brown eyes and hay a dark COM
plexion.
I am kept quite busy with
homework and practicing ny
lessons. I play the piano ahs> IL.
I love both of them.
I suppose you'll think I'm too ego
tistical by using SO many rs. put 1
mean every world say. My favorite
sport < dancing. What is yours?
Helen, dear, I'd love to meet you
personally. Your letters are SO nice
Thai I think you are the same. l
hone SO. Please, Helen. tell me If
this Is uninteresting and long. Next
time I'll try to do better. l belong

to the same high school as I.
So you like to play. Do you ex-
pect to take up music as a profes-
sion? Yes, 1 like dancing too but l
couldn't say it is my favorite al
though it runs a good race in coming
in first at the hnals. NO, OF course
your letter wasn't undressing l
could answer that by saying what l
heard a little street urchin say when
one lad who had just put on a new
suit of clothes said, Gee, l feel
funny" of course expecting his COM
panion to say that he looked nice but
his companion vouched the reply or
'TWhat w dom, hshin' for a COM
pliment." Write to me soon again.

Dearest Helen:
/ am a constant reader of the
Perth Amboy EVENING NEWS,
also your column eve since 1t has
started, watching its success with
envious eyes and not having enoug
courage to write to you and the girls
myself but at last 1 ave summoned
up enough courage to take the OPP
portnnity to write you for the first
time, also to become q member OF
your column.
Now in reference to myself. L am
twelve years of age and a freshman
in the Perth Amboy high school tax
ing the classical course, hoping IN
the future to be a lawyeress. l am
very fond of speaking and 1 am tax
ing elocution lessons which may help
me in my career in later years. You
know we all live in hopes n die in
despair and being no exception to
the rule 1 am doing likewise.
1 read your article today concern
ing Amboy and to think that some
one is lonesome enough to call this
q dead town. Why, that is ridiculous.
Amboy never was more lively than
it is now with all it's activities and
clubs for children of my age. l am
q member of the Girl Scouts and hnd
1t very nice and interesting.
/ enjoy all our friends letters ano
hope they will write again.
Well, Helen dear, l now realize
that 1 have written entirely too much
for the first time. but 1 don't know
what part to omit will taxi the
chance of sending this long letter,
sincerely hoping you will publish it.
remain yours for the Y. w. c.: A
BETTY BRICE."
