Brooklyn, New York.
I have no sisters, but have a brother twenty-one years of age. I have no living pets, but have a great many dolls and toys. I have a swing in the yard, and I often treat my dollies to a ride in it.
Flora L. A.
Lauzal, California.
We live on All-Saints' Bay, a hundred miles from San Diego. The name of the ranch is Lauzal. Our house is a little way from the beach. I am taking Young People this year, but do not receive it every week, as our mail goes to San Diego, and we depend on people who are passing to bring it out to us. We sometimes have to wait for it several weeks.
We have goats, sheep, horses, cows, two dogs, and a cat. One of our dogs was wrecked on a schooner, and when she was brought to me was a forlorn little puppy, but she is now a good-sized dog. As I have no sisters nor brothers, I have to depend on my animals for playmates. The nearest neighbors are six miles away. I am twelve years old.
