BY FRISCO GIRLS

Hello. Yes, this is Irene. o. did
you? Wasn't yesterday just perfect?
I had the grandest time yesterday
afternoon. We girls had an invitation
from young officer on the Charles
ton,' which is lying in the bay with
several other armored cruisers, to
visit the big boat and of course we
accepted. l had never been on war
dog, as they call them, and wanted
to go, but could not figure out how
my old suit would look on an occasion
of that kind. 1 had just about made
up my mind to stay home when Helen
rang me up and asked me to go shop
ping with her. She needed a suit and
a hat. We looked around at several
places and then Helen suggested that
we try store at 1909 Market. When
we got there and saw the beautiful
things / began to wonder what they
cost, but we found the prettiest little
fall street suit for her, and here's
what 1 wanted to tell you in the first
place 1 bought a suit myself. o. it's
a dream.
you know how badly I needed IL.
It was only SIS, and when the lady
asked me if l wanted it charged I
nearly fell dead. / opened up an ac-
count, paid a little down and am GO
ing to pay the balance little each
month as / can spare it. Say, dear,
you should see that young ensign. Be-
lieve me, he had some eyes, and he
kept them trained pretty well my
way. If you want to go up to CHER
RVS and see what they have, I'll be
glad to go with you. Maybe you had
better take down the addresses. They
