my hair Mother says it looks like gold
when the sun shines on it, but it is little
darker in the shade. like TO read the
cousins descriptions Of themselves and imag-
inc how they look. You might call me a
half city and half country girl for l spend
the summer in the country and the winter

have been here at our country home for
top OF very high hill, so we can see far
away for miles around u.s. l like beautiful
