Dear aunt Judy: If you will allow a very prosaic person a place among your Ust of fluent and spicy writers, I will be glad to come and announce myself as one of your joyous band. I live way up here in Virginia, the maternal State, «n i am a lover of the South from the in nermost recesses of my soul. It is the most glo rious land upon God’s green earth. “There may be lands where skies are bluer, That kiss a softer sunset glow. But there’s no land with spirits truer, Or prompt to heal another s woe.” I don't think there is any pla e even with bluer skies, a *d I know there isn’t a land ou earth where an appeal for aid will meet with such generous response as in our beautiful South I enjoy the letters from ‘he cousins very much and would like to write often, but shrink up with fear when I contemplate the probab e fate of ■•*y very cornu onplace epistle. The w. b. is sure to get it. I ihiuk the plan for a circulating library as proposed by Ferraud is a good one: yet we ouratto have some understanding ab rat the kind of books we are to have ia circulation. How would ir. do for Aunt Judy to give us a list of good n» w pub icatiousaud use books selected from that list? In this manner we would avoid sending ♦ach other hooks which had been read by some of the cousins Then each one write a ! criticism and enclose it in the book for each successive cousin to rea i Let each one of the cousins suggest whatever plau he thinks best tneu let Auu Judy s lectsorae of the best ideas advanced au i give the n to us with her own views on tie subject I fear Auntie will object | to doings) mucu work, for she must be very j busy already. j Havean> of the cousius ever read Thorns in ■ the Flesn. by N.

I Those who believe in these rules are the •nes to he helped by this description of t simple £ifts, for poor indeed would be the souls who could not .afford to prepare the most inexpensive of them, while, no one giving for the sake of looks would take the trouble to make presents. Have you ever seen a combing: towel? No? Well, then, you must learn how to make one, and when you have tried this really necessary addition to toilet conven iences you will want your friends to have them. They make acceptable holiday "ifts, and can now he bought already cut, stitch ed and stamped; but it. i.s very easy to make them. Cut a large towel in half crosswise, and one of the parts thus made iu half lengthwise. Then lay over the two parts of the second named half the pattern of a waist front, cutting shoulder seams and neck, fjct the seams slant to the edge of the towel, even though it makes a longer seam than the pattern calls for. Do the same with the other h.alf of the towel, using the back pattern of the waist. Sew the shoulder seams together so as to leave no raw edges, and face the neck and each side of the front opening. Stamp or have stamped on the front ends of the towel fig- nresof hair pins, comb and brush and hand glass, which are to be worked in outline stitch the color of the towel ends. If these are white use any color. Around the neck and down the front put a soft frill of linen lace, sewing ribbons of the same color as the stitching each side of the neck open ing.

H »w many of my South Carolina friends at tended the Fair I wonder.

Cousins do any of you think you ' could ever sum n *n up enouga courage to do i as Mary Wilson does? Tell our ♦rieuds of their I faults. You know it is rather a delicate matter ! to tell a irieu i that thev are not near so perf ;'et as th*»y oug.it fo be, and that they sh »uid try to improve. Of course others as well as myself 1 have had kind uooi old Christian lanies to talk to them and adv s • to ;m correct their fan its 1 and strive to do bett -r. Tuat is quite a differ Dear Aunt Judy; Will you allow a very tim d stranger to cuat for only a short ti r.e with you? I have just had suen a very pleasant time rea ing the dear old -»unny South and have especially enjoyed the dear letters from the cousins. My deRr Earnest ,Willie, your letters rerhiy do auy one’s heart good to read them. I felt I could love you as a very de*r friend the first lett r I read of you re. I knew it w s such a 'noble goo- person that wrote it.

Dear Cousins don t you think it would be nice for dear Au it Judy to propose asubje;t for us to ois uss? I think it would make us take more interest iu it if it were proposed by her, I would like so very much to be one among you to give ray opinion ou acertaiu subject but dare not mention auy as I am a perfect stra ger to all. but do not want you all to feel as if I am. Dear Cousins, I diu not mean to intrude when T came in among you for I have a smile aud kind word for each one of you. Allow me, dear Aunt Judy, this ittlechat to show my love for you all. 1 have certainly stayed longer than I exp i ;ted doing, but you see you were so very kind to me, I suppos a because it was my first visit; but perhaps 1 will come again by and by.

The stamp can then be raised, and the water marks at the back can be seen; also it can be easily re moved and put on another page withor* injury.

An old colored man about 75 years old, calling himself Uncle Dick, created a sen sation iu this town Monday with a mag nificent rattlesnake four feet long, having nine rattles. Uncle Dick, the “snako charmer,” surrounded by a crowd of Wash ingtonians, took a glass of cold water, swallowed it, rolled up his sleeves, made several cabalistic signs, and finally plung ing his right hand int o a sack in his basket brought out, to the amaz merit of the spec tators, a monstrous rattlesnake. The rep tile slowly coiled himself around the ueck and arm of the old man, while its head grazed the white beard of Uncle Dick, who in return wascaressing with gentleness the reptile and talking to it as if it were a baby.
