bright, cosy home without glasses.

will not try it this year. She writes
a very plain hand; corresponds with
all her children; reads a good DEAL;
and knows all that is agitating the
public mind as questions like the
following will indicate: "What about
Hartmann sis there anyone like
President Roosevelt to overcome
errors?" and similar queries.

sofa pillow tops of the finest silk and
velvet for her friends. She also excels

in pretty ribbons.

all things WE'LL"
