Nip, and he is full of fun. The other day Lewis was pulling me in
our express wagon, and Nip ran after us as if the cart was a
carriage and he a grown-up dog.
We are going to the sea-shore this summer, where we expect to have
a nice time playing in the sand.

I tried Bessie L. S.'s recipe for doll's cup-cake, and I thought
it was very nice. I have a little brother and a little sister
younger than myself. I am eleven. I am always glad when papa
brings me home my YOUNG PEOPLE. I think it is a very nice paper.

My papa made me a Christmas present of YOUNG PEOPLE, and I like it
so much.
I have three pets. One is a little black dog named Aristotle. We
call him Tot for short. I have a little kitty named Malty, and an
old cat named Tabby. They play very pretty together. I have two
nice dolls. One is very handsome. My papa brought her from Paris,
and I called her Rosa Bell. The other one's name is Stella.
I live on a hill, and we have beautiful views of the sunset.

I am making a collection of birds' eggs. My brother sent some eggs
to Alice Paine. I hope she will receive them safely.
We have two cats; one of them is fifteen years old; he is a pure
Maltese, with the exception of a few white hairs under his chin.
We have a little gray squirrel too, and he is so tame that when my
brother opens the door of his cage he will jump out and run all
over him.
I should like to know if English sparrows build in trees as robins
do.
DAISY R.
English sparrows build in little houses, if kind hands provide them,
otherwise they seek out any cozy corner wherever there is a shelf upon
which to lodge their nest. They never build in trees. You will find an
article about them in YOUNG PEOPLE No. 14.

I wish to tell Rebecca H. that I tried her recipe for candy, and
found it just splendid. I will send Puss Hunter's club a recipe
for butter-scotch, and I hope Rebecca H. will also try it, and
like it as well as I did hers. I wish she would let me know if she
thinks it is
