Dear Auntie and Cousins: May I come
again? It's been ages and ages since /
wrote last. Am sure all of the old cousins
have forgotten me. Probably I have some
new cousins that do not know me. Yes, /
have, because 1 read, or try to do so, all
Of the letters and enjoy them very, very
much, and those read / consider my cous-
ms, therefore, all of You have a new cousin
you do not know anything about. And you
don't know very much now, do you? Oh,
well, I will leave this for you all to solve
out. 1 an interested in the American child
that Auntie and you all are helping and, of
course. I wish to contribute to this great
work. I think more girls and boys should
contribnte than do. Am sure the child Will
thank you later if not at present. Every
one should have an education to qualify
them for the future. If we are getting ours
why not help some one else to get theirs.
We can do this if we will all do our dead
level best. So come forward and don't be
Stacker. / am in the senior class this
year and 1 am not willing to stop my edu-
cation yet. So come forward, one and all,
and let's do our bit. 1nclOsed find one dollar.
Lovingly, MISS ALLIE CABANISS.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Won't you
let Tennessee girl come in and chat a
while in your pleasant corner? Oh, yes, L
knew you would. cause Auntie is Just too
good to refuse to admit little grille to
her happy band Of boys and girls. l., like
most other cousins, live on farm and am
glad to say that / am satisfied with coun'
try life. We are ten miles from our near
est city, which is a poultry center for
East Tennessee. We have new consoll-
dated school this year in our community. l
like to go to school and think it every boy
and girls duty to try to get an oedG from
any or even all of the girlies. Boys, please
don't feel sighted. You know boys and
books never could occupy girls mind at
the same time. Ha! ha! May God bless
you all is my wish.

often before he began writing "stories."

try very much. A revival meeting closed
here at one of our churches last week. An
other starts at the other church next Sun
day. Wish some of you could visit me and
attend services with Luther and THAT is,
if we could persuade him to go. He missed
the first three services because OF his zeal

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: am a
new cousin but hope to gain adnittance to
your pleasant corner. Am farmers daugl-
ter and find many pleasures out under the
clear sky. You know it has been said that
"God made the country and man made the
town" OF course the town is all right,
though / find more real contentment out in
the open fields and along the flower scented
woodland paths. We live four miles from
the Southern railroad and the little sta ton
whose name is stamped on our mail. Our
principal crop here in East Tennessee Is
corn, though we raise lots Of wheat, oats
and other small grain crops. Many of the
older people have never seen bale or
cotton. We don't raise 1t in this part
of the state. l am nineteen years old. Lave
blue eyes, black hair and fair complex

126 pounds, height 5 feet 4 inches. With
love from your new cousin,

Dear Auhtie and Cousins Here comes
the grille from Henry River again. O1
course you all remember me, for it has not
been very long since 1 was with you all.
You see, 1 wanted to come again to bring
my mite for the American child. l didn't
give the French baby anything. 1 have re-
eeived many nice letters from the cousins
since my other letter was printed, and l
want more of you cousins to write to me,
but don't guess my age for haven't any
more photos. Christine Brightwell, why
don't you answer my letter? Well, must
be going. I've stayed too long already.
Am an old cousin.

Dear Aunt Julia: viii you admit me
into your band of young people? l have
been reading the letters in your column for
some time and enjoy them very much. Some
are very interesting, while others are not.
/ think the description in many tends to
draw them along the same line and lessen
their interest 1t seems as if any one
ought to write an interesting letter with
out telling how they, LOOK and closing with
letters are written this way. I think Aunt
Julias letter box would be much more bene-
fetal and interesting if this practice was
done away with. | am senior in high
school and am studying geometry, physics.
Cicero and English literature. After fin
ish high I hope to- go to college and grad
uate there. An education is very essential
if one wishes to get along in this world,
from you. l live among the hills OF north
ern Georgia, on farm. like the country,
where l can have fruit in the summer,
gather nuts in the fall and raise SO many
good things. If this does not stay with the
wastebasket 1 may come again. Respect
fully, MARIE ROBBINS.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
let a Mississippi boy join your happy band
of boys and girls? I live on a small farm

been travelling for the last six or eight
months, have found travelling more pleas
ure than farming. Am at home now, max
ing up syrup, SO you know 1 am some sweet
kid You cousins come over and help drink
Juice l am sure we could have a good
time Are you boys and girls going Ia
school? 1 have not started yet, but will
