of only three days of pneumonia. Only week

of her next older nsighbor. Airs. Sophia Hutch
ms, and she enjoyed it go much. She spoke of
the pleasure she had with us last fall; how kind
every one was TO her. and said she never spent a
happier day. have meant to send for picture
for her, but now j want one more than ever.

to. iay. and she made me feel so small when she
said: Have you written Mrs. Grimm" Dear
Mrs. Griffin one of the friends of long ago |

ia that chair so patient In all her sufferings.
She is well worthy of a letter from us all.

Dear Janet, another old. time friend, how

Oh, NJ. B. sisters, how are you on the resub.
mission question? am just boiling over full /;
willing to go from house TO house all over the
town If 1t would only arouse the voters, but I
believe our cause 10 in good hands. Our Johns
are all right; we can trust them and use our
influence with other folks Johns. can't we?

machine and hope she will like it as well as l
do mine. / have had mine about three years.
One of my boys was helping me one day and he
said that it was fun for the women but death on
the men. My men folks always turn the
machine.
My family has had the measles this winter

my little girl was TO give her plenty of cold
water and keep her closely covered in bed, and
she broke out nicely.
