Tor once anyway. / have real black hair
Drown eyes and medium complexion wifi
natural rosy cheeks. and as for NV ace I
am ABOUT twenty-five years old. Not an Old
nau YET VINO has my birthday, Octo-
DER 81 was thinking of taking sub
Ject this time, but was afraid | couId NOT
do it Justice Will say a few words On
nome. | think it is such wonderful bless.
ing 10 nave home, though it be q poor
nome; 1t S better than none. Just think of
the people who have no real home TO 90 to
from their days work, Just a place whore
they eat and sleep. And home is place
Wnen the days work is done Won can rest
in any way you like to- l think every one
should try TO make home beautiful with
los of flowers. They make home seem
50 different than If there were no flowers
m great lover of flowers and there ia
nothing | enjoy any better than attending
to flowers, and see them grow They
prlghten up a place and every one likes
them How many of you cousins like to
cook and keep house? | like cooking if I
cipcs are cOcoanut cake and iotato salad
There are three CT us girls siN we take it
week about in the kitchen, cooking and
washing. | believe in helping mother
out all we can. so she will not have so much
to worry abogt / know of some girls who
| do not help their mother much and seem to
thlnk only of good time. And | believe
such girls will receive their reward for that
some day OF course, there are none who
do too much for their parents. who have
done all their lives for their children. l en-
Joy having nice time well most any
girl. but | don tt want to go to the extreme
Guess there's lots of you young people
working in the fields now. | have been
working quite while, and I don't think it
hurts me very much. only helps to tan my
complexion. We farmers here in Moore
county raise cotton, corn, tobacco and lots
of other nice things also. l like the farm
because ! am an outdoor person. Another
thing, We have so many good, wholesome
vegetables to eat. | surely am depending
on, our watermelons and muskmelons so
much. Guess will be getting ripe mel
ans soon. l believe almost all the cousins
like to read. l surely do. 1 have read lots
