Dear Mr Perrler:--l nave certainty

moving so much lately, but will write
now. The boys that came with me

see We have been working pretty
hard getting really for the Dutch and
are going through them like dose Of
salts. The boys have talked about
Dad Perrier lot and what you said
to us. We are in France and it is
pretty good country. Wish ! could
tell you about it. We had a very
good time crossing but was awful
crowded. To man that has not seen
an A'>o"~ican army cannot tell or imag-
inc what it is like. didn't think there
were so many men in the Z. S. and
they still come. We are all coming
back before long. The boys done well
last week, but you will get the news
before this reaches you. We have
sure made friends with the people.
Have pretty good time here. but Of
course l would like to be back in the
good old states. There is no country
like the U. S. l have seen number
of them since left too. Well we will
talk it over when we all get back.

Their offers were gladly accepted and
they returned home three days later

Ladies' Separate Skirts

We have gone through our
Skirt stock and picked out all
odd numbers and put them on
one rack to close at one-half
the original price. Here are
Skirts in All Wool Materials,
the styles are good and quail

Skirt for general use, you can
not afford to let these values
pass. Remember that all of
our wool clothes are worth al
most double what they were,
and these are Skirts that were
bought at the old price and
are selling at one-half of that
price. Here are Skirts at from
S2.25 to $500 each.
