ten! How many of you cousins remember
me? l am an old cousins, because 1 wrote
to the Letter Box last September and my
letter was printed and 1 received many nice
letters from some of the cousins. I GER
tainly am grateful to Aunt Julia for print
ing my other letter, and 1 will thank her
one. Cousins, don't you think she is
dear? If Miss BERTHE e. Maloy, of Argyle,
Fla, sees this letter l wish she would
please write to me again and give me her
correct address, as l wrote to her and my
letter was returned to me. I'll not fright
anybody this time by describing myself.
as I gave you all description of myself
in my ether letter. I don't think there is
much need in describing ones self, because
you can't tell from a description how any
one looks. I am seventeen years old, and
cousins near my age. I'll try to answer all
letters and cards received. Aunt Julia,
fird my bit for the baby.
Your loving niece and cousin,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: What
charming corner we have to be sure, and
how nice of The Journal to let us have
small space in which to put our letters, so
that we may become acquainted with inter-
esting people all over the south! I've never
written to the corner before, although I've
been an interested reader and have learned
to know some delightful folks through its
interesting columns. Mostly, we're a good
natured bunch, and l hope you'll be kind
enough to let me in. I'd just love to hear
from the cousins. Now I'll describe myself,
so any who should write can, in their
imagination, think what I am like: | am
feet 8 inches tall and weigh 100 pounds.

is my hair. You will pardon my vanity if

Hurry up and you'll soon know.

Will say good-by. with joy and smile
And come again in the after while.
