July afternoon. It's real pleasant to sit out

thorns. 1t takes them to keep us in the

least. We can lead a queter. nobler and
better life there.

fail to scatterd kind words for they're as
healing as the sunshine. l think we should
all strive to get an education. 1t first takes
the desire tand then the determination and
an education is something that no one can
take from you
always enjoy the many interesting letters.
Remember, cousins, you have a welcome in
vitation to visit brunette from Cook coun-
ty. I'll leave my name, age sex and let you
guess whether I'm married or single. With
good wishes for all and drapping my real
name and address with Aunt Jplia l appear
before you as A. PONDERER.
