- Dear Children: I received a little
booklet the other day telling in a
most interesting manner the story of
the American Indian. The story in
cluded the names of the months,
and many interesting facts concern
ing our early Indians.
With the thought in mind that
you will find this story as interest
ing as L did, I am going to give it
to you serially; that is. once a week
you will get bits of this history, and
want you to write me what you
think of it.
My interest dates back to my baby
days. When my father was a boy
he lived in a section of Georgia
where there were Cherokee Indians.
He learned their language and much
about their mode of life. He was
very fond of these Indians and when
was very small girl 1 would de-
YOUR his stories about them and he
taught me a little of their language.
Raymond Sanchez, l wonder if you
could spare me two more of the ar
row heads? I would certainly appre-
ciate them. Lovingly.
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May enter

Hello, everybody! VIII you welcome an.
other Alabama school girl into your happy
band of readers? l wonder what all of the
cousins are doing for pastime l go to
school, and like it fine. / see most of the
cousins take a subject, but l will not take
a subject this time, as l am in a hurry
| often see letters from this state, but don t
know any of the cousins. l would like to
get photos of all the readers. They write
such good letters. Who has my birthday,
April 20? l am sweet sixteen and am in
the tenth grade. l am a little, motherless
girl. l keep house for daddy and my broth
ers. Mother has been dead seven years. J
was only a tiny tot but l still remember
her. She left ten children and a husband
to mourn her loss. 1t surely was sad to give
her up, but we all must give up our par
ents some day, and we must be good and
kind to them, for they can't be with us
always. Daddy is growing old. l try to be
al good to him as l can be. He still goes
anywhere he wants to and works every day.
When l was only twelve years old my sis'
ter married and left me to keep house for
daddy. l didn't know anything about house,
work, and l learned myself. Please send
ne the following songs: "Good-by. Every.
1ody,o IN Get Married Today" Tho
Lips That Touch Liquor Shall Never Touch
Mine. " | will return the favor in any way
can. l hope my letter will he printed,
as l want those songs. I must be going
before l overstep the rules, if l haven =
already done it.
On Monday I wash my dollies' clothes,
On Tuesday smoothly press them,
On Wednesday ] mend their little hose,
On Thursday neatly dress them,
On Friday play that they have taken i'll,
On Saturday something or other,
On Sunday 1 say, "Dollies, sit still
And go to church with your mother"
