| Here goes for an answer to your
ever welcome letter. Am going down
town this afternoon to look at those
new style gasoline lamps that VIM.
| Hill is selling, and will mail this too.
Jack is still in Denver. He writes
that he is going to attend the Live
Stock convention there this week. He
met T. W. Gray, H. C. Bartlett, A. X.
Stevens and A. E. Hyzer, who went
over to attend the convention.
Yes, | knew John Panion and Miss
Annie Perk of Crested Butte were
married There was another wedding
besides, that of Frank Phillips and
Miss Nora Hazard. They will live in
Pitkin.
And there is a brand new boy in
town. He arrived at the home of I.
J. Layden Saturday. Tom says he
, is going to make a railroad engineer
out of him.
Isn't it too bad about Frank Eells?
He has been so i'll, and the doctors
say he will not live the week out. They
have sent for his relatives in the east.
The drygoodsstore of Allen & Miller
has consolidated with the Latimer es-
tablishment and hereafter will be
conducted in the Latimer building on
the corner.
Don't be surprised if you should re-
ceive a box of flowers next election
time instead of box of candy, as
Alex Thomas is cultivating a regular
green house in his office at the court
! house, and his friends say he is going
to present the lady voters of the
county with bouquets when he goes
electioneering next time.
You should see the dandy delivery
wagon and horse Collins e. Jennings
have purchased for their grocery.
| The business of that store got too big
for the old horse, so they got a new
one. Suppose if those new-fangled
things they call automobuggies lis
that the right name y ever come into
use, that grocery store will have to
have one too.
| Il. A. Mitchell was in from CochetO-
pa this week. He says it was a slam
/ on Razor creek. He thinks the To-
cality where he came from is the only
place on earth for a ranchman to live.

Miss Erma, have gone to Denver, and
may go on to Kansas City for a visit.
T. J. Parlin, of Parlins, is enjoying

Mendenhall of Lake City was in town
this week
Miss Bessie Estes had lovely par
ty the other night in honor of her
friend, Miss Bannistcr, who is visiting
here. They had q funny game, which
wound up with the girls being auction
ed off to the fellows. Some Of them
brought fabulous prices.
Went to the club meeting at Mrs.
W. w. McKee's yesterday. Had such
a lovely lunch. That reminds me of
what you said about your party. |
wish | could go, but | cannot just now
| haven't any nice recipes of my own
that you could try, but the Tribune
published the recipes that the ladies
secured for the New Years edition,
and ] have copied them out. You are

we'll to have a spice cake like the one
made after Mrs. Getchell's recipe, a
chocolate cake baked in layers like
Mrs. Williams and put together with
filling made after Mrs. Meyers re-
cipe would be fine. Then, instead of
sandwiches, make finger rolls. | am
enclosing Mrs. Adams recipe for
making them. For dessert. l be-
lieve that Mrs. Sills' reciepe for Can
ary cream will fill the bill. Anyway,
l am sending them all and you try
them. l don't think, however, that it
would be well for the little folks who
come with their mothers to eat such
rich cake. Better make them some of
those soft ginger cookies like the ones
in Mrs. Warmers recipe.
Well, | must close now and go down
town. Hope you have a good time at
your party. Tell me about it next
week. AGNES.
