Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Are all
cousins welcome? l have long been a reader
of the dear old Journal but have seen only
one letter from this part of Cullman county.
and it was from two little girls whom
know personally. l certainly do enjoy the
many letters, also Dorothy Dixs talks. l
have just been wondering il Claire George
Neal. OF Williston, Fla, will ever find his
ideal girl:' Yes, George, there are few
grs in the world like the one you described
hut do you think YOU would ever find one
that could measure up to her Ideal? %
Please do not be offended at my words but
l have seen several boys while wanting their
sweetheartS and girl friends to be so much

life. | truly hope YOU are not this way,
George, and from your letter I do not be

doing any more harm than the boy would,
and vice versa. There is just one Heaven
for us all, and just one way TO get there,
so it seems to me that it behooves a boy to

just the same al it does girl. ] have met
n few ideal boys and girls too in my
short life. and | believe that if all of us
would try to live as some ones ''ideal,"
this old world would be much better place
TO live in. ] am afraid some of the cousins
are going to be disappointed in finding
their lifemate as there ares so few ''ideals"
in this old world of sin and strife. A few
days ago some one asked for the song. it's
