My home is furnished nicely, but I have not cared to have my husband buy piano, for I do not know how to play. miss the exchange of friend ly calls which were so sweet to me. Women always long for women friends. I love company. How can I win them back?

that a medicine for the kidneys, pos
sessing real healing and curative
properties, would be a blessing TO
