BILLIE PAYS HER RESPECTS TO
 OLD SOL

Dear Editor and Sisters of Social Corner:-Many thanks to all inquirers for me, and to those who extended their sympathies in the time of my greatest bereavement. That is one thing we know will come sooner or later and that we never are pre- pared to meet it. Often I would think all through mothers declining years: :: How shall 1 ever get over that bridge" It surely was a, Bridge of Sighs" to me; but by some unseen and loving hand 1 was led safely over tell ing me all the way, My word will be a lamp unto they feat and q light un- to they path.'
 Cherisette and Papa's Boy have my deepest sympathy. I would commend them to Him who says, q will never leave thee nor forsake thee.''
 Faye Verna-It is amusing to me that the Sisters cannot get it into their heads that I am one of them. Even in the stories I am mixed up with the men, especially Jim. l hope Mrs. Jim will not get jealous.
 those bugs? I am with those bugs like some people are with their vices Don't mention them.
 Old Sol gives us Solomon for a. criterion. He never did appear to be in my scripture reading. He always seemed to say as so many ministers of today: Don't do as I, but as I tell yoIl.'' With all his wisdom in that day if he
  aeropfanes, he would be scared to death I imagine I can see him beat ing the air and rending his garments, even trembling at the knees. When I think of him with all those wives and combines, feel weak. His prayers and praises may be all right but l never could drink from an i'm pure fountain.
 Isaac, who had one wife-Rebecca, is my faVorite.
 ic T don't mean to feast on terrapin All we get in this world is what we eat and what we wear and let both be good. think a persons complexion tells good living. It stands to reason no one can work well who is poorly fed
 What was the secret of the Russians being defeated by the Japanese? One was by nature of good build. the oth- CTS were little but mighty. The Rus sians didn't have the backbone. Let me whisper Old Sol. They lacked t'bel- ly timber" It isn't necessary to have good food floating in grease. Some people do not know how to buy food l have seen some people trust to their children to buy the meat. Some butch CTS will give children any kind if they could get rib roast of beef, the sec ond cut for the first is nearly dry. Loin pork and lamb chops, broiled chicken in any form, and numerous ether things that make the heart glad.
 If student can study off a B cent and a 60 cent fare week he will strain his brain and in a few years some sanftarium will catch him.
 In speaking of Solomon did you even hear of Mrs. Solomon? I will tell you right here I do not admire any man who can not speak of his wife. That is why I admire Nat, although he does not know it.
 In 1914 when Old stonington has her celebration, come down, Old Sol. and don't forget to bring Mrs. Sol and if I don't touch your hearts. On leaving l imagine can see you come up to me with both hands extended and say.
 My dear Billie. I enjoyed your hos pitality so much, and do not know how slfal ever repay you for this pleas ure."
 Then Billie will straighten up and call her 150 lbs. (troy) to her aid and say:
 MY dear Sol. don't mention the small favor, but I want you to take your bib and wear it home and you will at once see it reads Votes for women,' and show it to Mrs. Robin son and say: "I am thine.''
 What has become of A Dreamer We miss her very interesting letters.
 Bee, did you receive my letter?
 Stonington. BILLIE.
