then. when they come in, dear, you
mustn't say 'Hello"' as you usually do
to other people. You must say, How
do you do, grandma?" How do you do.
Aunt Grace?" etc. And Reggie, You
must let them all kiss you. sweetheart;
and don't wriggle, whatever you do, or
they'll say you're not an affectionate

Oh. and Reggie. IL they ask you whom

Now, at the table, lovely, remember,
don't reach for anything and don't ask
for anything, dear. Because you
wouldn't want Aunt Josie to say that
you haven't as good table manners as
Aunt Elias children. Mother will watch
your plate and you'll get q whole lot of
everything, even the turkey stuffing
and gravy. dear. il you're good.
But each time you do something that
