South, Atlanta, Ga.
Dumb. B.: I have read letters from the
cousins for year? and have always wished to be
long lo the ramily, but never could screw my
courage up to the sticking point. Some of the
letters arc so beautiful. I believe I too have
some beautiful thougats If I only had the gift
of language to convey them. But cousins could
vou take me among you just as I am? Aunt
Judy dear, speak a good word for me. Will
write more if I don’t perish in the W. B.
Your Darling.
PS I could not decide whether I would
sign Old Maid or Darling. Won’t some of the
omniins decide which I shall be? My address is,
Box 75, Sumter, 8. C.
DKAR A UNTIE AND Cousins: Thinking it
wonld be fine fun for you all to have Twin
Brothers to tell you about their wonderful ad
ventures once a week, we have mustered up
courage enough to try and pull the curtain
aside and let onr noses be seen in the boys and
girls' department. We both want a nice sweet
heart and we arc going to keep quiet, and cho se
one apiece among the sweet girls that write
such interesting letters to fill up the long
columns in the Sunny South, and which w e
think the most interesting columns in the pa
per. Now if our letter goes to the wsste basket
it might turn our hslrs gray and we would
miss the good lu :k of procuring a nice sweet
heart apiece, so please give us a fair chance, and
oh! don’t be so cruel, and we wiil promise you
if we are permitted to keep the curtain drawn
and let our noses be conspicuous we will make
you laugh till the tears roll down your ebeeks
like rain. Your very truly
Twin Brothers.
Cousins, msy 1 come in a little while? Ah!
thank you, Hil la this sofa corner is cosey and
home like; there don’t make me feel too pleas
ant or I may tarry longer than you wish.
Hilda, some day, “in the sweet by and by,’’
I Intend to visit your State, and I hope t’ll have
some sign by which to know yon, should we
chance to me t. Will you write to me?
Lynnwood I too have wondered what Heaven
Is like. But not until the
“Mists have rolled away,”
will we know. After the cares and troubles of
this world how sweet ’twill be 11 rest forever in
that
’ City of bright glory”
that onr Siviourhas gone before to prepare for
us.
Cricket 1 bid you welcome; come again.
Cousins, one and all, what is your aim in life?
Sometimes I feel as if life is not worth living;
then again I think ho v bard it would be to
leave this blitht, beautiful world so full of sun
shine and loving hearts. How I wish I might be
able to do sometning to make the world better;
but as the sea is composed of tiny drops of
water one removed is never misled; so is tbc
world made of human beings. As soon as life
ceases others crowd into your place and—well
it is no more than if we had never been!
Tnere, cousins. Lonlyeamein for a few mo
ments. By by, Auntie.
Lovingly,
Max.
Dear Aunt Judy: It is only a girl from “poor
old’’ Missouri, knocking at your door, and if,
X have wanted to come a long time, but am
afflicted with the ume disease Lyoetts spoke of
—timidity—hence feared I would not be enter
taining.
In the first place, let me offer sympathy to
Dearest, as I am myself a school girl, and can
gay amen to all ehe said. Now I will shake
bands all around one at a tints. If you please.
I sometimes think schoolgitls have an awful
hard time, but mama says scaool days are by far
the happiest. However, I don’t agree with her,
especially when I have to practice music every
spare moment I have. Last night mama wanted
me to practice and I just cried, and then my big
brother mocked me, he said to show me how
pretty I did. Now wasn’t that awful, for my
tears were genuine tears—not a bit of crocodile
about them. Don’t you cousins feel sorry for
me?
Tonight I will go to an entertainment given
to two young ladies from Loudon, Eng. It will
be given in tbe Y. M. C. A. building. I will be
delighted to meet them as I myself am engaged
in missionary work. I teach in a mission
Sunday school and help teach the Infant class
which is very large. 1 love my little pupils very
much, and they think I am the pink of perfec
tion. Now don’t all speak at once and say, “Oh,
how vain!” I only s*id they think so.
Am’tyou all glad Christmas is almost here
again? 1 am awful glad, for then we get holiday,
and that means very mjich to a schoolgirl. The
angles and the triangles can prove themselves,
whilst we girls have some fun surprising people
with our merry Christmas jokes. Christmas
comes but once a year and should bring many
glad tidings of good cheer. Are yon all expect
ing many presente? I am; hat then my little
brother says I want the earth If I con Id get it.
