Dear Children: When drove
through the country this morning
there was a decided tang of fall in
the air and | just thought before
long my children will be gathering
nuts, then there will be the time OF
candy making and popping corn De-
fore the fire in the evening, and It
seemed so pleasant. We should be
so thankful to our dear Lord Tor
giving us each season some lovely
things to do.
In your letters, please tell me
what you plan to do this fall.
Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.

me. l live in town with population over
1000 people. at that town is not so
very large, but it is a sanitary little town.
1t also is very busy little town for its
size. We have eight churches here, lots
of stores, two shoe shops and a theater,
and many other things, but best of all we
have NICE clean, sanitary swimming
pool. People from different places come
to this pool for splash in it, The water
comes from three beautiful springs from
the hills. After it gets into the pool it is
lukewarm. Above the swimming pool is
the Camp Gypsy Land a beautiful camp
for girls. Miss Lucy Wood is the mother
of the camp. The girls while staying at
the camp would take a splash in the pool
every morning. I think it is an ideal
place for girls who desire to go to a sum

Land" are all Just like sisters). 1 go to
