ABOUT HOBBIES
"Dear Fairiel, I would like to tell you about my hobbies, which are auto-, graph-collecting, reading, elocution lessons, and pen-pal writing.
"Although I have not what you would call any. famous, people's signatures in my aibum I have collected all my school mates' autographs. Some are really funny, such as: 'Valma was asked out to tea one night. Her heart was all a-flutter; She fainted at the table, and -her nose stuck in the butter.' However, there is r a signature I am really proud of. It is from Hilda Richards, author of school stories in -i weekly paper I get. I wrote a letter to her in Loritfon, and a" few months later received a typewritten reply and her own written signature.
"As for.reading, I am a real 'book-
worm.' I. belong to the Brooklyn Library, and like school stories best, but lately, of a change, I have been reading mystery stories. ■ "I go to elocution every Wednesday and I must say I enjoy: it. I "I am learning a piece of poetry called 'Impersonations. of Guests at a ! Wedding.' -I imitate first' a .Duchess, ! then an Englishman, then an incurable pessimist, arid, last of all; the bridegroom." "VIVACIOUS VAL" (11). Brooklyn. ,
