Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Afte
reading the letters discussing powder ant
| paint I couldn't resist the temptation t.
write any longer. Come, boys what's tn
matter? Don't you like to see pretty girls
l think anyone should do all they can t.
improve their looks. 1t is matter of
| girls personal preference to use powde
and paint. I don't bink anyone has any
pride if they don't use powder, and, further
more. I do not think that girl SHOULD
| cease to be pretty after she is married, bu
should dress up and always be hubby
| sweetheart.
L attend high school and very fond o.
debates. Cousins, isn't Aunt Julia dea
| to allow us space in The Journal for let
ters? Well, boys, if you object to powde
and paint, what do you think of woman
| suffrage? l think it is the greatest amend
| ment in the constitution. L expect I hat
: better 60. 1 would like to correspond will
! all of you cousins, so write to
