Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Tap. tap,
Please open the door and let me in for a
little chat. know I couldn't find a nicer
bunch of folks anywhere. Rosco, You
surely are a fine writer, so was that hoy
who told the doubling swans to chuck their
girls into the creek for paint and powder
test But that seems too much like cave
man times. Every paper YOU pick up now
a-days has something in 1t about old King
Tut. l wonder if in years hence some one
Of us, Aunt Julia. will be brought out of
our tomb and shown to gaping crowd
IF cousins Think of me laid away sur
rounded, as was Egypt's young king, with
various implements of daily living. There
would be diSinterred for eager eyes my
beautifully designed bath robe and my gold
safety razor. my expensive celluloid soap
box and the carved and enameled comb
and brush with which | had so many CEN
turtles ago to arrange my seven remainin g
hairs BY nv side would be my faithful
emerald studded typewriter. my ruby crust
I'd fountain pen and my sapphire kn0bbed
blue pencil. On a rack at my feet would

my embroidered Regal shoes, and as a
weight upon my linen Swathed chest, would
rest my journaled album. open at page 916,
of the bObbed hair section. King Int
ankhamen had trays of good peaches in
his tomb to last him on his long journey
through the path of the dead. would
thus have dozen northern spy apples, six
square feet OF Aunt JuIia's soft ginger
bread, some corn mullins, ve-gallon
Jug of buttermilk and a juicy Camembert
cheese And on side of the tomb
I hope there will be a solid wall of letters
twelve feet high and three feet thick, all
mine and King Tuts tomb. l haven t
space for a description, although scores of
girls have told me | am quite handsome.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Won
der if YOU will let another little girl from
your merry circle of boys and girls?
l. like most of the Cousins, live in the
country Would not exchange for city life
with any Of the Cousins.
I for one. l am sure most of you all agree
with me. Cousins, isn't Aunt Julia dear
lady for giving us space in the dear CID
journal? Listen, Cousins, l am going to
tell You just how to have Jolly Musical
Party" First, an evening Of music is all
ways enjoyable, and if a few simple games
are played it prevents the ones that cannot
play from feeling left out of it.
Have some one hurriedly play a portion
of ten well-known songs and hymns. Then
h1 nj each slim of OaOpr ana a
pencil and let slim write down the names
of as many songs as he remembers having
heard, and sign his name. Collect and
read aloud The list. The best memory wins
Next distribute slips of paper with Is
numbered lines Have one slip hidden with
the name Of song, such as My Old
Kentucky Home" over There" Upper
ary" Nearer, MY God to Thee" follow
ing each number. Play each number in sue
cession, or rather the chorus of each rum
ber allowing about two minutes after each
chorus for the guests to guess sud write
down the name. When all the tunes have
been played compare the lists with the
slips in the hostess possession. The list
nearest to it in correctness wins.
Award jewharp or a toy flute to the
winners, and let everybody join in singing
a few of the old favorites.
Cousins, try this and just see how much
fun there is in it.
viii not tell you how 1 look, because I
guess all of you remember me, as | have
written once before. The one who guesses
my age will receive a SurprLe box. 1t is
between u and II.
All of You Cousins write to me. I'll try
to answer all cards and letters received.
Love to Auntie and all the Cousins
