Dear Children:
You know I am anxious and will
ing to help you in any way l can,
and several times when I was asked
about crocheting and knitting and
tatting, I have asked you for SAM
PILES of your work, so if any such
request came again I could recon-
mend your work. OF course, you
must realize that I could not take
the job of selling things like that
as much as I would love to help, so
do not send me articles for sale.
Some time if you have sample OF
some work and you want me to
keep it in mind, ser that along and
rest assured that if the opportunity
arises I will be only too glad to put
people directly in touch with you
and will write you a personal letter
about it.
feel that every child that writes
to this letter box is entitled to my in
dividual help and I will always do
what I can.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

l am. How are you cousins employing
yourselves during vacation? Having fine
time, 1 hope, yet believe in profitable
amusements, such as vigorous outdoor sports,
which make you grow big and strong, and !
advise you to read all the good books by
the best authors that you can get. They
help you so much in English later on at
school and college. Anyone who wishes tt
become more personally acquainted with
me, send your letters and cards to new
cousin, ELIZABETH BOONE.
