| Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please open the door for three little Georgia

| for this is the third time we have written,
| but were never admitted. We, like most of

would like city life best. How many Of you
| cousins like to go to school? We do, although
! Annie and Lucy don't go. We think it is SO
4
umn in the dear Journal We think all of
| the cousins should have subjects to write on,
! but we won't take one this time. How many
| of the cousins like flowers? We surely do,
| read good books, stories and agazines
| We do, and think everyone should read a
| lot. Our favorite books are Tempest and
| Sunshine" "Pollyanna," "Stella Roswell
and "Blunders Of a Bashful Man." Will
| some Of the cousins lend the book, "St.
Elmo" to Annie? Please write first. She
| will return the favor in any way she can.
Who has our birthdays? Annie's is the 23d
Ethel's is the Sd of December, We will
| leave our ages for some good guesser to
| guess-between ten and twenty. To the
first one who guesses or ages correctly we
| will write. Everybody write to three lonely
| little Georgia girls We will answer all
mail received. Please write separately. We
| could write bushels, but we might break
| auntte's rules. Your new nieces and cousins,
| ANNIE DANIELS.
LUCY DANIELS.

| as long as Aunt Julia won't run me out
| in the cold. Say, cousins, let's try to get
Aunt Julia to hang her picture right up
| there (meaning the head of the column)

read the letter box? Suppose some OF you
| folks know me, 1 spent a gay after
! noon here with the cousins quite while
