ry summer together with my two
little sisters. We pick up lovely stones and shells. My pets are
twenty little black and white chickens, and a nice kitty named
Tabby Gray. I made a doll's cake by Puss Hunter's recipe. It was
very nice indeed.

I made cake from the recipe given by Bessie L. S. in YOUNG PEOPLE
No. 28, and thought it very nice. But I think I put a little too
much egg in it.

I send a recipe for crullers for Puss Hunter's Cooking Club: One
heaping cup of sugar; half a cup of sweet milk; one table-spoonful
of lard; three eggs well beaten; one heaping tea-spoonful of
baking-powder; flavor with cinnamon or lemon. I read all the
letters in the Post-office Box.

This little housewife forgot to state the amount of flour required to
complete her recipe; but any little girl's mamma will say how much is
necessary to make the batter stiff enough for crullers.

Here is a recipe for ginger-cake that I send to Puss Hunter's
Cooking Club: One cup of molasses; half a cup of butter; half a
cup of water; two cups of flour; two tea-spoonfuls of ginger; one
tea-spoonful of soda.

I am thirteen years old, and I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains,
in Northeast Georgia. My home is in a lovely valley, called
Nacoochee. It was called after an Indian princess of that name.

I have two dogs--Cupid and Brave. Cupid is a rat-terrier, but he
likes to hunt rabbits better than rats. Brave is a white and
yellow spotted dog. He is also a good rabbit hunter.

I am making a collection of Indian relics and quartz. I would like
to exchange specimens with some of the readers of YOUNG PEOPLE.

I have some little ponies. They are the prettiest little things
you ever saw. And I have a nice Maltese kitty, and a little bird
that sings like everything.

The town where I live was settled by the Hutchinson family of
singers. I am nine years old.

I would like to exchange pressed flowers with Genevieve, or any
other little girl in California.
