All Dumb Things"

Rules
p No unsigned letter printed
No letter written on both sides OF
paper printed.
All letters not to exceed $50 to
200 words.
Dear Children:
You are improving in your letters,
but there are one or two mistakes
that you make constantly and I'm
going to call them to your attention
feeling that you want to know
when things are not just right.
For instance, you will write a
sentence something like this: Il live
in the country. But l like city
life" You should have written, Il
live in the country, but l like city
life" In other words, a comma
should be placed before the word
"but," and the word but should
be written with small, not a cap
ital, letter.
Many Of you start your sentences
with a small letter. All sentences
should begin with capital letter.
Bear these suggestions in mind,
won't you?
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
