Another letter from Ruth Goodnow
at Seattle, Wash, to Miss Nina En-
DRY will prove very interesting to her
old friends
Ruth has long held a responsible
business position and the last year she
has been honored with the presidency
of the Seattle Business and Profession

three hundred
Dear Nina:
Last night at the dinner table, Mama
told me that some papers had come
in the mail to me that day from you,
SO | thought that there must be some
thing special, and let me tell you that
you certainly gave us an evenings en-
tertainment. why, do you know that
it was like reading an interesting story.
Marion and Bob were up at the house
last night for dinner SO she and l got
an awfully big kick reading those
items together. When she saw her
name she gave yell that would put
football yell leader to shame, as for
me you know | am more calm about
things, so | didn't yell when l saw my
name, but it just brought back some
things that had quite forgotten in
all these years Really | had forgot
ten that | had ever been secretary of
the Presbyterian Sunday School Some
of the parties do remember very we'll
had forgotten many of the people
until | read their names and then it all
came back to me. Of course there
are some that | cannot place at all.
| am not through reading the paper
yet as | want TO go over the items
again. Do you know that we got SO
interested in the paper that we forgot
to do the dinner dishes until almost
eight O'clock. Marion and | both
thought that we would like to take a
trip down there and see all the old
scenes and people again, but there
would be so many changes, and we
would not be able to make up for all
of the intervening years that we might
not make it seem just natural How
ever Marion says if she ever goes
there she is not going to miss an inch
of ground. ] notice Mrs. Gelders is
assisting Mr. Gelders in editing the pa
per. 1t is very nice paper, and looks
quite metropolitan in every way. | had
seen very short item in the Seattle
papers about the A. B. & A. wreck.
We are having the most wonderful
bright days now and it makes me be-
lieve that spring is here. The trees are
beginning to bud and in about anoth-
er two weeks the hillsides will look
green. / do love the Spring season
as everything looks so clean 1t seems
that this winter has been SO long and
we had quite bit of snow and cold
weather and surely did get very
weary of it. The mountains were
beautiful this morning as | came to
work, and | could look out over the
bay and see them and they looked so
close. Much snow has melted in the
last few weeks so that means warmer
weather.
always like to have Saturday nice
day as we have our half holiday. To-
day | am going to have luncheon up
| town with friend and we are going
| to matinee
The Club keeps me pretty busy as
had to take over the presidency last
| fall. and | shall be very glad when it
comes June 9th when shall be thru.
1t is a wonderful experience but | do
not care particularly about being In
public life at all. We expect the
French Marshall Joffre and his wife
here in Seattle on April 1st and our
club is to entertain Madam Joffre at
tea for an hour and | must make a
little greeting to her for the Seattle
Business and Professional Women, so
next Saturday about 4 o'clock please
be praying for me. We are also ask
ed to plant trees on the Pacific High
wav between here and Tacoma when
.offre is here. We want to name our
trees after the girls in our club who
served in France There were five OF
them and we think that something
nice for the living is better than to
wait until they are gone, All of the five
served with the Red Cross and one is
still over in Russia.
| went up town at noon on Thursday
and listened to radiophone. Every
body i'll Seattle has the radio bug and
are putting in radio connections in
their homes. It is surely The fad Just
now. They tell me they hear all sorts
of interesting things. 1t is surely won
derful. There is an eleven story
apartment hotel being built here now
and one is to be put in every apart
ment. No telling what the future
years will bring AS yet | have not
, been flying | often think | would
like 10 hut Won see I MIGHT not come
