Affectionately,
AUNT JULIA.

OF the cousins i've on a ldrDl, anu
I like farm life best. l only have
one sister and one brother. Both
younger than and both in school.
Now what do you cousins do for
pastime?
My sister and I keep house for my
father and grandfather. Our mother
has been dead Ia years, grandmother
died in 1919. I play the organ, cook,
scrub, wash, iron, sweep yards, sew,
attend to the chickens and COWS,
work with my flowers and help on
the farm, so you see L haven't any
too much play time. You cousins
should have been with me yesterday
afternoon. A crowd of us young
folks went to the syrup mill, drank
cane juice, laughed talked and had
a real good time. I live between
two towns, Sumrall and Seminary. 1t
is six miles to Seminary and six to
Sumrall, in the opposite direction;
both small towns.
Bernice Beatty, come again, your
letter was real good. l, too, love ma
ture and her work. I dearly love
music and reading and have read
many good books. Some one asked
for the song, 1.-THE Trail of the Lone
some Pine" I have lost the address.
/ have the song and will send it If
the cousin will send the address.
Well, have certainly enjoyed this
morning, chatting with you cousins.
l think Aunt Julia a grand aunt to
let us have a space in the Journal.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: l

I've started.
Will some one be SO good as to
send me the songs, Take Me Back
to My Old Kentucky Home" and

pretty.
What are you girls doing this
