You poor thing. Such a dreadful
trip you must have had. What with
the fear that the trains would be
taken off at any time by that horrid
strike. and all the packing and doing
about before leaving Aunt Olga's and
saying goodbye TO all, ESPECIALLY
'Sweetieo, left must have been any
thing but the dream you have pic
tured 1t during your innocent young
debut Gays. However, you will GER

churches.
TIE Gift Shop this week is showing
some beautiful shades of zephyr fer
making the new ripple-tail sweater
that is 50 much in vogue From what
hear they are going to be the rage
this fall and all the girls in the neigh
borhood are bunsy with needle these
days. ! found such lovely material
there yesterday and when you come
down to spend that week we will
devote our unspoien hours knitting
sweaters for our own sweet selves.
for last year and the year before you
know we were knitting for the SOL
diers in France. even II mighty few
of the articles made by patriotic
American women seamed to have got
ten to the boys they were made for.
We have had one Of the Humphrey
Automatic Water Heaters put in our
basement. During the warm weather
we use a gas stove and you know
ii is impossible to have plenty of hot
water if you have no other way of
heating II. To fire up the furnace
ives just out OF the question, besides
ours is not hot water heat, so John
told me about the kind OF heaters
tn Mr.. J. G. Kobe was selling, and
I go. him to come out and install one
and now we have hot water in the
bath and at the iavatories and in the
kitchen sink with practically no ex-
pense. because the gas burns only
when the faucet is opened and when
you close the faucet you automatically
cut off The gas.
stopped in this week to see some
OF the pretty platinum effects that
Mr.. Cooke OF Cooke & Company has at
the busy little store" on West Broad,
and oh. Lottie, you just ought to see
the diamonds he has. perfectly beau
tiful ones. John told me that Mr..
Cooke was probably one of the larg-
est individual buyers Of diamonds in
Richmond, and Mr.. Cooke told me the
other day that he went into the mar
ket before the war and simply loaded
up because he knew there was to be a
steady advance, and such stones as he
shows to people whom he thinks know
gems and can appreciate them
Mr.. Fravser told me down at Howell
Bros. Thursday that he saw YOU re-
Gently but there We're so many GUS
toners in the store at the time that
could not get chance to talk to him
much, and you know I was diving to
know all about you. Anyhow. Mr.
Frayser was telling me about the
right and wrong way to use my lights
at home, and how one could econo-
mize by having nothing but Mazda
lamps and get Just as much illumina-
ton. so knew he knew what he was
talking about and bought enough
lamps ito last me during the winter.

as we have had for several days this
week. Poor John nearly died. In
the spring he got some clothes thaa

ness and still allow him to keep cool.
but he was not thinking Of all this
dreadful heart. So got so sorry for
him. and Thursday l just took 1t in
my head and went down to Kirk
arrish clothes shop on Broad and
told Mr.. Kirk how John was suffering,
and he got me cut some of those
beautiful palm beaches that he carries
and made me telephone for John and
he came up to the store at once not
knowing what had happened and
suspecting maybe that | WIS trying
t. elope and Mr.. Kirk as his best
friend was OBTAINING me. and. well we
made him get into a little cubhy hole
and pull off those hot things he had
on, and well. when he came out with
his palm beach on he did look so
cool and sweet that I Rugged him
right before the whole store, hut
there hasn't anybody to see but Mr..
Kirk and he didn't care. Mr. Kirk
told me that he had some of these
suits that We're made not on machines
but as a tailor would make them, and
he is going to put them on the
market cheap to close them out.
l have been telling you about the
way Mr. Stringer, of the Stringer
Electric company, wired my house,
and do you know that it is just A JOY
to know -hat~so many of the ladies
in our neighborhood have appealed
to him to rewire and make altera-

Yesterday Aunt Sarah came in from
