Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Charles Kingsley.
Dear NJ. B. Friends:
Now that our good old fashioned
Thanksgiving festival is past, / suppose
many of you are already turning your
thoughts to the mid winter holidays
which are approaching SO rapidly-or are
we approaching them? Nov is the time
for suggestions for Christmas work; and
of how best to spportion our gifts, and
of how we shall so plan shat the seasons
pleasure shall not be Nome burden.
The "band" shall have part of my own
personal letter received last week from
"Anon,' whom we have missed so much.
She begins her letter:
az want to tell you first how disappointed !
was not to be able to attend the reunion.
Mother and planned to go, but was obliged
to leave for Portland two weeks before the date
planned for. and so missed that day. l was
sorry and so was mother. for all summer we
said we would go any way to that, II to nothing
more.
l wanted to see them ALL not for any special
reason. only 1 had great desire to speak to
them all. Perhaps sometime / may. We
watched for that especial paper for a long. long
time (my sister aud y to read about the reunion.
We were delighted with It all 1 Intended to
write then but did not. and since then have been
reading up the returns" from that ride; they
! made me laugh"

join us.
| Now little word to you, Big Susan; some
| times write several sheets before get down to
business; then 1 tell Aunt Madge to leave out
what doesn't sound all right. and send 1t along
so don't get discouraged, and come often live
alone In store. but try to be happy, and TO
every new member who joins this society will
say: 'Giad to meet you.''
Grandma G, am going to write you soon,
and viii make the letter long enough so you
| will have something to do cold days to read 1t
over. Sorry you did not get to the reunion ;

| be there and meant to be, but was not well at
that time.
III. o. b.. why don't you write and tell us If
you are living on dumplings2 l like my way
because you can cook them SO quickly. / don't
put in a very large spoonful and eight minutes
with cover on make them all right with me; but
hope you will try them all. Sometime when
you make those steamed ones, make a sour
sauce and eat them for pudding, that is, put
quite lot OF vinegar in sugar sauce or any
kind of sauce for buildings.
must stop auntie will put this in the
basket. With best wishes for all.
