Dear Amt Anne and M. BIS:

| Dear Aunt Anne and M. b.
It is interesting to read the nice let
| ters "Aunt Anne" writes for the col
nrn. but I think she would enjoy the
fun of opening and reading Few OF
| Ours. ANYWAY, l feel it my duty to
| write. as personal letter from "Prlm-
rose" received this morning, says
| "Why aren't you helping Aunt Anne In
the M. B. column? You haven't much
to do" Now, if this is not just the
meaning primrose" intended to con-
vey. let her write and tell US SO.
Those of the clan who read the
American Magazine, remember that
the July number contained an ar.ioie
nm enioying hot weather. have peeh
enjoying a hot day. AS soon do
BREAKFAST, I hustled the cream into
the churn. In my hurry, 1orso' 'ne
stopper and the cream was hol w
thick to run out over my sioeS CIV
the floor. / was quick enough not "
lose very much but what nasty hiesS
a little cream can make! Inc julie

stamped, when-fop! Inc ou'.o.

The mornings cooking went OIL pet
+er should have had most OF the
.f+arnoon To cool off in If 1t hadnt
,,on for that letter from primrose
and The American with its M. b.
column. but no help from the hleces'
can't draw a curtain over the
events of our July 3-6. The week-eno
found us with family OF tweiVe'
with extras at some meals. our ceio
bration was sane but full OF ENJOY
ment. All but one of the party at
tended services Sunday. Monday noon
a party of thirty ate dinner IN our
dining room. We had to enjoy our
selves, because, you see, there were
five ministers in the party.
No I did not do all the cooklhs'
You don't suppose Aunt Mary, "A. M.
" and the wife of the married minis

would let me, do you? We had lot
of good things to eat, ending with de-
licious ice-cream from the Hahcoch
rb.t afternoon 1 had a delightful
ride to Bar Harbor, Seal Harbor'
Northeast Harbor and back nome.
Three of our guests had TO re.ui.
home Tuesday morning. The rest OF
us went to the circus. AS we nav
threa Youngsters and two grown-ups
at the house who had never oeeh ~
a circus. it was worth making two
trips in the Ford to get them all over
70 Ellsworth. We came home tlreo'
but feeling that we would rehieAioei
the day for some time.
1t is nearly supper time. Inc ~.
are sure to come in from the nay
field with good appetites, SO III leave
a space for some other niece's letter
"p Bird"
sense of humor is declared 10
he necessary for ministers and mis-
sionaries. but "Bird's" letter con.
vinces us surely that a sense OF
humor is more than Indispensable
for a farmers wife 1t is absolutely
the "sine qua non."
There is apt to come day lot US
all when things go upside-do"n' anu
it seems as if we ought to go back
to bed and get out the other side
anything, to rub it all out and pegln
again. But, having sense OF
humor, we can, like BIRD" laugh
over split milk or cream, and go on.
I think BIRD" must be mistaken
as to the number of people at her
Fourth of July dinner. Only
Thanksgiving dinner-tables are ex-
pected to have room for thirty
people, and the conventional lone
