Of everything. Well, L see that the Ideal

patton. that doesn't matter so much, but

Now, girls. this is the kind of husband
L want, aud If L get this kind, | will be
perfectly satisfied Come on, girls and boys,
and let's see what kind of husbands and
wives You want. How are the crops in the
different states? The wet weather has al
most ruined the crops around here. | will

US this beautiful thought:
"A FRIEND"
garden was the greatest friend I
ever had. My life was full Of sorrow and
my heart was sad.
A strange thing it may seem, but through
that gardens wiles my tears ceased falling,
and my face again wore smiles.

with delight. ] weeded it and by my toll,
kept it from blight.
L thought | made the garden then

that it made me-
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have
not been in your jolly circle for some time,
but l guess you all remember my visits,
Tor L have been in your midst twice before.
want to say "hurrah'' for Jack Guest, of
Alfalfa, Ala, and ask him to write again
Also Miss Nada Reed and Miss B. Adams.
Come again, your letters were just fine.
l enjoy reading all the letters, also all
the poems. l think them all very nice.
L most of the letter writers take
subject, but L have been out for some
time, L will not take one this time. but If
l were, it would be Health and Happi-
ness l think those are the grandest
things know. Well, l had better go be-
is summers, have light brown, bobbed hair,
blue eyes and fair complexion. If any
of you cousins wish to write to country

(MISS) LOLA HARTIN,
Oaky Streak, Ala.
Dear Aunt Julia: | do think the letters
are getting more interesting every week.
Day by day in every way Aunt Julia
is getting better and better. Mamie Hicks,
you are right part of the way, but | think
further than you say. think girl should
be careful and keep in good company,
but l don't want to see her get too pre-
else. Now, boys, don't think that it won't
bother you to be in bad company, for l
know it will. | don't claim to know every
thing, but | do know that much. l also
think girls should help their mothers as
long as they are with them for we cannot
always have mother with us. AS for me, l
don't like house work and would not
like to have it to do always. l am glad
that L do not have to keep house for
think girls have duties in business, etc.
as well as keeping house. Let's hear from
all OF the Cousins about a girls duty.

Dear Aunt Julia; enjoyed so much the
letters | received from the cousins. | think
these verses ere beautiful: 10 put our
heaven off until after we are dead is 10
miss it all along the way.
We live but in the present,
The future is unknown;
tomorrow is a mystery
Today is all your cwn
The chance that fortune lends to ny
May vanish while we wait
So spend your lfe's rich treasure
Before it is 100 late
The tender words unspoken,
The letters never sent
The lons-fo gotten messages
The wealth of love unspept-
for these some hearts are breaking:
For these some loved ones wait;
80 snow them that You care for them
Betore 1t is too late
Here Is five cents for Inez. Hoping to
hear from all you cousins and anti
niece ard cousin -
