afternoons ago the boy and started out to
make you . call, when on my arrival at your
place / learned you were in Brewer. OF
course I was much disappointed. left my
card in the snow, but thinking it might van
ish from sight before your return, thought l
would let you know through the column that

be call in the near future.
Our western letter give us . breath Of the
good old summer time, but perhaps II we
lived where it was almost perpetual summer
We would fail to fully appreciate its beauty.

than participation, and IL this be true we
Maineites havea pleasure in looking forward
to the time of roses and green fields and sing
ing Of the birds that Susan does not have. So,
Susan, We are one ahead after all.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, for l think him an
interesting character. Who next, Aunt
Madges
Well, l would like to address each member
of the clan separately, but I'm afraid my
letter would be so lengthy that it would never
find place in the column, SO with many kind
wishes to all, remain as ever, SLY.
Thanks to each Of these for letting us
hear from them once more. Now we turn
to welcome a new sister, who asks il she
may come in. Certainly, and you are
doubly welcome because you introduce a
new baby to the column. Nays was
the last; and the column is open to the
babes as we'll as the grandmas, and / am
sure there will be response to your in
quiries.
trust, Belle, you have received the per-
sonal letter sent, so will not repeat in
the column the hints / gave you, hoping
they might be helpful until you received
some from others who are more expert
enced than myself.
