Hello Auntie and Cousins! How is
the new year finding you? Happy
l am sure. We are having such
pleasant, warm weather in south
Georgia that it is fine for kodaking,
and we have just returned from a
trip.
You have been showing your diff
ference in opinion on "flapperism."
Well, L think powder is all right,
and if you're pale, a little paint, but
nature gave me the kind that doesn't
come off. Any artistic or serious
minded persons know a blazing face
is cheap and coarse.
[ am sincerely sorry for anyone
who has no higher purpose in life
than "vamping" men, cutting out"
others and carrying fashion to the
extreme. Given this shall pass
away" and it doesn't pay in this
world or make you face eternity
without. fear. Still L believe in be-
ing pleasant and enjoying ones self,
and it can be done unselfishly.
Now that's a sermon for an eight
een-year-old girl, isn't it? But you
see I'm "serious-m minded"
Have any of the cousins the words
to the songs, "Laddie, You're the
Only One Who Loves Me" and
Memories? [ would be glad to
get them. I, like most of you, like
reading. I have read several good
books from the library commission
lately. Would be glad to hear from
all who care to write.

reading "Anne of Green Cables"
and sure do like it. How many Of
the cousins have read it? L think
"Stella Roosevelt" is a fine story.
Who has my birthday, October ID.

ceiVed.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
1 just wonder if you will let
North Carolina boy into your happy
band of girls and boys? Anyway, [
am going to attempt to for my first
time, although I have been a silent
reader of The Atlanta Journal for
some time, and enjoy reading the
letters so much. 1t seems that the
girls have the boys beat in writing
letters to The Journal. OF course,
I enjoy reading the girls letters
better than the boys, anyway. II
Aunt Julia will be kind enough to
print this, there will be one more
boys letter in print.
[ sincerely hope all of you had a
good Christmas and will have a
bright and happy new year.
I am % years old. Ruby Radcliff,
enjoyed your letter. I like most of
you, live on the farm. [ like it.
enjoy riding in my Ford better than
most anything else. I would enjoy
it better though if I had some of
you good-looking girls and boys with
me.
Guess I had better desist. Hoping
to hear from all of you soon. 1 will
answer all mail received. Good bye.
