Most boys and girls tell about their pets. I have none, except my
little brother, two years and a half old. I have two sisters and
this sweet little brother. We moved from Louisville, Kentucky, to
Nashville about a month ago, and I am very homesick to go back
again. We spent the summer at Bon Aqua Springs, not far from here,
and had a nice time. I have a doll, and her name is Eva Wallace;
she will be four years old on Christmas. My little brother tries to
call us girls "girlie," and he says "dirlie." He calls me
"Black-eye dirlie," my sister Grace "Blue-eye dirlie," and sister
Florence "Brown-eye dirlie." His name is Theodore. We have taken
YOUNG PEOPLE from the beginning, and think it is the best of
papers. Mamma takes the BAZAR and MAGAZINE. My papa is away most of
the time, and we are always glad when he comes home. I go to
school, and am in the Fifth Grade. I study reading, spelling,
arithmetic, geography, writing, and drawing. I am eleven years old.
