Dear Children: I wonder how
many of you are finishing school,
this summer. Now 1 am going to
lecture a little bit and am asking
you to please be patient with me.
Just because your desk lid has
| been closed for the last time, just
because there have to be no more
early races to school and hurried
| preparations of lessons for some rea-
son neglected, please do not feel that
| your study time is over. Do you
realize what the word meaps that
! is applied to your last school enter
| tainrnent "commencement?" 1t
means that you are now prepared to
study in earnest.
Keep in touch with good books,
read worthwhile things, not as saw
a young woman doing in a railway
station not a long time ago. She
was trailing UP and down the sta
ton reading diligently. On one turn
she came quite close to me and l
read the title on the book. 1t was
"Junie's Love Test" Right then ]
placed her as a feather-brain. There
Is so much good and thoroughly
thrilling, entertaining fiction that
| it is a useless waste of time to reao
such trash.
Lovingly,
Dear Aunt Julia;
Trees are budding,
Flowers are blooming
Springtime answers,
am coming"
The long cold winter days are over and
nature has appeared in all her glory. The
trees are living mass Of green while the
birds sing and chirp from limb to limb.
1 hope all the Cousins enjoy nature as
I do. There seems to be something pure
and heavenly in birds, music and flowers.
Most all the Cousins have subject. Space
is too limited for me to write about all my
favorite poets, orators, authors, trees and
flowers. For yard flowers 1 have cannas,
chrysanthemums TALL colors) nasturtiums,
zinnias, marigolds, hoEyhocks, dianthus.
alyssum, asters, poppies, petunias and
coleus.
Petunias and nasturtiums make lovely
beds and porch boxes.
L mink OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES are 30 ulCe 1Ot
cut flowers in the fall and winter after
other flowers have gone.
Henry W. Grady and Sidney Lanier are
among my favorite poets and orators.
They had such high and noble ideas. Good
books and magazines are not only amusing
and entertaining, but are instructive and
educational also. Through books we can
visit the mountain cabin, the city man
over oceans to foreign lands. 1 have read
BLACK Rock" Eagles Mate shepherd
of the Hills" "Eudora," 1.-THE Clansman.' -
Eugene Aaaram," Under the Willow" and
numerous others.
think "St. Elmo" and "Jane Eyre"
among the best. edna EarA" and "Jane
Eyre" had such high and noble characters.
They set good example of resisting evil
temptations. Would like to receive letters
from Cousins of different states. VIII try
and answer all. If am welcome will call
again. Love and best wishes to all.
