please admit a lonely southern boy into your
happy band Of boys and girls? have been
silent reader of the delightful letters for
quite awhile; and I have enjoyed them very
much ! enjoy reading novels so much,
although / do not have so very much time
to read them. AS see it is habit for
the cousins to describe themselves, 1 Will
do so, then go: l am eighteen years of age,
5 feet 615 inches tall, dark complexion,
black hair and blue eyes. Some of you girls
write me; the boys, too; but since 1t Is
natural, especially want to hear from
some of you good-looking girls. Write soon
to a new cousin. GEORGE KELLY.

Hello, Auntie and Cousins!
Just a few lines this very night
To let you know it is a fight
To keep away from the dear old box,
The very one that never locks.
Auntie and cousins, / am the same,
If not little bit more tanned;
And wonder If every one OF you
Does still know me, oh, who?
My hair is brown, but not Of curls;
My teeth is white but not Of pearls;
l am just 5 feet 2 inches tall,
And will be nineteen near this fall.
I'd like to get some cards from you,
And if you please some letters, too;
Goodbye before stay too long,
And as it is, I'll have to be gone.
Sincerely, LEILA NOBLE.
