MRS. ROBERTS WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER

MIS-. ID. u. RODcrt3, who is spend
ing the winter at Cocanut Grove,
Fla. in company with Mr.. Roberts.
has writton an interesting letter to
the New Era, which tells Of some of
tie many treats the people in the
vay OF entertainments, hearing the
well-known speakers, and the like.
Her letter follows:
Here in the Southland, in what is
sometimes called the nations play
ground, we often have the privi-
lege of hearing some of the notables,
who come, sometimes running away
from the cold and sometimes to
make appeals to the worthy causes.
/ like to share these treats with
my friends. The Salvation Army
has won such high place in the es-
TEEN of the nation, that the readers
of the New Era may be interested in
hearing of this lass whom it was our
privilege to meet After strenuous
service in France, she came here for
a needed rest? but in three weeks,
spoke 35 times to appreciative au-
diences, Miss Cloise Aiken, of Belle
Fountain, Ohio, formerly w. C. t.
U. worker. She went under the aus
pices of the Salvation Army because
ty for service she desired. Her
charming personality won all our
hearts. we realized what 1t must have
been to the boys over there to watch
her make and serve the doughnuts.
She came one morning with her gui-
tar. occupied the pulpit giving in
her own peculiar style 121 Psalm, al
so Kiplings, 20 Mother Mine''. and
best OF all dat Little Brac Sheep"
Not dry eye in the house, as the
message Of song came home. She
showed us her doughnut cutter made
of converted German shell, the cut
ter needed weight for SO big task.
Her best record was 2400 in one day.
I'll enclose rule for war doughnuts
as she made them. When in France
she used for a rolling pin beer bot
tile also Converted. BY request
she came to our regular w. C. T. u.
meeting dressed in her work uniform
and made doughnuts which we sold
for her benefit. It was privilege
to meet her and we all rejoiced that
the Salvation Army had such part
in ministering to our soldier boys.
One of the posters advertising her
read, Angel Food, made and serv-
ed by one of the angels. We felt
justified in the announcement.
Another treat was a fish Chowder
dinner picnic when 80 OF us, ESQ
were of our w. c. T. W went in
autos to spend the day 81 miles
north at Ft Lauderdale ach,lovely
drive, excellent dinner. delightful
picnic grounds Breaking waves
dashed high. Many of the party
avaiIed thsnselves of the opportuni-
ty for dip. There we were gladly
surprised to meet our fellow towns
man, Mr.. Harry ingalls,, who has
been caring for tomatoes, also I fear
the frost of last night spoiled the
crop. We hear of ,nilloins loss for
the growers. Records show this to
be the coolest snap ever recorded in
March. Miami has been very full
of those who came 20 call 1t their
winter home. The million dollar
Causeway extending across the bay,
uniting Miami with the ocean beach,
is now open to travel. 1t is az
miles long. 100 feet wide, solid ce-
ment Except for draws for passage
of boats). 1t adds much In attract
i've ness. We were greatly pleased to
see our friends the Gallavans who
will have much to tell of their trip.