Ht! ha! I am in a quandary about what to send,
as It will take such a lot of things.
Wishing yon all a merry Christmas and a
happy New Year, I bid yon good night.
Minnehaha.
“The clouds like grim black faces co me and go;
One star came. Cleopatra like the night
Swallowed this one pearl in a fit ol madness.”
Aunt Judy, do forgive me for coming so often,
but 1 have tbe bines so badly this dark cloudy
night I cannot resist the temptation to visit
your merry household to recover my usual
nappy spirits. What bright, intelligent faces I
see everywhere!
Dear little Cricket Is trying to read her future
In the glowing coals; ’tls well that “Heaven
from all creatures hides the book of fate.” 1
love you, dear, for your kind words to me, also
because you love sunny Florida.
1 miss Dad’s Milk Maid's bright face!
Sweet Mabel Martin is telling Zora “that an
author's works must be read to be appreciated.”
Yea, Zora, perhaps we have to cultivate a taste
for Dickens. I learned to love him when a little
girt.
Where Is Will Bysshe? He is the yonng man
I wish to advance some ol my bright (?) idess
on. Well here you are at last! lazy youDg
knight, to take the big arm chair, Instead of
giving it to Lynwood Elaini, Cleminttneor
that Good Little Girl sitting so demurely in he
corner. Fie! where Is your gallantry, Will? and
one too, who is so fond of Scott! We won’t
quarrel, thought fori like you and enjoy your
bright characteristic letters very much.
Here! will show you bow a Florida cracker
can shake hands. Did I hear you say, “what
a grip for a girl!” Yes, I believe in a warm
hand shake.
So yon wish to have a siege over Scott and
Dickens? Well I will tell you why I love the
latter’s works. In the first place they teach us
humility and show how many true,noble hearts
are found among the poor and uneducated—we
most not judge outwardly, it takea ad vers'ties
of the most trying to prove the true man or
woman. Who cannot seem to posses all the
virtues when all goes well with them no
cares, petty worries? ’Tls the triflss In this
world tbat^ * "
of "poverty, yeTtirough ft aid kept their
pore, unspotted from envy, “the uncurable can
cer of the sonl;” Jealousy, the “green eyed
monster,” and all snch evils that many of ns
bars to contend with.
In David Coppperfleld, hrw lifelike his char

Steerforths, some good angels like Agnes. I
could tell yon some reasons why I’m not e great
lever of Scott tat It wonld take too long; be
sides. the cousins are tired ol discussing books.
I will my only this, I find his descriptions
, and we have to read so much for so
us. But this rest is not what we seek, far rest is
not the espousal of life; life is motion mid mo
tion is unrest, and, as has bern said, “Apathy Is
tbe preenrser of death.” But 1 have wamlered
from my subject. I said it was raining, and to
this rain you are mostly indebted for this
letter.
Of late we have been having such a nice
quantity and quality of poetry by Eloise. A
glittering array of glistening words. Mingled
with these we have had many others equally
beiutiful. Something has occurred to entirely
obliterate the productions of onr well remem
bered poet laurrate, Clyce; even Fairy Queen,
Bonnie Leslie, Snow-Bird, que (?) Max and Lyn
wood, have lost the 1 rusty pointed pen to rest.”
Welcome to all the flowers. Mountain Daisy,
Texas Daisy, Alpln, who art thou? Good Little
Girl has a very dimintive Idea ol love, perhaps
Good Little Girl may be a boy.
Timlda'ssen intents were drawn about right,
and very prettily expressed.
Don't some of you cousins think there Is lots
of fun having lots of fun? But then we should
not consume all time In whiling away precious
time* Y’ou understand who understand.
Beryl thinks kissing proper—not alluding to
the old “proper and common" gog. Things it
proptr—that is
“When the maiden lair is willing
To bestow the pleasure thrilling,”
and all hands are ready for the “extreme felici
ty ” Mothers, sisters daughters and old maid
acquaintances may be allowed to kiss, but don’t
kiss tbe baby.
