Dear Annt Mddge:

How many of the good sisters have re-
solved to write for the column after Christ
mas? Well, have really started on the letter
due since the reunion, and several things
have happened since then. Christmas has
come and gone with all its extra work and
pleasure.
No, the pleasures have not all gone, and
how glad we are that memory can "salt
down" those pleasures One of my gifts is
to be in twelve instruments - the Ladies'
Home Journat-and can be shared with others
s. J. Y. reported me as away from home
and with bad eyes. Was away seven weeks,
returning Dec. 70, in time for the holidays
at home. Spent Thanksgiving with jolly
party on farm, where they had raised every
thing for the dinner but the onions and cram
berries. They dad roast pig, as well as
chickens, but "Sukie" grew SO large that she
had to have her head cut off behind her
shoulders to go in the oven. was prepared
for dinner by fine automobile ride in the
bracing air.
Am sorry to report the eyes no better, and
that is one excuse for not writing before.
Have been to good authority, but receive no
encouragement, SO am cut off from my usua,
employment for the present, at least.

day from one who is good enough to belong

which pleased them and which they felt

have seen all you have sent in print, but
have them on hand, scores Of them, all

many Of them will sound the greeting call

graduate them on sending out these rays

He expected to be asked every min

he did not break it himself. He seemed
on the point of doing SO a dozen times,
but finally went to bed with the mys-
