Dear Aunt Julia: Never before have I
attempted writing to a paper, although I've
otten wanted to. was always afraid !
mlght take up space that could be of more
benefit If used for anothers letter. But
now M real grown girl and have spent
lois or time thinking, and since reading so
many letters from the cousins, / desire to
say Just little, IL l may. noticed in a
recent issue Arie Galloway was ''begcine''
for the poor little birds. How nice of you,
Are, to think of them! L can't see why
boys enjoy killing the dear, pretty little
tnlnss. | believe our good Father made the
birds and flowers to make our world pleas

De gloomy place? I'm glad I was made
TO love the woods, the brooks, birds and
flowers, and I'm glad I am living in the
dear old southland" where they are all
TO be found. OF course, there's advantages
IN the city that can't be had on the farm,
and naturally, some like the city best
but somehow the crowded streets and white
lights make me lonesome. 1t all seems
10 call for something that isn't there
Really, it's very little I've ever STAYED
IN city. Maybe I'd like it better than 1
think [ would II 1 should live there a while
Some people even say there isn't any nice
decent people in our large cities, but l think
that all wrong. I'd surely hate to believe
that way. OF course, we must admit we
nave bad folks in all cities, and countries
100 but we do have good ones everywhere,
100 surely we do. It's such a bad habit
to talk about the faults of others so much
II we only knew just what our brother
mas to go through we'd sympathize with
MIN many times rather than scorn him
ike the phrase, There's little good in
the worst of us, and little bad in the
best of u.s. A few things 7 love most
are Kindness, truthfulness, honesty and
music; and few things / dislike are Cos
siping' deceltfulness, intemperance and sell
1lshness. Please, won't some one or all of
you cousins write me long letters? Winter
Is the most lonely time to me, unless l am
gong to school, and the things that help
me pass away time are reading and writing
letters. l delight in both. I think it would
De awful nice to send Aunt Julia a post
card shower Christmas. Much love to every
one, FORA H0WSE.

my irst attempt to write 1 will not take
