There were some bronze chandeliers which we know would interest big brother, they were what he calls decorative, and some china which sister would rave over.
We came away feeling that Sweden is a very large and useful nation, and a homey and comfortable sort of people. We said so to father, but he said, “Yes, yes, children, I am glad you felt that, because they are that and more.”
We knew by his tone that he was thinking, so we were careful not to chatter and disturb him.
Your loving cousins,
JANE AND ELLEN.
DEAR COUSINS:
FAIRY-LAND was never more beautiful than the Fair is when the lights are on in the evening, with all the big searchlights and the colored lights going at once. Then the Tower looks like the queen that it is, with its thousands of sparkling jewels. There is something majestic and silently mystical about it, as it stands with its head among the stars. There has never been anything like it, and there will never be anything like it, and while, like other great things, it may have faults, it will live forever in the hearts of the little children who have seen it.
