Dear Auntie and Cousins: Here come
| tapping at the door. Wonder il I'll be ad'
United? This is my first attempt to join
Aunt Julia'sS council. but have been en-
| joying the letters for four years.
How many Of you cousins like cheerful
people? l for one. Oh. cheerful people!
| think it is the best way of praisinS
the sunshine to say that It is almost as
bright and inspiring as the presence Oh
CHEEKY people. On cloudy. rainy, colo
and dismal day, a CHEEKY person makes
a room and a day bright in spite of the
| suns not shining at all. The more you
think OF it.. the more you see how won
derfully alike the two are-cheerfulnesA
and sunshine. When a cheerful person goes
into room where r person is ill., out
of sorts, they brighten up just as if
| sunbeam had poured in. g.
II there was only a sure recipe for max
ing cheerful Eerson, how glad We should
all be to try 1t! How thankful we should
all be to do good like sqnshine-to cheer
everybody up aud help everybody along-to
have everybodys face brighten the minute
We came in sight.
Men work very hard to earn few
| things, but how much greater thing it
would be for a man to have his neighbors
know and love his face because it is fun
Of kindly good cheer.
How many of you cousins agree with me?
1 can hear YOU cousins say, 81 bet she's
an old maid" Oh, no, not quite that old.
Only eighteen. Won't describe myself as

to hear from you cousins from different
states.

All good wishes to Aunt Julia and the
cousins.

Dear Aunt and Cousins: Many thanks 10
you, Aunt Julia, for printing my letter.
I'm going to write a few words ON faults
this time.
He who bossts of being perfect is perfect
In folly. L never did see a perfect horse or
A perfect man, and never shall till two

Lifeless, faultless.'' OF dead men we
should say nothing but good; but as for the
