(An Intercepted Letter) Dear Mary:
 It has been weeks since 1 have written to you-but then there have been so few boats, that had I written, you would probably not have receiv- ed a letter until now.

 Juneau is quite gay, Mary. This cial is chiefly due to the presence of the Legislators and their wives Ill the capital, as well as the gradual return of Juneau people who have been spending the Winter in the South.
 Have I told you about the recep ion for the Legislators given by Gov srnor and Mrs. Riggs last week? However, you have probably heard all about it by this time. It was quite the most successful affair that lad been given here for ages. A Gumber of people who had not ap- peared at lesser social affairs on ac. count of war work and other activi ties during the past several months 9ame out for the occasion. I would like to tell you more about it what charming hosts Governor and Mrs. Riggs are, about some of the 'ovely gowns which were worn that evening and about how much every one enjoyed himself, but you have probably heard of 1t all.

 Aline Rosenburg left for her home | III odH IdHCiSCO OH luC ldot LII " of the Alaska. Aline has been visit | ing Mrs. Alvin Goldstein, her sister, | here for some time. Her friends all hope it was long enough to make her come back. They say, don't they, that if one is here a certain length of time though they may for 2 a time they will eventually return to Alaska. Aline was succeeded as stenographer in the Governors office by Miss Jane An derson. who came to Juneau from the Interior on the same boat on which Aline went South. Speaking of Alne's going away on the last trip of the Alaska, reminds me that May Otteson is going South on the next rip the boat will make. May will visit in Portland and Seattle and ether towns in Washington before coming back here She expects to be. gone about two months, I think.

 Everybody had more fun at the St. Patrick's day dance given by the Elks last Saturday. Everyone had heaps of pep. The music was good and there was the best old crowd. They couldn't get them to leave un- til one thirty, they were all having such a good time. There were cum ming favors and heaps of confetti and serpentine. I like 1t, 1t always makes things much more gay.
