Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May come
in for few minutes chat and sit by the
lire! 1t is rather cool out here, so hurry
and open the door. Oh, how 1 wish could
claim you as my real aunt, foN you are such
a dear woman you have halE the world in
love with you. l know you are SO kind
hearted you just simply can't refuse to
print my little ''ole" letter. I like to read
letters from other states, and am especially
fond Of far-off friends. Cousins, if any of
you have the following songs, will you
please send me copy of each? Tired of
Me" and Tuck Me to Sleep in My Old
'Tucky Home" l will not describe myself,
as L think You would like me better with
out a description, and will leave my age
for you to guess. 1 am between eighteen
and forty-five. But l am by no means an
old maid, and even If I live to be one, old
age is honorable, although old maids are
abominable. l expect, if the truth were
known, there would be lots of old bachelors
writing to the corner as young boys, and if
the world were to give a prize for the ones
who smoke the most cigars, it would be to
old bachelors, for they have to have some
amusements to while away the time and
make the hours short. AS for the old maids
they can sit in the corner and piece quilts
| think my letter is getting long enough, so
VIII bid You all adieu. Your new cousin,
MISS ELIZABETH REYNOLDS.
