AUNT JULIA.

in for a while? l won't stay long, FtrsT
l want to thank auntie for printing my other
letter. l received ever so many nice let
tiers and answered every one Of them. Auntie.
here is a poem, will you please print it.
THERE'S A TOWN"
There's town called Don't you worry"
On the banks of River Smile,
Where the Cheer-up and Be-happy,
Blossom sweetly all the while,
Where the Never-grumble flower
Blooms beside the fragrant Try,
And the Ne'er-give-up and Patience,
Point their faces to the sky.
In the valley of Contentment,
In the province of Twill,
You will find this lonely city,
At the foot of No-fret hill.
There are thoroughfares delightful
In this very charming town,
And on every hand are shade trees,
Named the Very seldom-frown.
Rustic benches quite enticing
You'll find scattered here and there,
And to each a vine is clinging,
Called the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Everybody there is happy,
And is singing all the while,
In the town of Don'tyou-worry,
On the banks Of River Smile.
Now don't you cousins think this is a
beautiful poem? L certainly do. How many
of YOU like music? Oh. I'm almost sure
you all do. for don't who could keep
from it. When you consins have nothing
else to do, write to lonely West Virginia
girl, who will answer every letter. An old
cousin, (Miss) ALICE HUGHES.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: As the
evening shadows kiss the west. l have made
up my mind t. write you again. How many
of you cousins tried to live this year as you
thought you should Can you realize that in
one short month, 1923 will be numbered
with the past? All its gay joys and sor-
rows will be folded among the leaves of the
book of faded flowers and vanished dreams.
1t has been a happy year for some, while
others have experienced the deepest Of sor-
rows ever known. I've been about on the
level but I've learned years ago that our
paths were INST spread with rugs or comforts
and that our cup of happiness doesn't fill
suppose we must first taste the bitter in or
der to enjoy the sweet Let us try to- for
get the unpleasant things. We ought to be
patient in tribulations. Let us keep ouI
face toward the sun and when the sun goes
down, turn your face to the stars. They.
like the promise cf God, will never cease to
shine, to cheer and comfort. Live each day
MS nearly right as you can. by doing this
you may learn to live a better life for each
day is little life and our whole life is but
a day repeated. Love to all.

Dear Aunt Julia and Friends: Please open
the door and let me in. l have come from
sunny Florida. How many of you have never
seen a snow? There are four children in
our family who have never seen a snowfall.
I will tell you all a simple way to make
candy at home or school, now that Christmas
is not far off. Probably some teacher
would like to let her pupils make candy
at school. Each pupil brings 10 cents and
invests the amount in powdered sugar
Each D1pil brings
Use only the white of the egg and moister
sugar to form any shape of candy you may
like to mold when dry. You have good
candy, by simple recipe. You can use
chocolate syrup to dip some Of the candy In
if chocolate drops are preferred. How many
like to put flowers on your cemetery lot? A
simple way to get flowers to live at the
cemetery is to set the plants in pasteboard
box Il oatmeal! boxes until they are
rooted well in the soil. When you wish tC
set them out, dig hole and cut away the
box and place in the hole. Flowers handled
this way will live with good success. Flow

would prove interesting for any of YOU.
