Dear Children: Yesterday I found
delicious ripe persimmon in our
yard. We have one persimmon tree
and we certainly enjoy the fruit,
but it brought swift reminder that
winter is just around the corner and
that we must think Of our Christmas
work and play. 1t isn't long until
Halloween and I am to try to find
some easy pleasant entertainment
that you can have for this occasion
and if I can will print tt next week.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
P. S.-Come on with your tree
letters.
Aunt Julia:
According to your request I will
tell the flower lovers about my
cheap little pit. T first had a pit
dug four feet deep; put facing of
scantling around it; elevated it on
north side, then covered it with
plank, mailing down the outside
plank, leaving two wide planks free
I'd be turned back on good days to
let in the sun. Any lady can turn
over the plank to let the sun in on
good days. I had steps put in 1t.
I kept geraniums, ferns, sultannas
and fuchsias in it perfectly. They
don't bloom much as they will under
glass. E. R., Greenville, Ga.

warm weather in this part Of the country:

singing school for surely do love music
and 1 want to learn to sing. went to my
first singing school of twenty, days but
ode hun rod moi not on in
rudiment. Cur teacher was a good one, too.
We are having fine Sunday school here
at Patten, which l enjoy going to very
have an entertainment now every month. We
did have one every three months but have
changed it. Our entertainments consists of
supper or dinner and tea; lemonade or ice
cream. These entertainments help to keep
the people interested in Sunday school. a
good Sunday school surely is a help to a
community and people both old and young
should go.
Well, 1 wonder what all the cousins are
doing for pleasure. All of you write me and

answer If possible. 1 enjoyed the many
nice letters 1 received by writing last year
and am still writing to some of them yet.

Of the states as possible, so write and tell
all about the country where you live and
snapshot of some scenery, if you have
any you wouldn't mind sending. How do
you cousins like to take pictures? AS for me

flowers. All of you cousins that wrote to
me before write again. I would like to have
