'Dere Mabel" and all the family
aYonsknow Mabel some one said they
thought it was poor for me TO write
to. girl that had been wrote to so
much as you. But they don't know
you I guess, or they'd be writing to
I haven't much time today Mabel to
write tho but 1 didn't want to dfsap-
point you. But it is the day for the
football game Washburn Will play
with X. U. and it is important to US
all They say some of the people in
this town have bets up on the game
Now that is not right for some one is
sure to lose and then they will feel
bad
But speaking of feeling bad, hear
this Mabel. There is a woman here
whose husband died some time ago.
And they vas swell people Mabel and
had lots of flowers and all that and
black edged cards to send afterwards
all engraved because 1 felt one and
know and they were to say thank you
for the flowers and for feeling sorry.
We do to. Well they didn't get SO
many flowers as they thought or
something and they had some of the
cards. left. And they wouldn't do for
just any letter you know but the other
side was nice and white and unused
so the lady whose husband she was
thanking them for being sorry be-
cause he was dead, uses these cards
to write notes and memmorandaums
on Now Mabel does that seem re-
spectful to you for it doesn't TO me and
we think so much alike and 1 do re-
spect your judgments.
And now 1 will tell you something
funny Mabel so you will cheer up. 1t
isn't rite to write sofrowful letters
Z There is Il woman who wanted soileu
/ (See how cultivated 1 am. Cultivated
people say soiled and not dirty
clothes hamper in her bath room to
put towels in And she had just a lit
tie room so she had to be careful what
she got and the only thing she could
find that would fit was box that was
made to keep cake and things in.
Some people always keep cake to give
their visitors you know Mabel. Not
that l would encourage it, And this
box has big sign across the top of It
that says Savoy" Now don't you
think that is funny?
1 can't write more today Mabel.
! Only remem ber this If some one tells
you two things and you don't know
which to beneve, believe the best one
and give them the benefit Of the
| reason I cart write more Is because
L have another girl You know me
Mabel, I wouldn't do that.
Be careful what you believe Mabel.
for my sake Mabel.
