a few more, I would like to exchange some with Samuel P. Higgins,
if he will send me his full address. I have seen morning-glories
in blossom this year, and would like to know if any other
correspondents have seen them so early.

If Mary Wright will send me some leaves, I will be very happy to
send her some. And I would like to exchange flowers with Mabel
Sharp, if she will send me some as soon as possible. I will send
her some in return as soon as I receive hers. I would like to
exchange leaves or flowers with any others who would like to do
so. Those sending any will please mark each specimen distinctly,
so that I may know the name. I am fourteen years old, and my pets
are birds and flowers, which I will write about another time.

I take YOUNG PEOPLE, and like it very much. I have two pigeons
that laid eggs and hatched two little ones. I am making a
collection of birds' eggs, and would like to exchange eggs with
any of the correspondents of YOUNG PEOPLE. My address is No. 308
Carlton Avenue, Brooklyn, New York; but after the 25th of June I
will be at Glen Cove, where I get almost all of my eggs. My name
is T. Augustus Simpson, and my address this summer will be care of
S. M. COX, Glen Cove, Long Island.

mix with cold sweet milk, roll it thin, spread it with butter,
fold it, then roll it again into a sheet one-eighth of an inch
thick; now spread it with jam, and place it in the oven. When it
is baked, frost it; strew it plentifully with minced almonds or
nuts of any kind; sift sugar over it, and place it in the oven a
few moments to brown.

I tried Nellie H.'s recipe for candy, only I used maple sugar