. Mamie, i.ext time you come you must surely
tell us of your land of flowers lor what pen can
do it more gracefully?
About forty of the old members had better

Dear Cousins: Only a few short weeks have
elapsed since my last visit to the Letter Box,
but 1 must come again despite Aunt Jndy's
frowns and expostulations (here, dear sweet
Auntie, is a kiss for your patience and forbear
ance while I have a social chit chat with the
cousins), but before I begin to pen my randnnt
shot ideas I want to invite “the Aunts and the
Uncles and the Cousins” to my birth day cele
bration. Won’t yon come? Buy your ticket for
W , perhaps you would fare better to drop
me a postal tbe day before so I can have the ox
carts at our deput in waiting for the girls with
Cinderella's carriage for eunt Judy and Uncle
Punch—tbe boys can walk, only a mile and a
half east of the station. Now what a jolly, good
time we would have. As I have only entered
my teens mama says I am entirely too young to
set my cap for Future President, but never
mind Fadrian, 1 heard you and Florida Girl
whispering! You may yet have a r.ral in this
Va. Girl, if Future President s aspirations run
to the close of Cleveland’s second term. Come
Future President, we want to hear from you
again. Don't lei these silly girls frighten you
away forever. Should auy of them make you
leap-year proposal* you can only b.ushingly
auswer “Yes or No.”
I sball now leave this interesting theme to the
little.
I give all the new cousins a warm welcome. I
did not Intend to stay quite so long; many of
tbe face* that were ao bright when I came in
looked bored at my keeping the floor go long.
Well,the clonds have dlapened, and the queen
of night 1* smiling on the fair earth, while

To the Letter Box: All day the storm-clouds
have covered overhead the bright golden cano
py. One has been compelled to remain in doors
and seek rest The elements are not Infrequently
onr best friends; for having naught to do, and
were the day bright, we would wander about
«nd tire out what energy there remains within
PLUM PUDDING, CHRISTMAS GREENS, SNOW
QUEEN, JACK FROST.
therefore to get up much that is new for
Christmas, it may be found well to go a
long way back and reproduce the old in
some form or other.
For part of the Christmas evening fun
let the children be dressed to represent
accessories of Christmas time, snch
as “Christmas Greens,” “Mince Pie,”
“Plum Pudding,” “Jack Frost,” “Christ
mas Bells,” “Christmas Carols,” “Snow
Queen” and “Christmas” himself. Some
of these characters were enacted in En
glish celebrations of the holiday in “ye
olden time” or in Christmas plays. The
children who are too young to act parts
can be called Christmas sprites or fairies,
aa the fancy names and costuming are
(imply to please the children and make
a gayer spectacle of the honse and its
guests. Copying after Irving’s descrip
tion, “Christmas” may have on, over his
ordinary suit, a short, round cloak
ruff and a steeple hat. If preferred he
may he attired in a modification of the
Santa Clans costume seen in pictures.
“Snow Queen” must bo all in white,
with floating hair, which, with her
dress, is sparkling with diamond dust.
“Mince Pie” is described as having a
brocade dress, peaked hat and high
heeled shoes. This may he changed for
any other suitable costume. “Christmas
Greens” willappearin green, ornamented
with red berries and sprigs of ever
green, and “Plum Pudding” should he
personated by a plump girl attired in
brown. “Jack Frost” can wear any cos
tume he pleases, only it ought to be
flecked with bits of glistening cotton, to
look like frost. Surgeon's cotton or
■pun glass will be best for this. On his
arm shonld hang a paint pot and brush,
to indicate his work on trees and bushes.
“Christmas Bells” may have innumer
able tiny brass hells on his suit, and
“Christmas Carol” will of course be dec
orated with imitations of bars of music
and notes hero and there. If preferred
each may recite something in keeping
with his character.
