reading up on the various sections,
finally decided w eastern Montana.
She arrived here yesterday and after

Horace Greeley's advice.
Mrs. White will remain in Billings

have ample opportunity to look up in
the meantime.
Mrs. White stated that the weather
here is much milder than at her Vir-
ginia home, and she seems delighted
with the prospects.
