Letters of the Motor Girl

Letters of the Motor Girl

I am fourteen years old to-day, June 17th, 1905. Pa said he hoped I would live to be at least one hundred, because my Aunt Annie wanted me to be a boy, so she could name me Jack; she had a beau by that name and then married him, and he married some one else, so had two wives at once, and got put in jail. Pa says hes a live wire. I have seen his picture, but I thought he looked too stupid to get two wives at once. I would think a man would have to be very smart and step lively to get two wives at once. Pa says he has stepped over all the good he had in him he reckons. I am learning to drive a big touring car, the 2 Franklin, Model G. Its a cracker jack car, just let me tell you. The manager is the nicest man I ever saw. He said I looked like Pathats why I think he is so nicemy Pa is the very nicest man I ever saw. Then Levey Cohen comes next to the Franklin car manager. If you want a good car that can pick up her feet and fly on the road, you get a Franklin, and you will find that the finest car made is the Franklin. I am in love with my car. Pa says I know a whole lot for my age, almost as much as a boy. I am glad I am a girl, boys are horrid sometimes; they dont like to spend all their money to buy chocolates for the girls. Ma says Pa sent her a five-pound box every Sunday. Pa says nearly all boys are good for is to play ball, and smash windows, and cry, if they have to pay for them. Pa says I will change my mind when I grow up, but I am not going to grow up. I have seen Peter Pan, and I like wings, and angel cake, very much indeed. Next to my Pa, comes chocolatesI like all the good ones. Levey Cohen says I am a 3 sugar-plum, but Pa says I need a whole lot of sugar yet, to be very sweet. I told him I knew flies could tell the boys that were sweet, because some of their mothers put molasses on their hair to keep it smooth,Johnnie Alton has lots of flies around his head,and I wondered why, so one day I put my finger on his hair when he wasnt looking, and pressed just a little, and the hair cracked. My, he was mad. He said, Cut-it-out, and I said, Oh, Johnnie, you would look too funny. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
