Christmas. 1t seems the best line
of the year to me.

If [ may step in for a few mo
ments' chat, I will tell Coda M
Frey and Bonnie Adams that then
letters were good and beg them tt
come again soon. And I want tt
know what has become. of Frank
GRAY and John Latham. DeAlvs
Harris, your letter was another COOS
one. 1, too, know girls who leave
"mama" all the work to do while
they 90 off to have good times, ant
right then don't know what a goo(
time is. | know some girls who are
ASHAMED to be seen at work, and
| know some who are ashamed not II
be at work, and I know some wh'
had rather be primping' and in
crowd of silly young people talk
| ing and laughing than to be doin'
anything else, and [ know some Wh'
would rather be doing anything els
than that; would rather be readlni
good books. I know persons VIII
have lot of ups and downs in thei
paths, but are always as cheerful
as can be. I know some who haV
no trials, you may say, who thinl
| life is a failure and are as gloom,
as can be.
I love to be off to myself near
large crowd watching them an
reading their character, Some lool
so happy and free, while others lool
so sad and lonely, and some lool
friendly and approachable, Whh
others look scornful and proud AM
some of the proud ones are owing S
much they can never pay out o
debt, and some had rather beg thai
work and seem to think it an honor
With best wishes to Aunt JuIl
