LITTLE PEOPLE’S LETTERS
Dear Cousin Kate, —1 suppose all the cousins had great fun on Guy Fawkes’ Day. We had. We went shares with some other boys in fireworks, and let them all oil' in the evening. One boy got his chin burnt with a squib, and his mother put carbonate of soda on it. We had lots of stuff'for the bonfire, and it did blaze. Luckily it was a fine night.—Your loving cousin, Harry. [I am glad yon enjoyed yourself, and think ‘going shares ’ is a capital idea. Some little boys I know of worked in the garden to earn pennies for fireworks.— Cousin Kate.] Dear Cousin Kate,—My cat’s got a kitten. What shall I call her? She’s all black like a coal.—Your loving Lily. [Why not call the kitten Maori or Blackie?—Cousin Kate.]
