Dear Helen and Girls:
Well, here 1 am again. This is
my fifth letter to the column but
really 1 think 1t is going to be worse
than the first, instead of better. l
wish 1 could find something interest
Ing to write about, like the other
girls. So the most sensible thing 1
can write Is to let everyone know
how nice their letters are and how
much I enjoy them.
Don't worn about me deserving
the column, Helen. You could not
get rid of me If you tried, although l
/ 80 NAo u 1AlOIS " tdlldlS
thing could not happen to you all.
1 think the new serial, Moonlight
and Money" Is very interesting. I
I'm also reading The Confessions of
a Bride" l have only read the last
four or five chapters but am very
sorry that l had not started at the
beginning.
I also read Sister Mary's Kitchen"
and l will say hat it has many prac-
fjP1l and n~nnnnnina rapinnS hnnn
it always will ave a place in the
NEWS. Don't any of you girls also
find it interesting?
l do not think 1 AVE ever describ-
ed myself, SO 1 will attempt it now.
In the first place 1 am about five
foot, three OF four inches, as 1 have
just discovered, not being six feet
tall, as l had always imagined myself
(and l must say 1t is a great conso-
lation to me that 1 am not six feet).
I have chestnut brown hair Chat is,
when you can discover any color at
all). My complexion Is dark, with
red cheeks Gall my own, too). My
nose is not long and it Isn't short, and
is inclined to point ~heavenward. 1t
seems 1t just got to that undecided
state, not knowing whether to stay
the way it was or to grow long. And
it is that, way still, and now there are
no more chances of having a long,
artistic nose. (Tm great on the ar
tistic stuff. 1 haven't a perfect com
pleXion as there are a few good ma
tured freckles here and there. So If
any of you girls try to identify me
among the persons on the street don't
forget to look for the freckles. My
eyes are dark brown. Sometimes l
wear Specs" but only round the
house when no one is looking (you
know 1 do not like to frighten any
one, not even the cat).
1 am gaining in weight. l weigh
about 1876 pounds CHATS all) but l
well remember a few short ears G
1 did not much pass the one hundred
mark. Then 1 was a human String
beam" now / am getting to be more
like a potato. Well, l think that will
be about enough on that description.
50 if any of you girls ear identify
me on the street, why just stop and
ask me if l am "Deddy," and | may
admit the fact. Maybe l will and
most likely l won't.
Now, Helen and Girls, isn't this too
much of nonsense? 1 must admit
the description is correct, but l am
afraid the girls will be bored by such
a lengthy one.
So hoping everybody will forgive
me this time, I'll promise to be good.
Yours as eve for a Y. w. G. A.! /
am "DEDDY."
Go to it "Deddy' and get that idea
out of your head that your letters are
foolish. AS IN boys on the street
say, Take it from me, they're great

Dear Helen:
This is the third time l have writ
ten and L feel as if l rave eorre-
sponded for ages instead of such a
short m
I spoke about a friend of mine
writing from Massachusetts and l
done so. 1 am going to write to her
after I have finished this letter and
ask her about 1t. Maybe she hasn't
courage enough just yet.
BY the way, I know "GeneVa."
Peggy and Peaches of this place.
I think they are going to write again
too.
l really think 1t is more fun trying
to guess who the girls are than just
knowing, don't you? So we must not
have pins, girls, because then we
would surely know each other.
Now then, Helen, where is that list
of really good books keeping itself?
1t sure must be pretty big by this
time Cat least I hope SOD and 1 know
the other girls are Just aching to see
it SO they can look for the BOOKS IN
their local Libraries.
Here is a little bit of unusual news:
An aunt Of mine sailing for Savannah
on the "Merrimack," on the first
night out the captain received an s.
o. s. from the "Kershaw' out of
