reach me until the day before left, and
tead of stopping over home to get laun-
red, went right on up in West Virginia,
ere was scheduled to visit Lucy and
IS for a week.
OF course, there was no end of joking
out what was in the trunk, because it

kntioned but that If reminded me in some

One of the girls told me that she had

You remember the Wi1bys, who were
aroned at the Washington Barracks for
long, don't you? 1t really was home to
crothy, for. as Dorothy Langftt, she spent
,veral years there while her father was in
,mmand. Now they are at Wheeling W.
d where Brother" as he is faniliarly
l.Ied, is busily engaged in damming the
ino river. Dorothy writes that Wheeling IS
Z ghtful. that there are lot of nice young
s-Tied folk, and that they have such good
mes. There is a particularly attractive
2Intry club, which is the rendezvous for
ir Younger set. and where all the festivities

The uncertain political situation which IS
