I am very much obliged for my nice little paper, YOUNG PEOPLE. My
uncle gave it to me for a Christmas present, and it amuses mamma
and me very much.

My only pet is a nice canary. When I let him out of the cage he
flies and picks the buds off from mamma's plants.

We can see the snow on the mountains all the time here where I
live. I am twelve years old.

I am seven years old. I like to read the letters in YOUNG PEOPLE
so much that I want to write one myself. I live in a large orange
grove. It is a lovely place, and summer lasts all the year.

My pet is a hen named Tinny. She is so tame I can pick her up
anywhere. She has eleven little chickens now. I can not write very
well, for I have been to school only eight months.

I think YOUNG PEOPLE is the nicest little paper that I ever saw.
The only pet I have is a dear little baby sister. I am eleven
years old, and I have been to a private school two years.

My papa is an editor, and in a year or two I am going to study
stenography so that I can report for his paper.

I have two younger brothers, and we are all learning to swim. I
can take fifteen strokes.

Here is a recipe for cookies for Nellie E. O.: One cup of butter;
two cups of sugar; one cup of milk; one egg; one tea-spoonful of
royal baking powder; a little grated nutmeg; flour enough to make
it very stiff. Roll very thin. These cookies will keep good a long
time. I have made them, and I know they are good. I am twelve
years old.

May M. Vinton, Mabel Lowell, Alberta F. Morrill, and K. R. send very
nice recipes for candy, but they are so very similar to recipes already
published that we can not make room for them. We would request the young
housekeepers to avoid repetition as much as possible, for while we thank
them all for their favors, we can only print such recipes as are new.
