Dear Aunt Julia: Flowers and bird
song announce springs arrival, and for the
last few days, we have been watching
spring and winter in their succeeding
turns have had two light frotts recently
There is pleasure in the painless woods,
and every green leaf tells story divine.
'Whey only waited, through wincry hours,
the coming of the May" But as the gar
ment of youth is cast aside, we vino are
older have passed out of our youth and
spring time forever, and yet, memory lin
gers. May I suggest this? Let the cousins
who read good books, when they have
read one that is worth while, bring it
to the attention of another, with whom
they corresponding and who ilkes 10
read, and lend them to eacn other. LET
this action be initiated by gatlln@ boys,
and then be recprocated by the girls.
Some of you come and see me thiS sum
mer and we shall go koda king. Let us
hope that a just and lasting peace among
the nations of the earth may not be Tar
away. 1 know the rule about long letters!
L go. ,,