Another modification of an old Christ
mas custom is to have a cake baked with
a piece of money in it. When the cake
is cut, so there shall be a piece for every
person, the ono in whose portion the
coin is found is the king of the evening

wbat has become of yon all? Keep quiet no
no longer. Gome to tbe front with your ready
pens and I will promise to read instead cf write
letters; but before 1 leave this beautiful Sunny
South to go into winter quarters I must tell the
girls of the little cake baking experience I once
had; which may amuse yon, but it was ratber
mortifying to my young pride. I always help
mamma to mix up the cakes.but on this occasion
she had to leave the responsibility of baking
on me (as company was announced just at
this critical time); so I put tbe cakes in the oven
and then sat down on a three legged stool to
mnse over a story 1 had been writing on a few
days previous. I was jnst deciding whether my
hero should perish in a burning house or go do wn
in a storm at sea. I preferred the fatter, so had
him help the lost woman and child into the
boat, already filled to “swamping." then the
ship reeled, grew dizzy, there was a horrible
vortex of black rushing waters an— “Isanything
burning, my dear?”asked mama running in at
this supreme moment. I threw opentne stove
door and found my cakes coals black coals, and
all mama Bald, “o oking is not yonr forte my
child.” Now what ts my calling? not letter
writing I’m sure, but when i finish my little
story and should it grace the pages of some
magazine, I may be encouraged to write again.
Until then 1 snail leave the literary world alone
lh its glory with all my literary ambition which
will come to grief in the waist basket. If this
letter doesn’t share the same fate I shall be sat
isfied. Good night, pleasant dreams for all.
Y’our devoted cousin, Hilda.
The Pipefish.
If yon want a perfect model of domestic
virtue, for example, where can you find it
in higher perfection than in that exem
plary and devoted father the common
great pipefish of the North Atlantic and
tbe British sea? This high principled
Iophobrauch is so careful of his callow and
helpless young that he carries about the
unhatched eggs with him under his own
tail, in what scientific ichthyologists pleas
antly describe as a sub-caudal pouch or
cutaneous receptacle. There they hatch
out in perfect security, free from the dan
gers that beset tho spawn and fry of so
many other less tender hearted kinds, and
as aoon as the little pipefish are big enough
to look after themselves the sac divide*
spontaneously down the middle and ailowa
them to escape to shift for themselves in
the broad Atlantic.
Even so, however, the juniors take care
always to keep tolerably near that friendly
shelter, and creep back into it again on
any threat of danger, exactly as baby kan
garoos do into their mother’s marsupim.
The father fish, in fact, has gone to the
trouble and expense of developing ont of
his own tissues a membranous bag on pur
pose to hold the eggs and young during
the first stages of their embryonic evolu
tion. This bag is formed by two folds of
tbe skin, one of which grows out from each
aide of the body, the free margins being
firmly glued together in the middle by a
natural exudation while the eggs are un
dergoing incubation, but opening once
more in the middle to let the little fish out
ae soon as tbe process of hatching is fairly
finished.—Cornhill Magazine.

them on ('liristmas trees, a plan which
ought to he followed out, if possible,
wherever there are children. The Christ
mas tree is of German origin, the ancient
people of that country placing a green
bush over the door of each hnt at the mid
winter ft stival. When Christian mio-
rionams went to Germany they added
various merrymakings and carols, and
adopted 1 lie custom of having Christmas
trees wiili them.
When trees are not used gifts are
aometiines put under p 1 -*- or in pack
ages on a table or on the chairs placed
around the Christmas dinner table. But
some novel way of pro-sting gifts is in
keeping with the day's festivities. Ona
plan is to have a small boy or girl go to
each one’s door early on Christmas morn
ing bearing letters. The missives may
be written on fancy paper or cords, and
contain but a few words. One may
read:
If will go to the northeast corner of tha
garret he will And something of advantage to
Urn.
Another:
A parcel wfth *B aame upon ft may todto
eorerwd under the dining room buffet.
If there ore many members at the
family and each gives things to oil tha
rest there will be quite a good sized mail
to be distributed. Each one should
choose hiding places for what he is to
present and write letters to the recipients,
All letters may be dropped into » box
prepared for the purpoee. This is a good
vrey to give large packages, but another
plan for presenting small gifts is to hav*
them rolled in white cotton to represent
snowballs. They can be marked with
tiny labels, pasted over the last fold of
cotton to keep the balls from unrolling.
The snowballs may be put in a pile on
• lot of cotton to represent snow, and a
little diamond dust will moke the liko-
