Dearest Joan:
1 was dreaming today in a shady
arbor beside the lake, of what I'd like
my future to be. Do you do it some-
times. dear. in your quiet old home in
Bentsville? You write 50 little OF
your heart affairs, Joanie-don't you
have any? l am eaten up with
thoughts of them. Are girls. then, so
different? Or is it only that 1 babble
everything and o don't?
Well. / closed my eyes and sum
moned a picture: Me in a simple,
pretty home. An apartment, I guess.
in New York. Some old neighborhood
hat used to be fashionable but which
has been passed by and half forgotten,
with low, mellow brick houses of the
sort one sees around Washington
Square. -Four or five rooms, but at
least two of them square and sunny,
and with a fireplace.
There is warm yellow-brown paper
on the walls and orange and brown
soft silk at the windows. A deep,
r-usset-covered davenport before the
fireplace. A generous table with mag
azines and books and a candy jar and
q tobacco jar and a lamp with an
orange shade. Plain rugs, a few good
pictures, b~ookshelves buift-in. and a
couple of fat easy chairs. That is the
living room.
Then a dining room, very sunny and
papered in old blue. Blue-fiowered
c%retonne at the wide window. A blue
rug. A copper bowl with flowers on
the plain wood table. A window-box
full of wildly-gay geraniums.
And Oh, Joan. the kitchen-very
little, very clean and bright Il don't
know how I'm Il have all this sun
shine in a New York fiat, but this is
a dream f1at) and modern and full of
gas and electric things that make
housekeeping a lark.
The bedroom has plain, old quaint
furniture. Chintz of course in pinks
and bluffs. A mahogany highboy with
glass knobs. A dressing table with
c~andlesticks on it and a framed pic
ture of you. A deep closet with pretty
clothes in it-not too many, but all
of them good and appropriate and
stylish. There is an old mahogany
bed with Aunt Susan's rose-and-cream

liquor dealers today were preparing
to appease :Baccus' followers during
their short fall from the water wag-
on-the period between the day war
time prohibition officially ceases and
the day when national prohibition
becomes effective.
Thirty-five liquor firms in the
state, acting under authority grant,
ed by E. J. Lynch, collector of in
ternational revenue for Minnesota,
have commenced the bottling Of 49,
900 gallons of 100 proof whisky
They expect to finish this task be-
fore the nationwide constitutional
drought sets in.
The entire $4,000 gallons of
whisky represents the amount Of un-
bottled liquor in the state, and which
has been taxed at the rate of $40
per gallon.
Minnesotans, however, will not be
permitted to avail themselves of the
opportunity to purchase liquor after
war time prohibition passes as this
state voted itself "dry." Test cases
to learn the courts opinion on the
state prohibition law are pending
and early decisions are expected.
