 though they did, not meet me every day
 here in the store, and just AS though we
 hadn't chinked glasses a. hundred times
 over the counter. I am told that the ladies at their last sorosis, which met on Thurs day evening, had the subject under discus. sion. They were unable to, agree.

 s.-Fprr the M last last few few days my wife has manifested determination to write you a
 letter herself. If she does you will at once know; it from the signature--Amanda
