arate letters.
Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: l
have, for a long time, been thinking
about writing to the letter box. but
inst now have decided to write.
Dear cousins, each and every one
should write on a particular subject
and not just describe yourselves. L
am writing on a subject. 1t is THE
ID I,o 7trr1 I y
gale, this prince of singers is clad
in sombre hues. While it is known
chiefly as an expert imitator of
sounds and of the songs of other
birds, yet the hooking bird has
marvellous song of. it's own, a med
ley of chirps, MARBLES and trills,
which is indescribable. Like most
wonderful songsters. it often sings
at night, especially if there be a full
moon. Its nest, a bulky, inartistic
affair of twigs, grasses, leaves, etc,
with from four to six blush green
eggs, is built in bushes and low
trees. Its insect food makes it a
bird of great economic value to man.
Now dear Auntie, [ will be very
thankful to you if you will print my
letter. If any of you cousins have
the songs, Charlie Brooks" and
Lord Thomas and the Brown Girl"
please send them to me. I have
some good magazines and will eX-
change for the songs. Please write
to a lonesome girl.

guesses is sure for a snap shot.
Come on, Florida kids; the other
states are getting ahead of us.
