Aunt Julia to be so nice TO help us in this
way. Cousins. here is a short paragraph of
Admiral Dewey and the Battle Of Manila
Bay:
The miracle Of the battle was the A.
complishment Of a destiny long toreshad-
owed. The logic Of the history Of the ad-
vancement Of the victorious and the degra-
dation Of the, defeated nation" Admira
Dewey was the embodiment of American
ma nhood and the enlightenment Of his pro-
tession OF arms that analysed and applied
the lessons Of warfare. and had at md
the resources of science and the accom- plish-
: nlent of the arts of warfare. He took the
chances, won the victory and deserved the
glory -, '..-'

Hello, auntie and cousins! May step in
for little chat this sunny afternoon? 7
will promise not to stay long. Move over
just a little and let me have seat by
Lola, for 1 surely enjoyed her letter. 1
will not describe myself. as l have written
before. / made some very dear pen friends
through the Letter Box have just fin
ished reading the interesting letters of the
other COUSINS so I conldn t resist the temp
tation to write. 1, like most OF the other
cousins, live in the country, and wouldn' t
exchange for city life at all. There is moth
ing I enjoy better than roaming through
the foods, gathering wild flowers and lis
tening to the little birds singing their
praises to God. l will not say anything
about powder and paint, as l think that
has been discussed enough. 1 think both all
right If not, used to the extreme. 1 use
some powder. but do not paint. Cousins,
don't you think that a badge with the let
ters A. J. C. would be nice for Council?
Come on cousins what do you say? Listen.
cousins! I am gonng to start me name
sake album. would be glad to receive the
photo OF all named Flora win. Write your
name ana address below each one. When
1 get my album full l will write each one.
Now, cousins, don't you think Aunt Julia
The dearest aunt in the world? Look!
What = frOwn But I sm going now. 1
thank you for my little chat. l have had
a nice time. My age is somewhere be-
tween sixteen and twenty. TO the one guess
ing right T will send my photo. All you
cousins who care to write to jolly, curly
headed girl, just address
FLORA MAY.
