COMMENTS. The moonlight descriptions were particularly good—but, cousins, how few! Easter was certainly holiday time for most of you! Watch your adjectives, my dears, and chose each one you use with a keen and discriminating eye. The junior work was not so good—and just as scarce! And the boys ! I want to tell you, my cousins, just what scathing terms those dashes represent!! We’ll have more of these—and soon. Young Cousin Harry Smith is doing good work. —COUSIN BETTY. 345th TEST.
