FOR THE BOYS AND RIRLS
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins As the
world has turned Il cold shoulder to us people
I'd nSrth Alabama recently by permitting
this cool wave to dash i'll upon us, l have
decided rx seek refuge through the council.
Perhaps l may find warm reception in
some real pretty girls heart. l am sure
You will allow me to enter, as l am only
twenty-five years of age, and so far nave
failed % find my IDEAL Thinking perhaps
she might be occupying some coy little
corner in some of the sister states, l de-
sire TO extend to all the fairer an OPP
portunity to write a real jolly, fun-loving
boy. Oh l don't mean that l am an eX-
tremist or a fanatic along the line of pleas
ure, but only in proportion to its relation TO
real life" After all, life is just life, sub
ject to be viewed from different angles by
different people, eaching having their indl-
vidual ideas to what really constitutes
life. Just as boys are boys, yet all boys
not alike. As example, | am not
Bill Snow, as perhaps you know, or Luther
Huff, but just me-, and that's enough. And
enough again I say Of this old austere cuff
which some are continually giving the girls
with reference to using cosmetics. Its
nothing more nor less than a duty which
every girl owes herself and to the oppo-
sta sex to improve her beauty in every
way possible Now you have heard what |
nave Sdlu. II u. IN. WIN me IL YOU pA1Itl
your lips red. Should it add to your beauty,
| am it's not amisS. Just wait a mo-
ment and listen to this: Just use freely OF
powder and paint; it's easy for some 10 get
married, while others can't So it's lmma-
terial with me as to whether you wear long
tresSes or Il French bob. TO find some one
who will say yes is my job, and so far,
it has been difficult task; $50, if there is
anyone who reads this who has the slightest
little creepy feeling about the region OF
your heart that you would like to write,
just bundle up your photo with your letter
and start them on their way to
(MR.) MAX HEAD.
AZ. s.-Inclosed is my bit for the baby.
Dear Aunt Julia: Would you please find
Rom for this bit of verse? Perhaps some
may like it;
Smile, and the way is clearer;
Smile, and the world seems dearer;
Smile, and you shame the sneerer;
Smile-its lot Of fun.
Smile, for the worlds a mirror
Smiles for the smiler, leers for the leerer,
Joys for the joyous, fears for the fearer.

I'm inclosing bit for Inez. Affection
Gtely your niece and cousin,
(MISS) EUNICE MARTIN.
CASTOR, S. C.
Dear Aunt Julia and All: Will You please
admit Georgia girl into your happy band
this rainy Sunday evening? I cant 20 10
Sunday school, and I'm lonesome, for l 60
every Sunday evening. I am just girl
from the country, and like it fine. l work
in the field in the summer, for l baye but
brother, and he is married, so you see
there is no one to help but girls. L have
light hair, blue eyes and wear glasses and
have fair complexion, and my age-oh, l
will let you all guess, but don't guess over
twenty-five under twelve. Yes, 1 use
powders, but not paint. My hair is long. l
must say I am with Miss Cleta Jackson, but
those who want their hair bobbed can have
it. Everyone to their taste. All you boys
(MIss) OLA GALLEY.
Alto, Ga.
Dearest Aunt Julia and All: Here I come
again, knocking to get inside out of the
rain. for it's raining where we live, and it's
so lonesome, too, and we can't go to Sun
day school. l just thought I'd come and
visit all of my cousins. Aunt Julia, l can't
thank you enough for printing our letter
that Bertha and l wrote some time ago, and
! want to thank the cousins who wrote me.
Almost everyone takes a subject, but | fear
I couldn't do any Subject justice. Ideal
Husbands and Wives and lots of other sub
1ects have been discussed, and they're real
interesting, too. Come on, cousins, and
tell us of the worst fright you ever received,
I've been scared lots of times, so / can't
think of the worst, and III play shut-mouth
while some of the rest talk. Almost all of
you have bobbed hair, cousins. Why do you
want to cut your hair off, when you can't
grow it back in minute? My hair is long,
and | wouldn't have it bobbed for anything.
But it's everyone's privilege to do az they
please, 1 suppose, as this is a free country.
I wish more of the cowboys and girls would
write, for I enjoy their letters very much.
Some one may laugh at me for saying girls,
speaking about cowboys and girls, but lis
ten! some girls can attend the stock well
boys. IL close. Aunt julia please don t
kick me out, Ill not come any more if you
say (MISS) MAMIE GALLEY.
Alto, Ga.
Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will Won
let me now come again for another chat"
l enjoyed my other visit very much 3Slip
over, girls, and give me a seat by dear
Aunt Julia. ass ! want to thank her for
printing my other letter I also want to
thank the cousins 1 have heard from for
their kind letters. 1 certainly do enjoy
reading and writing letters. How many of
you cousins like a lonesome rainy Sunday
I surely don't. / like for the sun to shine
on Sunday, so I can go to Sunday school;
but this has been one more rainy Sunday.
All of you cousins who will please write
to me, and all who can send a photo of
yourself. I will try to answer all letters
received I will go before l break the rules.
If I am admitted this time I'll come again.
WIN love 10 hli your cousin,
(AIISS) BERTHA GALLEY.
Alto, Ga.
Dear Anntie and Cousins; What are all
you cousins doing now for pastme? Going
to school, I guess, for almost everyone has
started to school down here. | think every
hoy and girl should strive to get an educa-
ton, so that they can go through life with
out having to work hard, And another
thing, if you have education You can
have any place to work that you wish and
any job almost; and il You don't have an
education some one else has to pick the job
for you, and YOU don't have the pleasure OF
doing so. And L hope that I go on to
S&ool until have completed my educa ton
- ELL. as my letter is getting very lengthy
guess had better get to studying Latin
4v do you all like it? l have black
ibobbedl hair and am a brunette. [ am
sweet sixteen. ! am sending 5 cents for
the baby or Inez. If You want 10 hear
from Georgia girl, let your letters and
cards fly to
(MISS) vERNA MAE WELDON.
