FOREST HILL La. BOX IA,
Dear Aunt Julia and All Tr-W eekly
Readers: Win you let me in just few
moments in hope of finding my relatives!
Aunt Julia's department seems to be known
by so many. L will first say I like the
paper. Now If any one will help me to find
my people. oh! how l will appreciate it, as
l want to find them badly. My father was
David Morgan. His people and mother
people are those whom L want to know.
Father had two brothers. Abram and Thorn
as, and had one sister, Halle. My father
adopted in Virginia, near Roanoke %
Norfolk. can't remember the, people who
adopted him; it might have been Rhine
hart, as he spoke of them a great many
times. He left Virginia at the age of TWEEN
ty-one with the intention of going to Geor-
gia to his brothers, when he met my moth
er in Charlotte, Mecklenberg county, North
Carolina. Mother had two alf-sisters. Pol
ly and Susan Anderson. After my mother
moved from there. her mother married a
Glass and moved to Wilkesboro, n. c., and
never heard from them any more. Some OF
them may live at Murfreesboro. Any one
knowing anything of these people or their
children, please write to
MRS. NJ. NJ. ATKINS.

Dear Aunt Julia: I received a perfect
deluge of letters today asking about my
pink morning glory seed. Upon inquiry,
found that letter supposed to have been
written by me was published in your de-
partment 1t is true that l am breeding
these morning glory plants as mentioned in
the letter, well as many other kinds OF
more valuable plants. Everything else in
the letter was true except that these morn
ing glory seed are not for distribution now.
They are not sufficiently well matured yet.
! will have to thank my would-be friends
for this bit of publicity, but l am sorry
that they took it upon themselves to offer
my seed for distribution. l hope no one
will be disappointed in not receiving the
seed, as they doubtless expected to do.
From your old cousin and friend.
OSCAR WOODY.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May come
in again? This seems to be such happy
band Of boys and girls. Many thanks,
auntie, for printing my other letter. Come
on, Georgia cousins; don't let the other
states get ahead of us. Why don't more of
You boys write? Are you too bashful ?
BaShfuness is another term for self-con-
seriousness, which is, of course conscious
ness of self" When you bashful You
are thinking of yourself too much, of what
people are thinking about you, and how you
naturally conscious of self, as it makes a
new appearance in the world. We would
not give much for boy or girl who did not
blush and did not often do so. Physical
nervousness and constituencies OF tempera-
ment may increase ma ural bashfulness Of
youth. But the hes tremedy is to get out
side of self as much AS possible and to start
thinking OF others, and not oneself. Try
speaking slowly. giving little thought to
what you say before You say it, Do not
70 hat ts -
considering you and your appearance. Very
likely they are thinking of themselves or Of
something totally uncGnnected with the
awkwardneSs you may think you are show
ing. Those with the best manners will
recognize youths first social timidity and
aid bashful boy or girl to feel at ease in
every way.
l will leave my age for you all to guess:
it is between fifteen and eighteen. All you
goodlooking boys and girls write to me. l
will answer all letters and cards received.
Lovingly, (MISS) NOLLIE BIDDY.

Dear Aunte, Cousins and Everyone: I
was looking over an old journal the other
day and happened to notice the Letter Box.
The letters were not very interesting (they
were written i'll 1910. They were about
four lines long; there was a description of
themselves and maybe they asked Who has
my birthday, such and such date. But
now they are very, very interesting and !
want us to make it more interesting.
thlnk good way to do this is to select a
subject and then, write on that subject; then
verse. Let's all try this and see how 1t
works.
Auntie, You wanted us to send in some
s4Vject for the contest, so am sending one.
Here goes: Which should a girl marry for,
love or money? Let the girls take the
love" and the boys the money side.
then let everyone who joins send a stamp
to help buy the prize. If you all like this
let me know, so I can send in my letter.
Cousins, want to ask a favor of you and
Aunt julia: All you cousins whose names
start with the letter I'D" send me scrap
Of cloth for my Friendship quilt" I will
work your name and address on the scrao
You send and put it in my quilt, And,
Aunt Julia, l want you to send me scrap
for the center of the quilt. If I have more
than enough for one quilt, will make two.
