Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will You
again admit two girls from the dear oIo
state of Alabama? As we have written he
fore-and thank Aunt Julia for printing our
last letters-We do not think it necessary 10
describe ourselves, but will say we are stli
merry school girls, in high glee. We are IN
our second year high school, and our great
est ambition is to get a good deucatlon ana
thereby prepare ourselves to meet life, with
its great responsibility. AS most of the
cousins write on subject, we will do like
wise, and take "Frendship' for our SUP
ject We think friendship the greatest
blessing in life Think for moment
what life would mean without friends; the
many lonely hours to spend in school ana at
home. OF course there are many ways TO
form friendship. We learn to read and en-
JOY good books. There is a lasting TREND
ship, and whea we form friendship in school
we will never, never forget. viii You allow
us space to give a short sketch of our own
lives just to show you what this WORD
"friendship' has meant to us? Five years
ago /, Emma, moved from Georgia, and one
Of the first girls | met was my dear chum.
We have been in school together and shared
each others joys and sorrows. We have no
doubt that our friendship will last through
