join this happy gang of yours. And this is
my second application for Abundance, too
Aunt Julia, so please don't let the greedy
old wastebasket get this.
So many worthy subjects have been dis
cussed that | am almost at a loss to
what might he A good one. I am glad to see
the paint and powder question waning. One
of the most worthy things to think about is
our duty to our fathers and mothers. so
many children, in their rush for good
time. forget that dear old father and moth
or. too. would enjoy day off occasionally.
hut duty holds them 10 their places. Let's
give them their flowers while they live.
Aunt Julia, I am trying my best not to
break any of your rules this time and I am
hoping to see this in print. I am between
twenty and twenty-six, born and reared or
farm, but am not a farmer, although /
take my hat off to our dear old farmers.
| will answer all letters if it takes me a
year. Looking for plenty OF en-, sincerely.
