Brattleborough, Vermont.
I like Harper's Young People very much. I study Harper's School Geography. I am just learning how to skate. For Christmas I got a chamber set and a tea set, a pretty book, two bags of candy, and a bag of nuts.
I am eight and a half years old.

I am ten years old. I have a little sister named Julia, but when she commenced to talk she called herself Jupi, and we all call her so. Mamma says we ought to spell it joujou, which is the French word for plaything.
We like Young People so much we can hardly wait for it to come. Papa has taken it for us ever since it was published.
Jupi and I each have a pet kitty. One of them will scratch on the door, just like a dog, until some one opens it.
Jupi has a Paris doll. It is a baby doll, and it has a little nursing bottle. You can fill the bottle with milk or water, put the tube in the doll's mouth, and by pressing a button at the back of its head, all the milk goes out of the bottle. Then press the button again, and it all goes back.
We have a toy bird which imitates a canary so you would think it was a real one.
