Gastineau Gossip (An Intercepted Letter)

Dear Mary:
 And still they come It is Sat udray, so I write again. There isn't much to tell you, and my time is short, but l will do my best, Mary.
 Mrs. w. A. c. Baldwin, nee Cha ron, has come to Juneau from Cor dova to make her home here again. Mrs Baldwin has been visiting her sister Mrs. Sellen. at the West ward since last spring. She had a lovely time in Cordova.
 This is Liberty Day, and I guess everyone is going to the party for the sub-chaser officers and crew and other men in uniform, tonight. Mr. Jacobs, who is on the committee, said he hoped that it would be as good a party as the dances they give at the Westward. He has re- gently returned from there and said that socially the towns North of here are much more lively than Juneau is. Maybe it is time for Juneau to get back some of her old pep.
 Did you know that Howard Ma lone is in France? In letter re- gently received by Miss Goldstein, her brother told her that he had seen Malone.
 Dr. Malone has received a com mission as First Lieutenant in he Medical Corps, and MT. Walker, the supervisor of surveys in the land office, has been made a cap tain in the Engineers Corps. Both of them were ordered to Camp Lewis.
 Mrs. Jennings came back to Ju- neau on the Princess Sophia. She and Cordelia. have been visiting ih Victoria during the summer. While hey were there a division to which a number of their friends were at .ached was fighting at the front and news came of one after an other of the men, saying that they were wounded. Isn't it terrible ?
 Cordelia has returned to Seattle.
 Mr. and Mrs. Cheney will leave for California on one of the next boats to spend the winter. MT. Cheney has case which is coming up soon in the Court of Appeals.
 l was talking to one of the men in town the other day and he said he pitied the girls and the sad time they had during war times, and he tried to cheer me up with tales of how much, better Juneau was go- ing to be after 1t was all over. How ever. we are not the first to be out of luck during war times. for Lady Mary Wortley Montagu wrote Mrs, Hewet more than two centuries ago that Mrs. Cartwright had pawned her diamond necklace to buy Val entine snuff-box and added that These wars make men so violent scarce, that these good ladies take up with the shadows of them" But then, some of us lack the diamond necklace. and, too, upon whom would we bestow the snuff-box had we the necklace to pawn? And then shadows are scarce in Jul neau.
 Did you know that Mrs. McLaugh- lin, Suzanne, Rose, Geraldine and Dennis and John will leave for Sc attle on the next Humboldt to make their home there? Catherine has been South for some time. and has been lucky enough to find a house for them. People say that houses and even the smallest apartments are 70 scarce in Seattle that one
