Dear Mary
This is an awfully clustering day;
Wind is blowing n blizzard. Jack says
It means fine outlook for crops-yes,
but not crop of Easter hats.
/ do so hope the weather is nice on
Easter Sunday. I have swell new
hat and suit. Our milliner, Mrs. La
N. Rogers has something decidedly
new in her store, a large wax figure
to display hats and gowns on. 1t is
SO ife-like, bowed to it before
recognized what it was.
+ That reminds me of joke on my
self. One time, when l was in Dem
yer, bought new suit and hat and
decided to wear them then and there.
Going into another store, l accidently
bumped into full-length mirror right
near doorway. turned around, saw
my own reflection in the new dress and
hat, and said: 81 beg your pardon!"
And for quite while afterwards,
wondered where had met that "wom-
an" before.
What have you been doing the last
week? I've been paying good-by calls
to several friends who are moving
away.
Mrs. d. Il. Peck has leased her big
rooming house and gone to Salida to
be near her daughter, Mrs. A. NJ. Car
penter.
Mrs. NJ. J. Sullivan also went to
Salida this week. She turned over
Clifford, and is going to try ranching
She bought a place near Browns Can
on, near Salida.
Hope the ladies don't get victimixed
like Frank Windiate and couple of
other citizens there did this week. Did
you ever hear of robbery by telephone
The way it happened was--a couple of
fellows went to the two Salida banks
and presented huge checks drawn on
certain business men of that city.
The cashiers at the banks said they
would have to see the men on whom
the checks were drawn. The robbers
said that was all right, but couldn't
the cashiers get the men over the tele-
phone? And the unsuspecting men
at the bank called up the place of
business of the men wanted, and in
the meantime confederate of the
robbers was that same business house
using the phone" and, of course, the
bank men supposed it was the owner
they were talking to. How's that for
nerve?
am sorry to see Gunnison folks
move away.The Cuthbert family arc

says Elsie and Grace Cuthbert left
school Friday.

day he sold that Mr.. Van AIKEN started

Guess I've told y0n all the news
No weddings this week, but the Stork
blew in with the blizzard and left a
cute little baby girl at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Chinery.
So long for this time. AGNES
