Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Oh, how we
wish that we could claim you as our real
aunt! You are such a dear lady you have
half the world in love with you. We know
you are so knd-hearted you just simply
can't refuse to publish our little letter. We
have just finished reading the cousins let
tiers and they were so interesting we just
had to come in and chat q while. We love
to read when the cousins tell of their homes
and country. Guess that you all would like
to know where are from. Why, dear old
South Carolina, of course. where the CORN
and cotton grow and where we have good
schools. Just like most of the cousins. we
live on the farm, and like farm life fine.
The whippoOrwilIs our best friends
They sit in the woods and talk to all the
night long. SO to let US know they
haven't forgotten us.
Barlow SAYS Now let me tell the girls
what another hoy thinks about that much
discussed weapon of the toilet tools" 1
say let girls have all the powder they want
and don't say word about it; but L hope
the time will come when they will not use
too much and will not paint at all, unless
of course, they want to get job painting
signs, etc. Then it would be all right. !
have never heard fellow say that paint
improved a girls looks. but have heard
many say they could not see why so many
girls use it. when it always makes them
look ridiculous. Why, not very long ago l
w OH wi on oh
and it was not accidentally put there,
either. AS for; the boys, they are worse in
their extremes than the girls SO far as |
can tell, but most of them are so stubborn
that talking about it does not do any good.
Sure. know it is bad for boy to
smoke cigarettes as it is for a girl, but
what girl wants TO puff just because so
many boys do? We will not describe our
selves; will only say that Barlow is twenty
and Vera sixteen. We guess that we had
better be going or Aunt Julia will not print
our letter il we break the rules. Now let
the letters and cards come to two new
cousins.
