: My Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
At last I've summoned enough
courage to write to you again. Tn
an old\ cousin; wrote about two
years ago, and was kindly admitted
So please, Aunt Julia, won't you
persuade some one to move OVel
just a wee bit" that / may cal
again, I assure you I won't stay
but for just a few minutes chat as
I'm just a fraction of bit timiC
among strangers, especially Wher
I'm not so sure of my welcome
When I wrote before l received Sc
many letter, even if I'd tried
couldn't have answered them in g
month, although I gained many
gifted correspondents that l valued
very highly. -.., .-
My address was then Lafayette
Ca, and my home is still there, but
I'm now bookkeeping in Dalton, in
a very pretty and neat little town
! about % miles from Lafayette. ]
like my work, and am we'll salts
| fled. On the whole, I think that is
the most essential part, for if any
one is not contented they will not
be very successful in what they're
trying to do, through life I don't
think How many agree? My look
at the hands!
/ Like most Of the cousins, I en-
joy reading. Among the good books
[ have read are: THE Rosary - 'St.
Elmo" "Wildfire' and many others
too numerous to mention. / also
am great lover of flowers and
music.
Aunt Julia, why is it that your
sweet smiling face never appears
at the. top column of the letter box
any more? [ miss it, and am sure
the other cousins are with me.
Listen! I heard one of the cous-
ms say, 81 thought she was timid
among strangers" So before you all
loose confidence in me, I'll be off.
I am IT,. If any of you wish to
write me your letters will be ap-
preciated. Will answer as many as
/ it is. possible for me to do so.
With best wishes to all,
I .*' MARY E. EVANS.

Dear Aunt Julia: Perhaps you've
forgotten me ere this time, for ]
can scarcely realize myself to be
grown into young womanhood since
/ last wrote to you and the cousins,
which has been about five years.
So many things have happened
since that time that L wouldn't
dare try to tell even all the most
interesting. was a school girl
then, but now I'm a school marin. "
I've been in the profession four
years, and have come to love chill
dren very much indeed and too,
I've learned a great deal about
them. They're cunning, and some
very sharp ones, too, l must con-
fess.
I I haven't completed my educa-
ton yet, as T wish to some day,
I was paralyzed when but a child,
and am slightly affected from it
now. The state appropriates fund
for "crippies," and I'm going to
make an effort to get my share of
it, and go away to school next
year. Can't some Of the cousins
go with me. 1t would be pleasure
for you to join me.
7 attended the summer school at
the state normal last summer; en-
joyed it very much. Had the larg-
est student body they've ever had
Q,937).
I. shall be glad to get number
of letters from the cousins.
Lovingly,

Dear~-Aunt u1ia; Knock! Knock
May I come in awhile this nice cool
evening? AS I have made two visits
before, hope I don't bother YOU all
too much.
I have been a reader of the Letter
Box for many years and certainly
do enjoy reading the many nice let
ters from different states. Although
I never was very gifted writer
myself, I think Aunt Julia a nice
little lady to take so much courage
in giving us young folks depart
ment in the dear old Journal.
What do you all cousins do for
pastinae, when not in school? do
all kinds of house. work and field
also. Well, really, keep the house
for my three brothers and grandpa,
which passes time off very quickly.
I live in the country, five miles
from China Grove, n. c., and don't
mind being called a, "tar heel" I
dearly love all kinds of amusements
and sports. We can enjoy ourselves
more in summer than winter, be-
cause we can romp around more
and then it's very much pleasanter
than winter, I think.
I guess all you cousins go to Sun
day school and preaching? I go
when I get a chance and am a mem
Der of the NJ. E. church. I have read

time,
My mother and father are both
dead. l surely can sympathize with
anyone who has lost their parents.
When our mother is dead, our best
friend on earth is gone. We can
never be too good to them. Some
girls won't listen to their mothers,
and go wrong; but I always tried
to, obey mother in all things, which
is eyeryone's duty.
r. I guess you all think I am criti-
Ching, but is just some little advice
from an 18-year-old girl.
I truly hope I haven't tarried too
long. .~.....- ...,~ Il
All who wish to write, see address

Hello, dear Aunt Julia and Cous-
ms! If you will let me come in ana
shake off the drowsy loneliness of
this rainy day. will not stay long
enough to break Aunt Julia's rule.
We should obey the laws Of such a
good woman as Aunt Julia. think
law is one thing all should respect.
If everyone would obey the laws OF
God and our land what a happy and
successful people we would be!
am a great lover of books and
music, though I don't know much
about the latter.
I live in the country of the north
ern section Of Florida, land of sun
shine and flowers" a true name,
