ANNOUNCING A NEW COMPETITION
The Maker of Limericks was in our little office to-day. And when the Maker of Limericks comes into our ' office we stop our work to hearken to his words. Nor were we disappointed this time. For he announced an awfully-interesting Competition. It is . but let him tell you yourself . . ...
Cousins: I am rushing into your group with an idea ... A nice idea for our next contest. You see, the idea of our page is to become acquainted. And somebody once said, ''Show me a man's friends, and I know the man." So my idea is for you all to tell us about your friends . . . According to Euclid, we will then know all about one another. So here's the idea:
A prize will be awarded to the cousin who sends us the most interesting letter, poem or story about "My Best Friend." It may just happen that your best
^friend is neither a girl nor boy, but a pet of some kind . . . But nuf? said . . We're off. Lets' see what
'the mail bag will show. All Entries are to be in bv December 7th. So, come! introduce your friends!
Ye Limerick Maker.
MAIL BAG
Dear Cousin Judith:
I received the check and it (being the first money that I have ever earned) is very dear to me, and I have finally decided that I shall not part with it unless necessity compels me to.
I guess you must be a fortune-teller to be able to guess one of my worst faults�I am a bookworm ! Mother and dad say that by the time I am twenty I will have no eyes left if I keep on reaa-ing at this rate. My friends all say, "Whenever Fannie comes over be sure and hide your books for she won't know if you are standing beside her or are in the North Pole. She will get 90 interested in even the sight of a boot"
A few days ago I received a letter
the Thousand Islands. I have compared my views of tbero and hers, and find that we both have about the same opinion about them�that they are wonderful.
I was down at Alexander Bay Last year and saw them, and I am still dreaming about them for they are wonderful! I am sure when one first sees this freak of nature they think that they have entered wonderland. I saw one island that I thought was wonderful. It was rather a small island�in the centre of it was a large and magnificeat house, it was marble and had a wonderful tower, but little of the house could be seen, for wild roses climbed over it, and on all sides a wonderful green lawn Jay which seemed more like a Luxurious carpet than one of nature's products--and at the edre of the lawn the river rippled playfully�children sang and frolicked on the lawn�and all combined, nature and childhood and the house, made a picture which any one could admire, but still the picture is not complete for as the, background (it being sunset) was all the shades of a rainbow, and cast a soft halo round the island and its contents which perfected the picture.
I feel like writing and writing, but I must not be selfish and take too much space when there are others as important (perhaps more important) all eager to see their letters in print. Good-bye for the present.
Fannie Fleming.
Dear P'annie:
I'm ever so glad that you're pleased with your cheque . . . and I do hope it brings you luck, lots of it. What books have you been reading? Have you read Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn"? Because they're good fun. Your letter makes me feel that I would like to visit the Thousand Islands. I suppose I shall some day soon. At any rate I hope to. And folks say that if one hopes hard enough . . . well, things just naturally happen the way one wants 'em to. What say? Au revoir until next week.
Cousin Judith.
October 29, 1923. Dear Cousin Judith:
I have often read the Junior Review Section and have longed to belong to it, but did not have the time to spare, but I am sparing you a few minutes now to tell you I would like to join and nave a good piece to put in. Hoping that this piece will be suitable to put in.
I remain yours,
Jennie Uditsky.
Dear Jennie:
I am very glad you did manage to find a few minutes for us. Come again �and stay longer. Are you going to enter the Contest? I hope so.
Co usin Judith.
HOME AND LOVE
Just Home and Love! the words are 6mall,
Four little letters unto each; And yet you will not find in all The wide and gracious range of speech Two more so tenderly complete: When angels talk in Heaven above, I'm sure they have no words more sweet Than Home and Love.
Sent in by Cousin Jennie,
