A SOCIAL CHAT.
DIAMOND SPRINGS, February 3, 1880.
DEAR QUIET HOUR: I'm so glad to say
"how do you do " once more, Tor I've felt
away out in the cold such long time, and
it isn't comfortable but now all the good
roast-turkey days are gone and the dear
friends with us with them, and the "Qulet
Hour most comforting corner-smlles
at us from the very next column to that
most interesting story, "Set IN Silver
Sea-" So, while the fire crackles and
blazes so cheerily, I've just seated myself
for nice little chat. When | read ii. e.
P.'s kind words before Christmas, | did
want to thank her and wish her ever so
many happy New Years. l hope we will
meet her often in the "Quiet Hour this
year. Hattie Heath deserves compli-
ment and hearty congratulations for the
very nice charade embracing good wish
for everybody. l know she will be happy,
for wishing so well for every one she is
sure to be blest. The year began joyously
for me, for it brought a dear friend we
hadn't seen for ten years. We were school
girls together here, and when she went
away we promised to be everlasting friends
and correspondents, but older ones laughed
at this and spoke slightingy of what they
termed "fickle little schoolgirl friend
Ship but we were always true to our
promise, even tho fate led her far away.
The Joy bells rang merry tune when once
more our paths converged, but now she has
gone again and happy scenes are newly
painted in the sketch book of our memory.
Z bo,- - ba O,iat and I
hope to meet her in the circle sometimes.
When l read Kate Heath's letter in the
Mondays paper, saying that she was inter.
ested in our Quiet Hour, wished could
just say, or write to her saying: My
Dear Kate Heath l want to tell you how
like joy-beams the letters you have been
writing have seemed to me. had read
them long time before | knew that she
who wrote them was the very person who
came up into my dear old pine woods sew
eral years ago, and won my childish heart
with the pleasure and admiration she ex-
pressed for the majestic pineclad noun
tains, pure cold water, and the little log
cabin where dinner was served. And
every summer now your letters reach the
same grand wilderness. They come like
throb from the heart of creation, and send
new life to the distant capiilaries they
reach, and it seems to me must tell you
how welcome they are. Old Ell Dorado
county still lays claim to Kate Heath,
and loves her letters. When | read in
your last, Kate, that you felt in direct
correspondence with your readers, and
that You wished some times you could
write better, my pen just glided away to
express the thought that your letters are
just right and fifty framed in the RECORD
UNION. the best paper in the State. Now,
maybe you II not care for a country girls
opinion of you, but there are SO many
others to whom your letters come like
heart-cheerers, I'm sure it can't help max
lug you happy to know it, and I'll always
remain your admirer. SIBYL.
