dear lady to give us girls and boys 50
good a chance to make friends. I'm sure
you all will agree with me. / have already
gained one pen friend through this depart
ment, and wish to gain many more. The
ideal husband or wife seems to be the lead

Dear Aunt Julia: | am coming back to
see you all before we forget each other.
have not had very much time to read the
cousins letters until the last week or two.
So you see | am about to get behind time
All this was on account of sickness, but |
make up time now. Come on, you
Florida cousins. | like to read your letters.
l see some from Lakeland. ! was down
there last fall, visiting my uncle who lived
in Plant City. | had a grand time while
there and think Florida is beautiful place
for home but give me Carolina for my
home. | won't say that l couldn't make
any other state my home, but yet l am
very foolish about the place in which |
live. 1 know there are other places just
as good and better, | suspect You cous-
ms should have visited me this summer and
We would have gone swimming and nave
eaten peaches N.Y. and melons to finish
up with. l am thinking is is going to be
too cool to go to the pond any more this
year. l went in bathing last year in Octo-
Der, but l doubt it this time Well, if you
cousins were here now we would eat soup
pernongs. We ought to be SO very thank
full that we have all these things put be-
fore us to enjoy, and the pleasure we get
from these blessed gifts is excessive, 80
let's remind ourselves Of these things as
we 20 along and not forget G0d as he SET
these gifts before us SO let our enjoyment
be for the benefit of our souls much so
as for the body and mind.
