for me. ESTHER r."
If the correspondent whose address

Both Given Away
Seeing the inclosed item in the Cor
nef | hasten to say that | am in need
or both articles and will pay charges by
Parcel post. | have been hard of hearing
for 10 years and often wished | could try
some of the phones advertised. | am
old, but make my own dresses My size
is "a. In exchange l shall give a good
book or plants or seeds, as the donor
desires. KATE N. e."
The inclosed clipping apprised readers
that Mrs l.. j. put at the disposal of the
Corner dress form and an ear trumpet
10th We're caught up within "a hours after
the letter appeared in print. viii half
a dozen correspondents who have applied
for one or both of the treasures accept
this as the reply to- each and all of them,
and let as reserve space for weightier
matter? That Is, for something worthier
than reluctant statements like the fore
going? When stamps are inclosed replies
are made by mail
Write Letter First
II am sending you package of wooden
cloths. | hope that they may be of
use to some one in the Corner | have
found them of use in sickness, and as [
have more than [ need, though perhaps
you would pass them on to some one who
could make use of them. RUTH NJ"
Thus far our Monday miscellany is
tnsed with regret. We would fain ac-
knowledge with becoming gratitude the
gift you have tried to place in our keep
ing. Unfortunately, it has never reached
me. 1t is never safe to send parcels to
tho newspaper office. The busy force
there engaged is not an express company.
Write to us direct, making the tender,
and when you receive the address of the
one we would make a beneficiary send
the parcel straight to him or to her
We have need of such appliances for our
sick and destitute.
Catal0g Varied and Tempting
II have a number of hymnals also Pen
taeostal hymns for which 1 have no use.
PERHAPS YOU can find some one in the
Corner who could use them. They contain
both words and music. | also have 20
songs for womens voices, mostly quar-
tets, sacred and secular. Again. I have
two trusses for the right side. I should
much rather have some one put them into
use than to have them lying about idle.
tOulu any Oit VI lUt Itdutio IltiD iflt u
obtain Kerry Mills Me and Me Banjo?
l should only ask to have 1t long enough
to copy it. ] shall take good care of it
and return 1t promptly. l have tried
for several months to get copy, but find
it is out of print. l think it was pub
lished u or Is years ago. LOIS III. K"
Your letter has had careful and CRATE
full reading. Other eyes will con Ii with
pleasure only second to ours. for the cat
alogi varied and tempting. Yet more de-
l.ghtfui is the gentle spirit of charity
(Which the new version of the Testament
interprets as love- pervading It. 1t steals
into the heart as the breath of flowers
upon the senses. We will assuredly try to
get the loan or gift of the song you have
failed to find. / am holding your ad-
dress. t9it {
