From me to mother-Mrs. Theodore

Dearest Mother:

read the papers, and when you do read
them, you are not to get excited and
worried. | am as we'll as can be, and
a great deal safer than I ever remem-
Der to have been in my life. We are
quarantined, a lot of us, in Jim VIII
sons house, because his irreproach-
able Jap did a very reproachable
thing-took smallpox Now read on
before you get excited. His room has
been fumigated, and we have been
yaccinated. l am well and happy. 1

your maternal anXieties and cast
them to the Bermuda sharks.
Anne Brown is here-see the papers

fact, she doesn't play at it: she works.
l have telephoned Lizette for some
clothes-enough for a couple of weeks,
although Dallas promises to get us
out sooner. Now, dear, do go ahead
and have a nice time. and on no &C
count come home. You could only
have the carriage to stop in front of
the house. and wave to me through a
window
Mother. ! want you to do something
for me- You know who is down there.

but he's a nice boy, and | thought

been rather attentive. Now, l do like
him, mumsy, but not the way |
thought l did, and l want you to
very gently. of course-to discourage
him little. You know how I mean.
He's dear boy, but l am so tired of
people who don't know anything but
horses and motors.
And. oh. yes-do you remember a
girl named Lucille Mellon who was at
school with you in Rome? And that
she married a man named HARRISON?
Well, her son is herei He builds rail-
roads and bridges and things, and he
even built himself an automobile
down in South America, because he
couldn't afford to buy one, and burned
wood in it! Wood, Think of it,

picture in the paper or the face at
the basement window is supposed to
be Mr.. HARRISON, but of course it isn't
any more like him than mine is like

Of pigeons in the back yard.
He told his mother recently that he
had a patent way of making hens lay

How is that?" said his mother.
I'll have a revolving nest and coax
the hens on this nest. When a hen
