j Dear Children:
The 18th is the last day that
health records and cards will be ac-
cepted. I do hope that many of you
have kept your records carefully,
and that on the 18th I will have SO
many cards to so over that l Will
have to stay up as late as Santa
Claus.
Speaking of Santa Claus, when We
act as Santa Claus for our little
Inez at Faith Cottage, our gift bag
will fall far short of last year S. AT
present we have less than $12 in the
bank. I will wait until the very last
moment and will not send our check
until the 22nd and will make the an
nouncement to you as to the amount
sent so you can read it on the o0th.
Of course I wish we had enough
= to give her another year at Faith
2 Cottage, but 1 know that it is. not
always possible for us to give as we
would like to, so we Will send what
we have, with loving hearts, and m
!. sure it will go far towards making
her comfortable this winter.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here
comes new cousin knocking for admit
lance to your happy circle of jolly boys
and girls. 1t is real cool here TINS morn
ing. Almost cold enough to get into the
good old hog killing; that's the time 1 love
to see come around.
1 am a country girl but I go to Warthen
High school, live four miles from the little
town in which our school is located. We
enjoy the ride to school very much. My
father is a sawmiIl man and he doesn't stay
home much mother and my little four
year-old brother get quite lonely by them-
selves much, but my, what good nelgh-
bors we have and our community Is tnlck-
ly settled.
Guess I've stayed long enough for this
time. If 1 see this in print will come again
Lots of love to Aunt Julia and all the
cousins SARAH ANDERSON.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Wonder If
you will admit another fellow from Geor-
gia into your happy band. L nave written
twice before but it was several years
ago 1 don't guess any of you remember me.
have read The Journal for a good many
years and have been especially interested
in the letter box ever since it started l
wonder how many of you can tell the name
of the cousin whose letter was printed first.
I'm very much surprised that more of our
Georgia boys don't write. Make 1t snappT'
boys. and write us very interesting let
ter and tell about yourself. I've come
to the relief of Alice Martin, of Geor-
giana, Ala. Ray for you, Alice, stand by
your gum l am sure that If l was girl
and was as ugly as some of them are with
out their paint and powder I'd paint more
than they do. OF course too much paint or
powder looks ridiculous but just little
r1rIro on
improve a girls looks. Please don't get
the idea that l am an artificial com
plexion'' crank for l am very far from it.
Many of the boys around here use more
powder and paint than the girls do. l
mean some of the girls, not all. How
many of you enjoyed the tree letters: |
did. Several good letters have appeared
lately but there are too many to mention
| the writer's in my limited space. What has
become of Luther Huff? 1 sure do miss his
letters. Also Bernice Beatty.
Guess you all thinking it is time for
me to go so 1 will close by saying I am
interested in music, flowers, photography
and radio. and will be glad to hear from
! some of your cousins but can't promise to
answer all letters as l a school teacher
and haven't much time to call my own.
However, I'll answer all 1 My age is
twenty. With best wishes to you all, l
am an old cousin.

AS l sit in silence this cool Autumn day
seeking some source of amusement, l have
decided to chat with Aunt Julia. and the
cousins. 1t has been quite a while since
I wrote to the Letter Box. and / must say
I received lot of interesting letters.
Well. hello there. Roscoe Owens. Come
again and give us a lecture some time, but
let it be when you are in a better humor
than you were before. Cousins, the reason
that Roscoe was in such a quarrelsome mood
before. his girl must have Tilted him, and
we all know she paints, Roscoe, and there
Is no need being angry with all the rest.
How many of you cousins like music.
am crazy about it. Music is moral law
1t gives a soul to the whole universe,
wings to the mind, flight to imagination a
charm to sadness, and gaiety and life to
rything.
1t is a great blessing to have musAc in
ones life. It is even greater to be able
to bring music into the life of others.
Will some Of You cousins please send
the songs LAS We Parted at the Cate
hand when You're Gone I Won't Forget"
will return the favo" any way l
You cousins write me- and l will assure
4 you an answer. Your niece and cousin.
