Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
let an old cousin join you for a few moments
chat! l have been writing to the Letter
Box. off and on for five years. l was fiji
teen years OF age when my first letter was
printed, and | can say l have derived much
pleasure and benefit from the interesting let
tiers of the cousins. AS most all take a sub
Ject in writing. l will do the same. I'm not
much OF writer as you all know by previ-
Gus letters, but | would like to say few
words In regard to "Optimsm.'' Does any
one like a pesSimist? No, not much indeed
yet there are so many people like that in
the world, people who are always complain
ing that Providence has handed them moth
ing but Ill luck. They go about with a LONG
lace and forever argue that this old world
IS an awful disagreeeable place in which to
live. But why be like that? This world IS
beautiful up here, God made it beautiful. Oh
there'S so many things to enjoy. The green
trees and grass and beautiful flowers and
ever SO many other gifts of nature in sum-
mer. In winter tits still pretty, when COW
cred in snow or ice. Oh, the beautiful
drifted snow! what could be purer? What
/ have mentioned are material things They
are here always, for. every one who will
rich and poor to enjoy-you don't have ia
be- wealthy to be happy and cheerful. Life
IS mirror, f you frown at it, it frowns
back; if YOU smile. it returns the greeting.
SO whatever Your fate is. learn to smile and
after a while you will really find pleasure
in being an optimist.
"a laugh is just like music. it fingers in
the heart, and where it's melody is found
the ills of life depart and happy thoughts
come crowding its joyful notes to greet. A
laugh is just like music, for making living
sweet"
Cousins, I want to ask a favor of you.
want to make a cousins quilt and l would
be glad for all the girls who will. to send
me piece of cotton goods large enough for
3-inch square. ! certainly will appreci-
ate it if you will do me this favor I still
live in the country and enjoy the beautiful
out-of-doorS. I'm lover OF poetry. Best
wishes to dear aunty and all the cousins.
Sincerely. NETTIE FREY.
